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.

MEMORANDUM FOR RONALD REAGAN REAGAN
FROM LYN NOFZIGER
RE: California Campaign (Week Ending March 18)
1. Organization. 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.

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.

"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.

SUBJECT:
Preliminary Citizens Campaign
Strategy
The purpose of this memorandem is to review my preliminary strategy and
plano for the Citizens/ Voting Moc organizations. General campaign plans
covering each voting bloc 320 being prepared and will be submitted to you
over the next several weeks. I feel it 16 important, however, to have a
unitying strently that binds the individual plans together and provides a
framework for operation.
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY 07 CITIZENS ACTIVITIES

is to increas e enthusism for and interest in the Nixon campaign among

overall State compaign efforts. In many Caseo this will include convassing,
registration, and get-out-tho-voto drives under the direction of the State
Mison Chairman,
Stretegy,
No should set priorities and devote the major part of our re-
sources on vating groups with the greatest pay-off potential. 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.

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).

One additional voting bloc warrants your attention: Catholics, who are
estimated to comprise nearly 30% of the expected voters. 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). Yes, most pollo show Cetholics supporting the President's ennoments.
In past campaigns there his never boon 2. seperate effort to Attract the Catholic
vote no the illinies group usually encomprises it. This your, however, we
may want to mount & distinct Cotholic compaign under andifferent name. My
recommendation is that I study this igue and present a proposal to you if I
feel this group should also Le singled cut for top or secondary priority.

Most of the voting bloc and functional groups will have programs in
all States. However, the degree of emphasis will vary so 30 to concentrate
on the largest voting blocs in each State and on those most apt to be swayed.
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.

they are shown, along with target hiring dated for the remaining 4. at Tab b.
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

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

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN MITCHELL
FROM:
FRED MALEK
SUBJECT:
Campaign Management Audit
You directed me to develop management audit procedures for
evaluating performance and spotting problems throughout the
campaign organization. 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.

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.

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.

interviewee in Outlook's continuing series on candidates.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Tennessee
These are the schools we will use:
Harding College
Dyersburg State
Jackson State
Union University
Lamburth College
We would also like to try East Tennessee State, Memphis State
and a preference poll at the University of Tennessee. Vanderbilt
will undoubtedly do one of its own and we will try to win but
will probably lose.
Wisconsin
In Wisconsin we will have mock elections at Marquette, the
University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh and the University of Wisconsin
at Whitewater. Others may be added.

It in ridiculous to let the McCloskey people get the kind of story they

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.

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. (The projected cost would have been $14,000.)

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.

NEW HAMPSHIRE COMMITTEE FOR
THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
New Hampshire Highway Hotel

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.

SUBJECT: Florida Presidential Commitment Program
The Florida primary direct mail budget you recently approved
did not include the costs for the implementation of the
program. You verbally approved the implementation of the
program for the top ten counties. Based on this, 15,000
completed Presidential Commitment Kits were developed and
shipped to the County Chairmen.
The estimated expenses for the Presidential Commitment
Program are detailed in Tab A.
Recommendation
That you formally approve the budget to implement the
Presidential Commitment Program for Florida as an addendum
to the previously approved direct mail plan.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Get-Out-The-Vote Telegram-Letter to Florida Republicans
In the original presentation of the Florida direct mail plan, three
mailings were proposed to each Republican household. 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.

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.

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.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH: FREDERIC V. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

tered Eastern Airlines DC9 with 88 seats. (On
board will be Secretary Morton, Senator Gurney,
Congressmen and other participating principals,
their staffs, some of the participating celeb-
rities, and some of the Committee staff.)
2:15 pm
Arrive in Miami and proceed to the Sheraton-
Four Ambassadors Hotel.
3:30 pm

arrived directly from California and, along with
other principals, be available to the press.

Mr. and Mrs. Chad Everett, and Debbie Shelton. "The World's
Greatest Jazz Band" will provide the music.
We are also working to procure a male and female vocalist and
some professional athletes.
Jack and Miriam Meyers, who are producing and directing the
New Hampshire Rally, will also produce and direct the Florida

Our initial draft of a proposed budget is attached. This budget
includes all expenses, as we anticipate them now, except the
transportation expenses for Governor Reagan and his staff.

we are already getting some beneficial results from the course
of action I outlined to you by letter February 3rd.
Clearly as a result of my challenge Friday, Senator
Case has given an initial indication of support for your re-
election. Perhaps he doesn't want me to run against him.
The other news clippings indicate how the major media
in my District are handling the situation. Elsewhere in the
State, coverage has been extensive and mostly favorable.
I will continue to keep you advised on developments
and am at your service. With warmest regards, I remain

Next Few Weeks
CHERRY HILL (UPI) -
Rep. 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. He declined to

which would lead "Lo show his

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-

it would only be suicide."

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".
Very truly yours,
Jhancis L.Dale

It is a young, well-balanced group. If this list meets with your approval
I would appreciate your endorsing the group by letter to the Secretary of
State, State of California.

Dear Mr. President:
Noting your plans to be back in the United States about
March 1st, I would like to extend an invitation to a
debate here in New Hampshire upon your return.
If your party found it convenient to land at Pease Air
Force Base here in New Hampshire, I am sure that arrangements
could be made to televise the debate to the Republican
and Independent voters in New Hampshire who will be going
to the polls on March 7th.
Respectfully,

Dear Congressman McCloskey:
This acknowledges your February 15th invitation to the President to
debate in New Hampshire. 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.
With cordial regard,
Sincerely,
Francis X.Xale

I spoke today with Gib Crockett, who drew the cartoon

The Star has some sort of system where all cartoons

SUBJECT: Interviews with Wall Street Journal
James Gannon, the Wall Street Journal's new man on the
political beat, is planning an article on our campaign.
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.

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.

Presidential Filing For
North Carolina Primary
Attached is a draft letter for the President's signature
accepting the nomination by the State Board of Elections
of North Carolina as a candidate in the North Carolina
Republican Primary.
This letter along with the executed Notice of Candidacy
and a check for $1,000 must be filed with the State Board
of Elections in Raleigh on Monday, March 6. It is my
understanding that the original of the Notice of Candidacy
is being held by Noble Mellencamp. The check for $1,000
is with Harry Flemming.
Charles Jonas, the Nixon chairman in North Carolina, would
like to hand deliver these materials to the State Board
of Elections on Monday and make a news story with the deliver-
ance.
It is recommended, therefore, that after the President signs
the cover letter and executes the Notice of Candidacy that
they be returned to Harry Flemming. Harry will deliver the
letter, the notice, and the check to Mr. Jonas' representative
on Friday who will, in turn, fly it to Raleigh. Mr. Jonas
will then hand carry it to the Board of Elections on Monday
at 2:00 pm.
