MITCHELL SUBJECT: Political Issues Group Meeting Thursday, March 16, 1972 Those invited to attend the meeting were: Anne Armstrong Herbert Klein Robert J. Brown Fred LaRue Ken Cole John Lehman Charles Colson Clark MacGregor Bob Dole Fred Malek Senator Peter H. Dominick Ray Price Thomas B. Evans Donald Rumsfeld Robert Finch William Safire Leonard Garment Gordon Strachan Roy Goodearle Robert Teeter Bryce Harlow William Timmons Edwin Harper Rose Mary Woods Rita Hauser Those in attendance were: Anne Armstrong Herbert Klein Bob Brown Fred LaRue Harry Dent Jeb Magruder Senator Peter Dominick Peter Millspaugh Robert Finch Van Shumway Bryce Harlow Gordon Strachan Senator Peter Dominick, Chairman of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee, presented his views on the current situation which exists in each of the states having Senate races this year. He presented a CONFIDENTIAL FIDENTIAL -2- state-by-state analysis of each candidate detailing the present strengths and weaknesses, the financial resources, and where there will be primaries, he gave a brief summary of the likely contenders. In summation, his overall evaluation was that there will be very little likelihood that the Republican Party will be able to gain Senate seats in November. In seven cases the race is likely to be tight for the Republican in- cumbent. If he encounters competition, Senator Allot will certainly encounter a difficult contest in Senator Dominick's opinion. If op- position appears as is presently expected in New Jersey, Case too will face a difficult primary fight. In Nebraska Senator Eagleton places Curtis' contest among those where there will be competition, though Dominick finds that this would be difficult to believe. In Michigan, though he has shown recent strength, Griffin will certainly have a difficult race. In three cases there will be some difficulty in the race even though the seat is presently held by a strong incum- bent. Percy would have some trouble, Dominick feels, if he cannot reconcile the dissident factions of the Illinois party. Margaret Chase Smith will be all right if she can emerge from the primary race without trouble, though the primary contest should seriously challenge her. And finally, Pearson looks all right though he had some initial difficulty in presenting his voting record to Kansas voters. Asked about the impact of the ITT investigation on these races, Senator Dominick felt that it was thus far negligible. Far more seri- ous, in his opinion, would be the impact of the Campaign Disclosure Act of 1972. Though there are presently no difficulties in raising money for the candidates, he felt that the situation would become more serious. On the Democratic side there is an indication that in four states opportunities exist for defeating the incumbent. In Rhode Island John Chaffie represents one of the few clear examples of a Republican candidate with enough strength to win. In West Virginia and North Carolina if a candidate could emerge without splitting the party in the primary then there is an excellent chance. And, finally, in Virginia there exists the best opportunity of any of these states which are presently held by Democratic incumbents. But at the same time, Senator Dominick pointed out, the split between the Byrd and Holton factions has created a situation where the best possibility of converting a state to a Republican stronghold is likely to be denied. CONFIDENTIAL CONF IDENTIAL -2- Therefore, in summation, Senator Dominick predicted, from the per- spective of the early spring, that it was unlikely that the Repub- lican Party could pick up a seat in November. Among the seats which are occupied by Republican incumbents, there are nine likely winners, three seats where there is need for a candidate and seven seats where there will be a contest. Among Democrats, there are four races where there is likely to be a contest, four where there is presently no viable Republican candidate, and six where it is likely that the incumbent will carry the race.

None of our four regional chairmen has completed picking his county chairmen although Banowsky and McCandless expect to have theirs this week, and Monagan, who has 42 counties, will have most of his. Packard was out of town last week. I'll know where he stands this week. He is the only one who has yet to pick a staff man. I am not disturbed by this delay because we have yet to receive any guidance as to how they finance their operations. We have been told that contributions of $100 or less stay in the state, but now we are told that the Hispanic Finance Committee, headed by Ben Fernandez, is going to send contributions, regardless of size, back to Washington. I have reported this to Mr. Firestone but do not know what he intends to do about it. I am instructing each regional chairman to tell his county chairmen to pick finance chairmen immediately and have them look to Mr. Firestone and Tom Bauer for guidance in this area. We cannot function without money. The state financial picture remains unsettled and unsatisfactory. Theoretically they have put $25,000 more in the mail, but that is only $75,000 for a campaign that began the first of January in the biggest, most complex state. One reason we are not farther along is that we have not been able to finance a full-fledged operation. Elsa Sandstrom is now fully aboard and ready to begin organizing the women. Someone in Washington made a policy decision that we can't call women "women", but must call them "volunteers". This is a minor point, but the women out here in the GOP like to be called "women" and have traditionally functioned as women's organizations within the campaign structure. It is a shame to get women's lib mixed up with the prime objective of winning an election. Albert Spiegel is now also aboard and feels that he can be effective in the Jewish community. He is also willing to take on other tasks. I think we have a real find here, thanks to Larry Goldberg at the Washington committee and Taft Schrieber. Whatdoe the wee 2 I met with 25 leading Negroes here last week and on Tuesday will meet with Dr. Henry Lucas in San Francisco. This is the week we expect to get our black organization functioning. Ditto with our Mexican-Americans Thanks to you, to Ed Nixon, and to the celebrity committee headed by Ed Crane and Sue Taurog, last night's dinner honoring Mexican appointees was a success and gave us the handle we needed on the responsible Mexican com- munity. As you know, this dinner should never have been scheduled. And, after it was, some people at the White House fouled it up unbelieveably. As a result we had to put it back together for them on 10 days' notice or risk winning the enmity of several thousand Mexicans who normally could be counted on to support us. The Vice President, who originally was supposed to speak, will be out here anyway. Perhaps you should talk to him about it. Your youth area now appears in pretty good shape. They have staff and are beginning to organize and seek out volunteers for voter registration purposes. There are a number who are optimistic about getting speakers on campuses, etc. I plan a meeting on that this week. We are still looking for some leadership in the senior citizens area without a great deal of success, yet. I will keep you informed. I hope to have our first meeting on installation and use of phone banks this week also. Washington is sending out Nancy Bradaas, their expert, to help. I met with her in Washington last week, and she is first rate. We hope to have pilot projects in phone bank use, direct mail and some areas of advertising in the primary so that we have a better idea of what we are doing in the general. We seem to be in pretty general agreement with national on this approach. 2. We are fairly well set up now in communications and are beginning to feed out actualities and press releases. We are still hampered by not knowing when high administration figures, whom we could use for p.r. purposes, are coming into the state. I hope this clears up shortly. 3. Registration. It is beginning to pick up in some counties, many of which are seeking our help. Los Angeles is a disaster area according to early results. As a result, I have decided to move the Nixon organization right in on top of the LA County precinct organization (and perhaps do this in other counties, too.). I assure you we are going to register people in this state whether or not the counties perform. CC: John Mitchell Bob Haldeman Jeb Magruder Gordon Luce Ed Meese THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 3, 1972 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN FROM: JOHN DEAM of SUBJECT: Potential Disruption at the Republican National Convention This memorandum is to keep you abreast of the developments in respect to potential disruptions at the Republican National Conven- tion in San Diego and to up-date our two previous memoranda on this subject. The good news is that in general not much has changed during the past month, leaving the situation as fluid and unorganized as before. The bad news is that another new national group has been formed, with its primary focus on San Diego, and that the potential for disturbances remains. Basically, it is still too early to accurately forecast the magnitude of this problem. The new "Allamuchy Tribe" (name derived from the location of its initial meetings at Allamuchy, N.J.), organized in December 1971 under the leadership of such well-known New Left militants as Rennie Davis, Stu Alpert, Jay Craven, and Jerry Rubin, has just begun to attract attention. This group, which is also referred to in movement circles as the Election Year Strategy Information Center (EYSIC), seeks to direct all protest activities during the 1972 election year, culminating with demonstrations at the GOP Convention. Reportedly, John Lennon, the former Beatle, has already contributed $75,000 to the organization and has considerable influence in formulating its plans. The Allamuchy Tribe tentatively intends to appear at major primary elections to confront the candidates with the "New Left message, 11 and also to encourage a large turnout at San Diego. Their degree of success at the primaries is likely to have a great influence on the strategy they finally adopt for the Republican Convention. - 2 - The other major national New Left organizations still have not drawn up any specific plans for the convention. The Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ) has held discussions on possible support of demonstrations but has not yet agreed on detailed activities. Likewise, the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) has stated it would participate in demonstrations, but not indicated in what manner. On the local level, the San Diego Convention Coalition (SDCC), consisting of some 100 persons representing a variety of local antiwar, New Left, and underground organizations, has initiated contact with various groups and individuals on the East Coast in order to obtain both financial and administrative support in organ- izing demonstrations. The SDCC is also going forward with its plans to circulate a petition in the San Diego area protesting the holding of the convention in that city. Details of the demonstrations being planned by SDCC are still in the discussion stage. Tentatively, three days of demonstrations are being considered. On the first day, a parade may be held with floats symbolizing the major issues involved. On the second day, demon- strators may assemble at the San Diego Sports Arena and demand that the Republican Party adopt the SDCC platform including total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Indochina, a program for "ration- alizing" the economy, a reversal of the President's alleged policies of "internal repression," and an end to racism and sexism. On the third day, SDCC plans to organize acts of civil disobedience, including disruption of traffic and stopping "business as usual. 11 This latter objective would obviously be attractive to some of the leadership of the "Allamuchy Tribe," despite other leaders' vows that violent confrontation should be avoided. It is becoming increasingly obvious that SDCC is also counting on foreign support for its harassment of the Republican Convention. A working draft plan of the SDCC includes proposals for the use of a special television network to broadcast videotaped messages from - 3 - other countries and broadcasts over public address systems of live telephone calls from the Vietnamese in Paris and from the Communist Chinese at the United Nations. Of course, since the President's trip to China, the Chinese probably will have some thoughts of their own about such activities aimed directly and personally against the President. Likewise, the last attempt to relay messages from the NVN Paris delegation flopped here in Washington. We remain in close and constant touch with this situation, as well as with the planning efforts being taken by the city and state officials to cope with it. As new developments occur, we shall keep you informed. ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM March 21, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: PETER H. DAILEY SUBJECT: Analysis of Television Documentaries and Issue-Oriented Special Programs You have already given tentative approval for the development of several documentary features on the President. At the time we asked for general approvals, we stated that some of the conclusions had been based on general knowledge. Attached is an analysis prepared by our media group. It covers the subject in greater detail and substantiates conclusions reached earlier. If you have any questions on this document, I will be happy to answer them. CONFIDENTIAL Addendum "PAID POLITICALS" ANALYSIS OF DOCUMENTARIES/ISSUE-ORIENTED SPECIALS The following is an analysis of Documentaries/Issue- Oriented Specials prepared to provide us with further in- sight with which to determine the expected performance of these vehicles in the upcoming election. Background An important media element in the National Election Media plan is the recommendation to schedule pre-packaged television programs geared to afford us the opportunity to very positively present in depth - (a) the human side of "Nixon The Man" through two half-hour documentaries. (b) greater insight into his family life from the women's (Mrs. Nixon's) point of view through the use of a ten minute program. (c) an expansion of the President's side of the story on key issues through the use of five 5-minute specials and (d) two half-hour specials aired election eve to be used as the final thrust in clarifying and presenting the President's platform on issues. They also would be available to "counter any negatives that might have de- veloped." Depending on final pricing and availability, the extent of our use of special political programs during the election will ultimately depend on "need to address issues" as they do repre- sent a very viable medium for us in view of the ceiling on spending in media and more importantly broadcast media. The reason for this is that the total cost quoted for tele- vision announcements have traditionally included in them a cost for time and also for program production whereas, the poli- tical programs we will be scheduling will be developed out of the production budget (which does not come under the spending law), and we therefore will only be incurring the time costs ex- pense. (2) MEDIA ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE OF POLITICAL SPECIALS I - Introductory Comments Television Specials are used by sponsors, and during poli- tical years by candidates, to provide added impact to their re- gular media efforts through strong identification and control of the editorial environment. These specials are geared to specific segments of the television audience. Their rating performance can vary con- siderably depending on many factors but most importantly, on three key elements: (A) Type of Program - Of the many varieties of specials aired in any given year, the highest ratings are usually garnered by entertainment type programs (i.e., Academy Awards, Bob Hope, etc. with ratings in the 20+ percentile). The lowest rated specials have traditionally been the news/documentaries averaging in the 10-11% rating range. (B) Placement of Program - The time period selected is of critical importance bearing in mind the follow- ing - (1) The Total Homes Using Television "peak during the middle winter months (Jan- March) with approximately 69% of the homes using TV followed closely by the Oct-Dec period with 65% of the homes using TV. (2) Day Part and time period placement can have a considerable effect as prime- time (7:30-11 PM) offers the largest potential audience and the 8:30-10 PM time period having the greatest concen- tration of homes with sets turned on. (C) Competition/Counter Programming - Regardless of the time period selected, a careful analysis of the competitive programming's strongth and weakness is critical not only in terms of garnering the largest audience (placement against low rated shows) but also the "right" kind of audience (counter pro- gramming) (3) It's important to note that specials traditionally have a higher than average efficiency (CPM) premium attached to them which can range all the way up to $8-12.00 per thousand against households as compared to approximately $3.25-4.50 per thousand for (60 sec) participations running throughout many different prime time programs. In spite of this, though, they are still used quite prevalently because of the impact, identification and avail- ability of editorial control. II - Historical Analysis of Political Programs A. Background Political programs are most analogous to the news/ documentary classification and as will be high- lighted, perform accordingly in terms of the size of audience garnered. In specifically analyzing the performance of paid politicals or political oriented programs, a total of 162 different programs all aired in evening time segments were reviewed ranging in length from 5 minutes to 90 minutes and covering the period of time from 1961 to 1970. For purposes of this analysis, these 162 programs were classified into five major categories as follows (see attached for details). Classification Example "Paid Politicals" NBC's "Citizens for Humphrey/Muskie" (1968) "People" CBS's "Price Politics & The President" (1968) "Issues" NBC's "Red China & The Bomb" (1964) "Specials" NBC's "Problems of the Presidency" (1964) "Women" CBS's "At Home with Mrs. Goldwater (1964) B. Findings As anticipated, the performance of all of the programs analyzed, followed the traditional pattern of news/ documentary type programs. (4) Following are the specific findings: (1) Ratings - The range in ratings garnered for all classifications analyzed (irregardless of pro- gram lengths) fell into the 7-11% range in over 90% of the cases. On average, though, the shorter length programs (five-fifteen minute programs) did perform some- what better (range of 8.2% to 16.1%). This is attributable to the fact that the ratings re- ported for the five minute shows are averages for the 15 minute period in which they were scheduled. In spite of this, one could expect that a large per cent of the audience would "stay with" the short special through the con- clusion of the segment. (2) Share - The share for all classifications and lengths of programs averaged in the 14 to 20 range, again with the shorter length programs, generating a slight advantage for the same reasons noted above. (3) Classification - No one classification of program type seems to have greater strength over another although within classifications certain programs did accrue a somewhat larger audience depending on program content, rele- vance and competitive scheduling. (4) Historical Trend - No conclusive hypothesis can be drawn from year to year as the range in audience garnered seems to be fairly consistent. This is also true of programs aired within "political years. (5) Audience - Demographic data for all of the programs is somewhat limited. From the information available, the politically- oriented programs analyzed followed the demographic profile of the general nows/ documentary specials, aired over the net- works in that they skewed more urban more upscale better educated slightly older (5) Summary Paid politicals and/or politically-oriented documentary specials perform as well as other general interest news/ documentary programs. The length of the show does seem to have some bearing on the size of the audience garnered due to the "carry-over" factor. Regardless of performance, though, our recommendation to include specials of varying lengths in the National Election Plan was designed not to increase the reach of the total plan but to provide added impact and editorial emphasis to the "message" we are directing to the voting public. We can anticipate that the size of the audience generated will ultimately depend on the "topics" selected and placement of the programs. The extent to which we use them will ultimately depend on "needs" as well as pricing and availability.

Conse- quently, groups are vivided into two categories: is dozen najor voting block (O.E., cluarly, otheles) and some fifty If functional groups (c. deatists and selentises). Our major emphasis will, of course, be on the major voting block in office in convince them to vose for the President and to enlist their support in the companys. The cifort expended on the functional groups will be focused on obtaining manpower support for the campaign. Also, priorities should be set between major voting bloce in order to guide recource decisions, management attention, and White House and Proof- dontial cfforts. Top pricrity should be devoted to those groups: Which are large OF important beyond their national average in key States. 2 - -- Where the issues and accomplishments are favorable and a special effort can be instrumental in either attracting or rc- taining votes for the President. Based on those criteria, the blocs singled out for top priority and second priority attention are outlined below. Of course, these are only gen- eral guidelines as the priority requirements in each State will vary (0.g., Spanish-speaking will be 2. top priority in Texas and California).

There are seemingly no commending requens for Catholics to vote against the President, and he is on the right size of the germano issues (O.S., aid to parochial schools and shortion).

Also, 3 much greater proportional effort will he made in the large key States such as California and Illinois. This will renge down to a minimal offort in the smallest States such as Rhode Island or Wyoming where the outcome is already fairly clear. Planning. To effectively integrate Citizens into the compaign, it will be important to involve Voting Blue Directors in the planning procoss. As pointed out carlier, general compaign plans are being prepared now for various voting blocs. Later, the Voting Bloc Elrector should participate with Bob Marik and the Clote Nixon Chairman in developing that part of the State Victory Plan pertaining to his area. These State plane would then, govern his and his organization's activities for the remainder of the campaign.

Ja addition, I estimate 3 - 4 medium level Assistants will be ne ided to develop end control the 50 or GO functional groups.

Each voting bloc group will have a full-time Director along with some support staff.

Budgets are cursently being propared for cach voting Bloc group, and the size of staff for each group will very with the size of target and complexity of mission. Overall, I intend to keep the statis small with most added pro- fessionals devoted to field support. A prominent National Citizens Chairman and broadly representative National Citizens Committee will be formed octensibly to oversee all ci the voting bloc and functional group activities. of course, the Dale Committee will remain the major overall committee. Recommended names for the Citizens Committee will be submitted to you for enproval. Similarly, Chair- men and Committees will be formed for all the Voting Bloc groups and must of the Citizens : metional groups. We plan to maintain light control over all Chairmen and their committees. Agree 4 Disagree a - State. In conjunction with the State Nixon Chairman, a Chairman and Committee will be formed in each date for most of the Voting Bloc and functional groups. Criteria for solection will be similar to that at the national level. In keeping with holding the State Nition Chairman accountable for re- sults in Lis State, the State Voting Bloc Chairmen (c. State Older Americans Chairman) would be selected jointly by the State Nixon Chair- man and the National Voting Bloc Director. Be would report directly to the State Nixon Chairman and receive functionel/programmatio guidince from the National Director as long as this guidance is not inconsistent with the State Victory Ilan. In some cases it may be necessary to hire a full-time State Director for & major voting bloc (U.g., Spanish-Specking in California). This would bo decided in conjunction with the State Nixon Chairmen and would come out of his State budget. Since Citizens Is integrated into the Campaign, in most cases there will be no need for an overall Citizens Chairman at the State level. In some States, however, where the registration is largely Democratic and where the Nixon group is not broadly representative, we may consider an overall Citizens Cheirman and Committee. in these cases the Citizens Chairman would report (although not visibly) to the Dinte Mixon Chairman, would not have authority over the Voting Bloc Chairmen, and would be primarily we are This further, and any specific decisions would be made in collaboration with the State Mixon Chairman.

This memorandum briefly outlines the means by which I plan to carry out this assignment and suggests implementation steps. It also serves as a briefing paper for your planned meeting with Jerry Jones. CONCEPT CI INC CONTROL STOTEM Because of the difficulty of measuring performance in a campaign and the hectic nature of campaign activity, campaign management control traditionally has been informal and has lacked systematic evaluation of progress or sure follow through on directives. While we cannot hope to reach the degree of management control that business enterprises attain, I believe we can develop an approach which will meet your management needs. Since the only valid test of campaign effectiveness is the election, various proxies, as described below, must be used to track progress during the course of the campaign. Polls are the best overall measure of effectiveness. However, they must be supplemented to measure progress in conducting key campaign activities, e.g., field operations, voter blo,c programs and support activities. Progress Reports from each key campaign activity will help to identify difficiencies in performance and to ensure follow through on your directives. Spot Checks are necessary to assess the veracity of the reports. On-Site Inspections will serve this need as well as providing a first hand evaluation of the organization. Comparison of progress reports to financial statements can also serve as a spot check. This technique will also help identifying potential cost overruns in time for corrective action. To evaluate performance using the above techniques, benchmarks are needed to determine what results are good or bad. (For example, is the registration of 30, 000 new Republicans in Orange County, California good or bad performance Because of the wide diversity between states and the various campaign programs, these benchmarks must be tailored to the individual circumstances. Therefore, we will piggyback on Bob Marik's planning effort by establishing operational objectives for the state field operations, voter bloc activities and campaign support programs. These objectives will be tailored to the individual circumstances and serve as specific benchmarks for evaluating subsequent performance. To establish this management audit function will require appointing a campaign controller and some-staff assistance in the state organizations. Their responsibility will be to track progress against plan and identify problem areas for the line managers. Naturally, the management audit system will focus on key states and programs. Also, recognizing the limited availability of staff time and difficulty of obtaining full cooperation, the reporting will be flexible. There is general agreement on the above points between the Campaign Services Organization, the Campaign Field Organization and me. However, there are several issues yet to be resolved: (1) How will the control organization work with the various line organizations ? (2) How will the operations control effort fit with the financial control effort? (3) What types and frequency of reporting can the states most easily and efficiently handle ? (4) What type reports will be the most useful to you ? (5) What staff commitment is needed to operate the management audit system and what are the associated costs? These issues can best be resolved under operating conditions. Conse- quently, the next section suggests steps to test the proposed manage- ment audit procedures. NEXT STEPS The Campaign Services Organization, the Campaign Field Organization and I recommend two steps be taken to test the concepts and complete the design of the system: Step One: As we discussed, an Operations Controller should be established at the Committee. He would be responsible for completing the development of the control system, for installing it, and for operating it. You are planning to interview Jerry Jones for the position. Step Two: Our control concepts should be tested in the California Pilmary. Time purpose in this invi would we is resolve the issues listed above and to develop operating procedures for the general campaign. If this is to be done, the Operations Controller will have to be involved at once in the California Primary planning effort which is already underway. Agree Disagree Assuming you agree to the test, a paper describing in detail the management audit approach will be submitted within one week after the planning for the California Primary has been finalized. mack Elections Administratively Confidential February 29, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: H.R. HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: New Hampshire Youth Coordin Alleged Haldeman Telephone The February 28th news summary refers to a Sunday POST (February 27th) article on the New Hampshire Campaign (attachments at Tab A) The article emphasizes the youth activities for the President. The President's New Hampshire Youth Coordinator, Mike Scully, works for Ken Rietz. Jeb Magruder and Ken Rietz granted Scully authority to talk to the press about the youth activities. Magruder received a "blank" memorandum (orally explained to Magruder as being from the President) that the campaign should win some mock elections (copy attached at Tab B). I have talked with Magruder and Rietz several times about the importance of wimming mock elections. This New Hampshire college mock election was the first that Rietz thought we could win and publicize if there were an all out effort (memorandum attached at Tab C regarding the New Hampshire mock election). Rietz personally went to New Hampshire to emphasize to his youth campaigners the importance of this election. On the day of the election I called Magruder and Rietz at 1:30 p.m. to find out how the voting was going. Rietz called his New Hampshire contacts and said he had just had a call from Mr. Haldeman and wanted to know the results. My telephone call to Rietz and Magruder served as the basis of the statement in the newspaper. Rietz and Magruder admit they inappropriately used your name but Eietz felt heneeded the extra "clout" to push his people in New Hampshire. The Attorney General was also quite anxious to receive the results and Magruder called him at 2:30 p.m., one-half hour after the polls closed with the results. The Attorney General referred to the results that evening in a story that was picked up by the POST on February 11. The net result is that I should have insturcted Rietz more carefully never to use your name for "clout". Rietz and Magruder and I talked about this on Sunday when the POST story appeared. -2- The mock election at Dartmouth, scheduled for February 28, was cancelled because the President would have lost. He would have lost because the Muskie students are in a very rough battle with the McGovern students over fraudulent polls. The result of this battle would have been maximum turmoil Turnout and no assurance that the President would win. GS: Im The following is the missing page 6 of China News Summary No. 28: Wires, Saturday pm and early Sunday D.C. papers and Saturday night specials: When Muskie got to the Newsweek piece reprinted by the Union Leader on Mrs. Muskie's dirty jokes, smoking and drinking remarks, he broke down and wept.

He says his peace proposal -- set date for end of all US actions -- hasn't been made. He says RN's wasn't new and had been rejected before. Muskie feels Saigon should start acting as if there could be an end to US aid -- that is US public's attitude. The interview closes with Muskie saying he doesn't have a formula to handle the backgrounder controversy. He could have answered similarly on questions on busing, the economy, and disclosure of contributors. Of interest is his denial of "Trust Muskie" slogan. Credibility is an issue -- but "I don't really think that as a man I'm more trustworthy than other men. #### N.H. Drive Kepthoung For Absent President As a result. he said.

COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. NW February 3, 1972 WASHINGTON D C 20006 (202) 333-0920 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL There has been increased interest expressed in mock elections and we have been very carefully exploring the prospects of conducting some in Florida and New Hampshire during the month of February and early March. All of these mock elections will appear to be non-partisan although the Young Voters for the President Committee, under the direction of Ken Rietz, will exercise as much control as possible. The following is a list of those in which we are currently involved. NEW HAMPSHIRE New Hampshire College - February 10. This major New Hampshire college, located in Manchester, has an enrollment of 900. The mock election, suggested by the Young Voters for the President, is sponsored by the student government and will be conducted by the student government secretary - who is pro-Nixon. We have a strong group of supporters on campus. Congressman Kemp will make an appearance on campus the 4th of February, and Bill Ruckelshaus will make an appearance the day before the mock election. The following ten candidates will appear on the ballot, and students will be asked to select one: President Nixon, McCloskey, Ashbrook, Muskie, McGovern, Yorty, Hartke, Humphrey, Lindsay and Jackson. Two hundred students are expected to vote, and precautions will be taken to prevent students from voting more than once. The results will be available immediately for a press release to be written by our New Hampshire people and to be issued by the college. CONFIDENTIAL -2- February 3, 1972 New Hampshire Technical Institute - February 15. This institute, located in Concord, has an enrollment of 200. The poll is sponsored by the student government and will be conducted by the student body vice president - who is pro-Nixon. An estimated one hundred students will vote for one of the same ten candidates listed for the New Hampshire College election. Results of the election will be available immediately. Scheduled by the Young Voters for the President Committee, Secretary Volpe has made an appearance on New Hampshire Technical Institute campus. A dorm canvass recently conducted by the Young Voters group indicated that support for the President is especially strong at this school. Rietz feels that the President could receive a majority of the vote. Tentative mock elections in New Hampshire G-JSM -Daniel Webster Junior College and Aeronautical Institute - 22 February -Dartmouth - -Plymouth State - 24 February College 28 February This the ough are that will matter- will - what are we High School Mock Elections - New Hampshire. We are exploring the possibility of high school mock elections, especially of one doing at Phillips Exeter Academy. There is, however, some difficulty re in controlling these elections since voting is mandatory rather than optional at most high schools and we need exactly the right situation. Kearsarge High School at Sumner has scheduled a mock convention on February 24-26, with the voting on the 26th, and we are making every effort to see that the results are favorable. FLORIDA Florida College Student Primary - March 7. "Project 7th of March" is a student primary to be held on 37 campuses representing 80% of the college students in Florida. A reproduction of the actual Florida primary ballot will be used. Only college students who are registered Florida voters will be eligible to vote and they will vote only in the primary of their party affiliation. We are obtaining a list of the participating schools, complete with sponsoring organizations and school project coordinators. The sponsoring organization on most campuses is the student government. The results, both collective and for individual campuses, will be announced at a press conference on March 8. JEB S. MAGRUDER COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE N.W WASHINGTON. D C 20005 (202) 333.0920 January 5, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBJECT: Program for Campus Polls Several questions have been raised regarding campus polls and mock elections. As noted in the initial youth report submitted by Ken Rietz, we plan to be very active in that area. Rietz has hired George Gorton who conducted winning campus polls for Senator Buckley in '68, and Gorton is now building the necessary campus organizations. As in other aspects of the campaign, these polls will be handled on a state by state basis starting in the initial primary states. The schools where possible polls will be run in the first primary states are: New Hampshire We will run mock elections at Plymouth State, New Hampshire College and St. Anselems. We should do very well at Plymouth State and New Hampshire College because of our good organizations there and the moderate atmosphere of the school. St. Anselems looks promising but may have to be changed to a preference poll if more progress is not made. We will run a preference poll at Dartmouth. The student government at the University of New Hampshire has already pre-empted us with its periodic dorm surveys. We will make every effort to come out on top of them. All elections are scheduled for February. -2- Florida The following schools look most promising for mock elections: Florida Technological University University of Miami Valencia College Florida State University should be good for a preference poll. These are all large name schools, reasonably moderate with either good YR or good Nixon clubs.

We need to try to develop an effort here on both counts, particularly going for some high school support in New Hampshire so we don't get all negative stories. It in ridiculous to let the McCloskey people get the kind of story they got out of the one high school poll which was obviously a heavily loaded operation. Perhaps we should try one high school in New Hampshire and maybe one college to test operations since the overall effort has sere re- suits today. See If we can't generate out of each one of these a major effort and If that effort in productive, get several other schools doing the same thing and get some polls out on them. On a different subject, we now need to see that there is a maximum interest developed in the Democratic primary and try to get all the news media focusing there instead of on the Republicans. One line we should be using is "because of the lack of significant competition in the Republican primaries, we don't expect any large vote turn out".

As we have discussed many times, we are under constant pressure to develop an appropriate poll supporting the President. I assume you will cover this with Ken Reitz, and when you submit a report (if that is planned) to the Attorney General I will rush the copy in to Mr. Haldeman. Another matter that you may want to cover with Ken Reitz is the fact that the 19 year old mayor from Newcomerston who had indicated moderate to conservative leanings at various media interviews is now a delegate for Muskie.

C 20006 February 17, 1972 (202) 333-0920 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUBJECT: Mailing to Independents in New Hampshire When the direct mail plan for New Hampshire was presented to you several weeks ago, it included two mailings to Independent voters. This was consistent with the recommendations of the Strategy Group, who felt that we should go after every possible voter in that pri- mary. (Independents can choose to take either a Republican or a Democratic ballot in the New Hampshire Primary.) Work is in process to develop the mailing list of Independents, and the computer letters have been scheduled for production on Friday, February 18th. We now feel that such a mailing may be counter-productive, because a high proportion of Independents tend to behave like Democrats, and their sympathies will not be with the President (See Tab A). As the Democratic race has developed, there is almost no chance that Muskie will be defeated, and little chance that he will be seriously hurt by a poor showing. The way a Democratic-leaning Independent would have the greatest impact is to vote for McCloskey and thereby weaken and embarrass the President. There is no doubt that McCloskey will go to great lengths to point this out as he enters the home- stretch of the campaign. Our direct mail is not likely to change the minds of these Independents, but only further draw their attention away from the Democratic Primary and toward the Republican costest. It may well serve as a get-out-the- vote program for McCloskey. Recommendation That no mailings be sent to Independent households in New Hampshire during the Primary Campaign.

Allan Walker, Jr.-Executive Director Mr. & Mrs. Herbert Towle Concord Road Rfd 1 Belmont, NH 03220 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Towle: On March 7th the results of our primary will be flashed across America and transmitted to the world. This is our opportunity to show the nation our support for President Nixon. And he has earned it. It was four years ago that the strong backing we gave Richard Nixon started him on the way to the Presidency. He has not failed US. His record is one of courage and action as the enclosed brochure so aptly points out. Now once again he needs our help. Let us demonstrate this to our fellow Americans by enthusi- astically supporting him, and casting the first votes to re- elect the President on March 7th. Sincerely, lane Anvinall LD:jem Lane Dwinell NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT New Hampshire Highway Hotel Concord, New Hampshire 03301 PRESIDENT A record of courage and action: Vietnam: The President has laid the foundations for a lasting peace in Southeast Asia by preparing the South Vietnamese to resist aggression and determine their own future. By years end, he had cut the number of American troops to one-quarter of what it was when he took office. The Economy: When President Nixon took office inflation was raging. Americans were receiving higher wages, but these were being consumed by a rate of inflation with little parallel in modern American history. The President took bold economic steps, including a 90 day freeze on wages and prices, and a comprehensive system of anti-inflation controls. Major tax changes were proposed and enacted. An historic agreement was reached on a realignment of currency rates. These courageous actions to hold the line on prices, create new jobs and improve the competitive position for business and workers in foreign markets, will benefit all Americans. Welfare Reform: He has proposed sweeping changes in the present welfare system to provide training and work incentives, to prevent the break-up of families, and ultimately to relieve the growing burden on the taxpayers. The Environment: President Nixon has created the Environmental Protection Agency to coordinate his tough new Federal programs to upgrade air and water quality, restrict misuse of harmful pesticides, reduce the problem of solid waste disposal, and administer the new standards to climatic radiation and noise pollution. Young Americans: He has moved toward the goal of an All-Volunteer Army and has overhauled the Selective Service System to eliminate inequities. He supported and signed the law giving the vote to 18-year olds. Older Americans: The President has developed a comprehensive strategy for meeting the needs of the Nation's elderly, including a one third increase in Social Security benefits, programs to enable more of the elderly to live in their own homes, improved health and nursing home care, and increases in employment and volunteer service opportunities. Revenue Sharing: He has proposed that the flow of power away from locally elected officials to the Washington bureaucracy be reversed through the sharing of Federal tax revenues with state and local governments. Health Care: President Nixon has provided far- reaching programs to make health care available to every American and has pledged his administration to an all out effort to eliminate cancer and sickle cell anemia. Drugs: He has moved forcefully to curb narcotics by greatly expanding the law enforcement manpower dedicated to stopping the traffic, and negotiating the end of opium production in Turkey. He has created a White House Special Action Office to develop and coordinate a national drug rehabilitation program. Foreign Policy: The President has taken bold initiatives in world affairs in his quest for a full generation of peace. He has ended crisis diplomacy and opened negotiations to limit nuclear weapons. By implementing the principles of the Nixon Doctrine, he has fostered more self-reliance among our allies. HE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Your decision was to authorize the first mailing and hold as a contingency a tele- gram-letter for getting out the vote later in the campaign. The first mailing has been implemented and is now being received by the voters. In order to assure sufficient lead time to accomplish the telegram-letter mailing if authorized, a decision is needed from you at this time. We feel that in the absence of most other important campaign activities, a second letter would be influential in reinforcing the appeal to get out and vote for the President. It would be a good investment to limit the percentage of the vote which Ashbrook would receive if we can thereby cut off his supply of funds and keep him out of subsequent primaries. Recommendation That you authorize the mailing of a get-out-the-vote telegram- letter to Florida Republicans shortly before the election on March 14th. The projected cost is $50,000.

COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. NW WASHINGTON. D C 20006 (202) 333-0920 February 16, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER SUBJECT: Proposed Rally in Florida on March 9, 1972 It has been recommended that several administrative spokesmen, celebrities and athletes be scheduled to appear in Florida in the afternoon and evening of March 9, 1972. The rationale for this is (a) it would reflect broad-based support for the President, (b) it would be a grand finale to a campaign in which the candidate did not appear, (c) it would sustain the enthusiasm generated by the President's trip to China, and (d) it would be structured to weaken the backing Ashbrook has in Florida. If the event is approved, it would be directed by the Spokesmen Resources Division. 1. Program. We think that the major rally should be held in the evening in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. The Miami Municipal Auditorium (capacity: 3,000) can be secured. Congressman Ashbrook has more support in this area than in any other area of the State, and a major rally in this area would affect his strength. (It has been reported to us that the GOP leadership in Dade County is supporting Ashbrook and that they are drafting a letter criticizing Tommy Thomas for involving himself in a partisan way in the primary.) 2. Principal Participants. We propose that the following people participate. Governor Reagan has reserved March 9 on his schedule. The Governor would agree to be the keynote speaker. Memorandum for the Attorney General February 16, 1972 Page Two We think that Senator Gurney, Bill Cramer and the Florida Republican Congressmen (Young, Frey and Burke) should participate. One possibility would be to have Congressman Devine of Ohio read a letter at the evening rally endorsing the President and signed by the Ohio delegation. We would secure Jackie Gleason as the master of cere- monies. We also think that Clint Eastwood (movies), Frank Borman, Chad Everett (T.V.), Bob Griese (Miami Dolphins), and Nick Buoniconti (Miami Dolphins) should be invited. We have discussed the possibility of inviting a Vietnam veteran with a Congressional Medal of Honor. 3. News Releases. The proposal is now confidential. It has been suggested that, as in the case of the New Hampshire rally, the event should be made public at the earliest oppor- tunity. 4. Event Timing. The evening rally should be scheduled for 8:00 p.m. 5. Transportation. We have requested American, Eastern and TWA to submit bids to us for a charter aircraft. Approx- imately 80 persons will be traveling from Washington, D. C. to the rally. With your approval, we will proceed to organize this event. APPROVE DISAPPROVE COMMENTS HERBERT L.

JEB S. MAGRUDER Attachment CONFIDENTIAL FYI COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM February 21, 1972 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: DR. ROBERT MARIK FROM: ROBERT MORGAN SUBJECT: New Hampshire Mailing Responses Volunteers and Contributors The report summarizing responses for the week ending February 18 is attached as Tab A. To date we received a total of 826 responses of which 222 were volunteers and 625 were contributors resulting in $5,643 with an average contribution of $9.00. The trend during the last week shows an increase in average contribution. This phenomenon should be followed. Two charts are attached as Tab B and C. Tab B: Tab B, which shows the cumulative response, presently indicates that the volunteer responses have tapered off whereas the contributions are tapering off at a slower rate. If the overall trend con- tinues, our total response will be slightly over 1 percent. Tab C: Tab C, which shows the daily response, indicates a trimodal response curve vis-a-vis a single peaked bell shape curve that would normally be expected. The largest response occurred 9 days after the mailing was sent out. Looking at it another way, once the responses started to CODE in, the fourth working day received the largest number of responses. Then we peaked again two working days later and peaked again four working days later. This daily response curve clearly shows the leveling of volunteers as well as contributions. The objective of the first New Hampshire mailing was to create an awareness and ask for support of the President by getting a large turnout in the New Hampshire primary. As a by-product of this mailing, the contributions to date paid for 36.5 percent of the first mailing. This would not be good for a fund raising effort but could become an important aspect in future budget allocations. Attachments CC: Mr. Harry Flemming Mr. Jeb S.

MALEK SUBJECT: Lawyers Committee for the Re-election of the President Now that we have established a means by which to coordinate our vari- ous voter bloc groups, we feel it is time to move ahead with another one, namely, the lawyers committee. The proposal for the lawyers committee was submitted with the origi- nal Citizens memorandum which you approved. We have waited until now, however, to move forward with the lawyers group because it did not seem desirable to have another horizontal operation before Malek comes on board to coordinate these activities. The original paper that was submitted to you is attached at Tab A. It was prepared based on input from the three persons we propose to head the lawyers operation and also Thomas W. Evans, John Dean, Harry Dent, and myself. To coordinate this new committee, we propose that George W. Webster, a prominent Washington attorney, serve as one of the three "vice chair- men." Assisting him would be Richard W. Kiefer of Baltimore, a Duke law school classmate of the President's, and John E. Robson, of Chicago, a close friend of Don Rumsfeld who served as Undersecretary of Transpor- tation in the last Administration. Webster and Robson are Republicans; Kiefer is a "Nixon Democrat," and totally loyal to the President. Webster and Kiefer put together a similar effort in 1968. Although it did not get underway until after the Miami convention, it was the most successful and professionally run of the various Citizens groups. Although these three men would direct the operation, Webster would have the responsibility for its overall direction since he is based in Wash- ington. He would run it from his law offices, without compensation, although we would provide clerical and supportive services from our headquarters. Later, we would probably need a young lawyer at the Com- mittee as Webster's staff man. CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL -2- Malek, Magruder, Evans, Dean, Dent, and I all agree that Webster is the right person for this job. Later, a "name" chairman would be selected as the "out front" National Chairman, but this would not be necessary for several months. Webster's biography is attached at Tab B. The initial job of the lawyers committee would be to select lawyers' state chairmen in conjunction with the general Nixon state chairmen. The way in which this would be done is described by Robson at Tab C. Everyone understands that the Nixon state chairman would have the final word in his state, that a state lawyers committee will be de- signed to be supportive of the state campaign. The lawyers would primarily focus on carrying the message of the Pres- ident's positive accomplishments in the legal area (e.g. crime and drugs). They would also carry out special projects, many of which are described in the attachments. Already, some of our key lawyers are informally working on the first project which is to organize support for Dick Kleindienst's nomination. While this will not be an official project, there is much that can be done quietly. It is proposed that we begin our lawyers operation along the lines outlined herein. Approve Disapprove Comment It is also proposed that you meet with Webster, Kiefer, Robson, and Malek, so that they may have the benefit of your thinking as to the goals of the lawyers committee. Approve Disapprove Comment ROBERT C. ODLE, JR. Attachments bcc: Mr. H. R. Haldeman CONFIDENTIAL a. to LAWYERS FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL The project should consist of a National Lawyers Committee to under- take the broad national effort, and fifty-one individual state com- mittees to undertake the state and local effort. The national com- mittee would be composed of a chairman, executive director, and other key staff who would be approved by the Attorney General. Within the national committee there would also be a director of state organiza- tion who would be responsible for coordinating the state committees' efforts at the local level. At the outset, it should be made clear to the National Chairman that the operation is to be run by 1701 and that he is not to consider himself a policy maker. At the state level there would be a state chairman, selected by the national committee, who would undertake and coordinate activities at the state and local level. The selection process should not be too difficult since in every state there are a number of good lawyers who would be suitable for the job of chairman. In some instances, lawyers who were state chairmen in the 1968 campaign might be used again, but there should be a careful screening since some of the lawyers in 1968 proved unsatisfactory. Kiefer and Webster have al- ready provided Rob Odle with a list of those attorneys they feel could or should be used again. Suggestions for other prospects could be obtained from numberous other sources, including: a. Members of the President's staff b. Members of the Cabinet C. Justice Department officials d. Republican members of Congress e. National Republican organizations £. State Republican organizations g. Selected members of the bar h. Bar association officials In certain states, such as Pennsylvania, California, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, New York, and Michigan, it will be necessary to have two or more lawyers as co-chairmen due to population concentrations and demographic variances. In states such as New York and California, a metro concept might be employed whereby the state chairman designates key people as metro chairmen to coordinate activities in the various metropolitan areas. The following criteria for selection of the type of state chairmen needed are suggested: -2- (a) well regarded and sufficiently prominent as a successful lawyer within the state so that his name will have some meaning. (b) willing, and more importantly, able to do the job. (c) an effective leader and a good organizer. (d) a loyal supporter of the President and his policies. (e) personable and friendly. (f) not prominently involved in local party politics. (g) not seeking any political or financial reward. Once selected, the state chairmen would be responsible for designating key state organization personnel, such as directors of operations, public relations, and research. This should be done without delay by the chairmen so that they can get underway with recruitment of lawyers within the state. The chairmen should be encouraged to enlist as many lawyers as possible but within reason (in some states fifty to a hun- dred lawyers may not be unreasonable). Careful attention should be paid to selecting a representative sample of lawyers from all locales within the state. Where possible, the chairmen should place special emphasis on obtaining the services of responsible law students, district and county attorneys, and Attorneys or Assistant Attorneys General (where politically and legally feasible). Efforts should also be made to enlist women attorneys. The state committees should be encouraged and stimulated by the national committee, which might entail at least one visit by a national committee member to the state chairmen during the course of the campaign. It might also be good to have a meeting in Washington of all state chairmen some time in late spring of 1972. The mechanics of setting this up and getting the chairmen here should not be too difficult. ACTIVITIES Activities are obviously crucial to the success of the project. Rather than run the gamut of Presidential programs, policies, and issues, com- mittees' activities should focus on areas where they, as lawyers, have peculiar expertise. Their focus should be generally limited to explain- ing and expounding on the many positive achievements in the legal area which the President has made while in office (drug programs, organized -3- crime, corrections reform, welfare reform, law enforcement, etc.) Furthermore, the lawyers committees can play an equally important role in clarifying and diffusing many of the controversial legal issues which have arisen during the Administration (Supreme Court nominations, First Amendment issues, civil rights law enforcement, etc.) To carry the "Message" to the people of the state, the committees should utilize every media approach available. These would include: a. speeches before small gatherings such as local civic, service, and social organizations. b. newspaper advertisements, particularly toward the end of the campaign. C. radio and television advertisements. d. mass mailings to attorneys within the state e. literature distribution. f. direct correspondence with individual clients on a selective basis. Discretion here should be vested in the state chairman, since he is the one most familiar with the local conditions and political climate. In those areas where lawyers have numerous speaking opportunities, they should be encouraged to accept them as a means of getting in a good word for the President and his programs. In those areas where speaking opportunities are infrequent, certain groups should be targeted and speaking engagements arranged. Above all, the spokes- men should concentrate on issues and programs and not personalities. One thing which should be impressed on the lawyers committee chair- men is that they coordinate their activities with the state Repub- lican Chairman and Nixon chairman. Otherwise wasteful duplication and conflicts may develop. In the event of conflict, the state Nixon chairman should have the final word. FUNDING AND MATERIALS While certain funding will be available to the state lawyers committees, they should not be discouraged from discreet solicitation of funds. Fund -4- raising should not be made a major activity, but the lawyers operation should be self-sustaining. On national programs and issues, canned speeches, background information for discussions, form letters, pamphlets, and other literature should be prepared and distributed by the National Committee. This would insure uniformity and offset the expense incurred by the state committees. The state committees should undertake to develop their own background materials and pamphlets relating to local issues to supplement the program, and the lawyers should be prepared to discuss matters of local as well as national concern.

Kiefer Marmet and Webster Hooper, Kiefer, Sachs, 1822 Jefferson Place, N.W. Tabler & Cornell Washington, D.C. 20036 10 Light Street Baltimore, Maryland 21202 Dear George and Dick: This is to record our conversation last Thursday on the Lawyers for Nixon program: 1. We are agreed that the head of Lawyers for Nixon in each state will "report" to the general Nixon campaign chairman for the state. The role of the National Lawyers for Nixon group will be primarily one suppor- tive of the state campaigns. We forsee the national group developing "lawyers" issue papers for distribu- tion through the state apparati, providing form letters and other materials, and serving as a gadfly and over- seer to see that the job gets done. 2. The way to start is by "tracking" the selection of state general campaign chairmen and by getting them to select promptly their Lawyers for Nixon chairman. Our thought is that the appropriate person at the Washington Citizens for Re-election of the President will call or write each state chairman upon his selection and (a) ask him to make a prompt selection of a lawyers committee chairman for his state (in some places suggesting persons), (b) tell him a little about the National Lawyers for Nixon and (c) say that one of the three of us will be contacting him very shortly. We would be advised when contact had been made with the state general chairman and follow up with the Leibman. Williams. Bonnell, Buirdand Minou Mr. George D. Webster and Mr. Richard W. Kiefer February 7, 1972 Page two purpose of getting the state lawyers chairman in place as soon as possible. Each state lawyers' chairman might also serve as a member of the National Lawyers Committee. 3. When a decent number of state Lawyers for Nixon chair- men are selected, we would program a meeting in Washing- ton, brief them, get their ideas and perhaps have them meet with John Mitchell or others. By the time of this meeting we hope the national chairmen of Lawyers for Nixon is in place. The initial task of each state lawyers committee chairman will be to put his state committee together quickly. 4. As reasonably near term activities we considered: (a) A mailing from the National Lawyers Committee to selected lawyers in various states asking them to work with the lawyers committee in their res- pective states; (b) A broad mailing by the State Lawyers Committees chairmen to lawyers in his state (perhaps to the state and city bar association membership). We would furnish a suggested letter which might in- clude -- an "I'll help" card --- a plea for money (c) Tap some bright young lawyers in various places to operate as a standby "green beret" team and under- take special legal research projects or develop legal theories and associated court papers for ballot security actions, etc. Here the state chairmen should be invaluable. (d) Develop the lawyers issues and get them into use- able form for distribution to and through the state committees. (e) See if we can get something started in the law schools. Probably the state committees can carry the ball on this. Leibman, Milliams, Bennett, Baird and Hinow Mr. George D. Webster and Mr. Richard W. Kiefer February 7, 1972 Page Three We all want to get going. This requires that the selection of state general choirmen (over which we have no control) proceed apace. Let me know if this deviates in any material way from our discussions. Sincerely, John Joh B.

Charles W. Sandman, serving notice on the governor and other party standard-bear- ers, says he will decide within the next few weeks whether to oppose Sen. Clifford P. Case in the Republican primary. "I've watched Case sit the fence in four presidential clec- tion years," Sandman told newsmen here Friday. "He's not going to get away with it this time." Sandman, a conservative con- gressman from South Jersey, said "a very reliable organiza- tion" has indicated that Case, who is up for re-election this year after serving three six- year terms in the U.S. Senate, can be beaten.

For the past three presiden- tial campaigns, Sandman charg- ed, Case failed to work for the Republican nominee and "I know that's his game plan for this year." Sandman said his action was taken solely to help Nixon in his attenipt to spend another four years in the White House. He also said he plans to run for re-election to Congress. He said that he briefly has discussed his possible campaign plans with U.S. Attroney Gen- eral John Mitchell, and receiv- ed neither "encouragement nor discouragement." Sandman said he would be able to raise one half million dollars in campaign funds, but he de- clined to list his donors. Case has yet to announce his candidacy. A spokesman said he declined comment on Sand- man's remarks. Turning his attention to his long-time political foe Gov. William T. Cahill, Sandman said the governor's "current romance" with the idea of im- posing an income tax in 1972 would be the "Kiss of Death" for Nixon in New Jersey. "If he insists on an income tax, let him try to sell it during his election year, not the Presi- dent's," Sandman said. "Then it would only be suicide."

JEB S. MAGRUDER CONFIDENTIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. NW WASHINGTON D C 20006 (202) 333-0920 February 7, 1972 Honorable Edmund S. Muskie U. S. Senate Washington, D. C. 20510 Dear Senator Muskie: In your form letter issued early in January, you make this statement: "Richard Nixon is amassing a political war chest of $40 million, with $30 million already in the bank. Most of it has been contributed by powerful special interests. 11 As Chairman of The Committee for the Re-Election of the President, I want to reiterate to you personally what Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans stated in his news conference on February 1: that your statement is an outright lie. For one thing, the Republican campaign fund contains approximately $2 million as Secretary Stans also indicated at his press conference. For another, you speak of powerful special interests, but the fact remains that it is the Republican cause rather than your own, which is consistently supported by the largest number of small contributors. Furthermore, there are no budgets that call for anything near a total fund of $40 million for the campaign. Any further statements by you to this effect can only continue to erode your creditability in the eyes of the voting public, who must be finding it harder and harder to "trust Muskie".

Your letter was received the day he left for his historic trip to the Peoples Republic of China in the pur- suit of peace. The President's immediate schedule after his return has already been committed, and it will be impossible for him to accept your invitation. Also, as you know, the Chief Executive has stated he does not plan to engage in political activity until he is re-nominated by the Republican National Convention in August. I feel certain that the citizens of the primary states understand that the demands on the President's office are such that he must devote his full attention and energy to affairs of state. This fact makes the President all the more grateful for the outstanding support he is receiving by the people of New Hampshire and other primary states.

When he approached me, he already had a list of most major people on the team SO I made the somewhat uni- lateral decision late Friday to allow him to talk to some of them -- specifically, Rita Hauser, Ken Reitz, Clayton Yeutter and others in charge of divisions. He seems to be an honest reporter trying to do an honest job of reporting the gearing up of a campaign, but Jeb felt you should know that I had authorized the short interviews.

JEB S. MAGRUDER Attachment CONFIDENTIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM February 15, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: BOB MARIK FROM: BOB MORGAN M Subject: Florida Presidential Commitment Program This is a brief summary of my activities in Florida from February 8 through the 13th. All of the County Commitment Chairmen have been established and they have been given a presentation on the program including commitment kit samples. A list of the County Commitment Chairmen is attached as TAB A. The three Regional Chairmen also have been established. A list of their names and addresses is attached as TAB B. Maxwell Calloway will be headquartered in Tallahassee and his responsibilities will be the coordination of youth volunteers as well as overall troubleshooter for the program. He will continue to work on the youth development program under the direction of Ken Rietz. Paula Hawkins will assist us in problems as they occur as well as identification of volunteer groups in all counties. I feel confident of the caliber of the County Chairmen except for Pinellas County where the Chairman appears to be rather weak. However, this is compensated by an extremely capable Regional Chairman who is aware of the problem. The only negative aspect of the Florida trip was that the County Commitment Chairmen were not firmly established on Tuesday the 8th when arrived. Instead, meetings had to be set up on the 9th to establish the Chairmen. My presentations were then given on Thursday through Sunday. Overall we had excellent cooperation and the general attitude was positive. On the political side, the only major Ashbrook support that surfaced was in Dade County. Very little mention of Ashbrook was made in the other counties. Aliyse O'Neil, whose husband is with SACA in Washington, and Phyllis Schlafly from Alton, Illinois, are actively stirring up the women who are supporting Ashbrook such as Phyllis Moore who is State Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida and Shirley Spellerberg who is State Committeewoman for Dade County.
