MEMORANDUM FOR RONALD BEAGAN
FROM LYN NOFZIGER
RE: California Campaign (Week Ending April 1)
Finances. Last Thursday we did not have enough money to meet payroll
and pay bills. After I complained, money allegedly was sent and a method
allegedly has been set up to get money out here regularly. I hope so.
It is ridiculous to try to run a campaign in the biggest, most diverse
state on peanuts, especially when the money is available. I do not know
what Stans is thinking.
I sent you a separate memo about the national effort to raise money in
amounts of under $100 in California. I strongly urge that you attempt
to put a halt to this. National cannot have it both ways--telling us we
have to support the campaign in the counties with these small amounts and
then competing with us for them.
Organization. Telephone Banks. Nancy Bradaas from national was here
three days, and we had good meetings with representatives from our staff
and the four regions. We now have a state telephone chairman, Arthur
Groesbeck, who formerly ran campaigns in Kansas. We will have nine phone
banks for the primary as training centers and pilot projects. Elsa Sand-
strom will find the volunteers to man them. These will be joint ventures
with the regions and the state headquarters will control them. We are
on schedule here.
Judge Paonessa, (ret.), has now agreed to be our state-wide senior citizens
chairman. We will have meetings next week with people from national and
the RNC in this area.
We are having some problems in the youth area. However, by the time you
get this, they will have been straightened out or some heads will have
rolled.
In the black area we have picked Southern California co-chairmen--Wendell
Handy and Richard Allen. We have asked Jim Woods to head a Southern
California steering committee. Meetings are scheduled this week to pick
county, area and special groups chairmen for the black community.
We are in the process of picking area chairmen for the Mexican-Americans.
This should be complete early in the week.
Headquarters opening is on shcedule. April 14 is the day.
2
Selection of county chairmen proceeds. McCandless has all but Riverside
and may have that at this writing. Packard has all but Contra Costa and
Alameda and expects those next week. Banowsky has L.A. broken into
14 regions. About nine chairmen have been picked. Remainder scheduled
next week. Monagan has about 15 out of 42, including the big counties.
He expects to have chairmen in all of his 42 counties. Vic Andrews in
Orange County is really moving now. I am encouraged.
Registration. Proceeding well in some areas, not so well in others. I
will have a separate report for you next week. Trouble spots and San
Diego where ADM. Gehres is a hang up and L.A. which we are going to have
to take over as soon as Banowsky has his chairmen picked.
We are still handicapped by lack of material from national, compounded
by our own lack of funds.

MEMORANDUM FOR RONALD REAGAN
FROM LYN NOFZIGER Rn
RE: California Campaign (Week Ending 15 April 1972)
Headquarters opening was most successful. Only a very few demonstrators
who quickly went away. Good coverage in the papers and on TV. However,
Tom Brokaw on NBC noted that Finch is not taking an active role in Cali-
fornia and blamed it onto differences between him and Reagan-Nofziger.
I reported to you in person on Gordon's and my trip to Washington. I think
all went well.
The basic campaign organization is now about put together. We met with
the Southern California county chairmen last Thursday night--McCandless'
chairmen and the 14 area chairmen Banowsky has picked. I, frankly, am
pleased at the general quality. Hopefully, today's meeting (Monday,
17 April) with the finance people will charify how they can raise money.
The confusion over this has been less than helpful, to say the least.
John Mitchell, by the way, has asked for county budgets, and I have relayed
the request to the regional chairmen, stressing the urgency of it. Tele-
phone bank meetings were held north and south on Saturday, and this program
appears to be getting off to a good start. Our Spanish-speaking steering
committee met Friday, and our organizational structure is complete in this
area. We are attempting to work out money problems with the Hispanic
Finance Committee but, aside from this, are ready to begin rolling in the
Spanish-speaking community.
Registration for the primary wound up last Thursday. We will have results
this week. They will not be good, but I think at least we are getting a
handle on it. I will meet with the Assembly district precinct chairmen of
Los Angeles County on the 27th. In the meantime we have told our LA County
chairmen that we are going to be running registration out of many of their
headquarters and that it is essential to get these opened now. Once again,
their problem has been not knowing how they could raise funds for opening
headquarters.
Next Saturday members of our staff will meet with Northern California chair-
men in San Francisco, both Monagan's and Packard's. This will see us with
a full show on the road throughout California.

MEMORANDUM FOR RONALD REAGAN
FROM LYN NOFZIGER on
RE: California Campaign (Week Ending 22 April 1972)
Phone banks have been set up in the nine test areas on schedule. Work be-
gins this week on finding volunteers for this project. It is on schedule.
The direct mail program from national has been agreed on and at this
moment is on schedule. This will involve the sending of 800,000 letters.
The purpose is to find volunteers, primarily at the precinct level.
Members of the state staff met with about 100 chairmen and other volunteers
from Northern California Saturday, 22 April, to outline what is being done
for them and what is expected from them.
Headquarters are beginning to open around the state, including in Orange,
San Diego and Sacramento Counties. All four regions now have offices opened.
Demonstrators marched on this office Saturday and broke the window in a
door to the foyer. There were no injuries, and police responded immediately.
We decided to keep the incident as quiet as possible so as not to encourage
future demonstrations.
We have had a rash of staff from 1701 out here. Without exception they
have been cooperative and helpful.
Bruce Nestande and I meet with Los Angeles County precinct chairmen on
registration Thursday night. If their cooperation is as poor as their
results, it means we will indeed be doing most of the registration effort
in Los Angeles County. In this regard Bruce has developed a plan that
calls for direct help from you. A copy is enclosed.
We are developing forms for weekly reports in our main areas: registra-
tion, organization, communications, speakers bureau that will enable you
to tell easily just where we are and what progress we are making.
This memo is rather short, but I believe we are on track. Future memos
will include specific reports.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN MITCHELL

For your information I am attaching the
Democratic National Committee release on
criminal justice.
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Lawrence F. O'Brien, Chairman
news
OFFICE of COMMUNICATIONS
John G. Stewart, Director
Joseph E. Mohbat, Press Secretary

FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY AMs
APRIL 8, 1972
DNC-72-27
DEMOCRATIC PLANNING GROUP ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE RELEASES REPORT;
FIRST IN SERIES OF REPORTS FOR PLATFORM COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, April 7 -- The first in a series of issues papers
prepared by committees and planning groups of the Democratic Policy
Council for consideration by the 1972 Platform Committee was released
today by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien.
"Under the new convention procedures recommended by the
O'Hara Commission and adopted by the Democratic National Committee, the
Platform Committee members are to receive documents outlining issues and
alternative positions to the policies of the Nixon Administration, O'Brien
said.
"The task of preparing these materials was, at my suggestion,
assumed by the Democratic Policy Council. For the past year, the Policy
Council, its committees and planning groups have held numerous public
hearings and meetings in all sections of the country. The results of
these sessions are contained in reports that will be released in the
coming weeks," O'Brien said.
O'Brien emphasized that the views and recommendations
contained in each paper are those of the members of the committee or
planning group.
"We do not presume to speak for anyone in the Democratic
Party other than those who directly had a role in the preparation of
these reports. But, by the same token, we are confident that these
views will be afforded the most serious consideration by the Platform
Committee members in writing the 1972 Democratic Platform," O'Brien said.
The first report was prepared by the planning group on
criminal justice under the chairmanship of Senator Harold Hughes of Iowa
and the vice-chairmanship of Rep. Claude Pepper of Florida. On the basis
of public hearings held in Washington on October 26 and 27, 1971, the
planning group called for an "end to temporizing, tinkering and
face-lifting efforts to reform the criminal justice system". The planning
group suggested "greater federal assistance to develop more professional
law enforcement forces not merely by buying police equipment, but by
supporting police efforts to involve the citizenry in controlling crime
to support those educational and training efforts. (to) develop
greater skills in dealing with the human dimensions of crime, conflict
and disorder."

(202) 333-8750 night: 333-0161
-2-
Pointing to the high incidence of crime among 16-year-olds,
the planning group also recommended earlier diagnosis of the attitudes
and behavior that lead to juvenile delinquency; making incarceration of
juveniles the remedy of last resort instead of equating the detention
of juveniles until age 21 with solving their problems.
Drug abuse -- civilian and military -- must be met with a national
commitment to deal with the problem as it exists; and, according to the
planning group, this means recognizing that drug abuse and alcoholism
are illnesses medically treatable, not criminally punishable.
Describing the correctional institutions in America as over-
crowded, understaffed, and run-down human warehouses that embitter rather
than rehabilitate, the planning group urged a fundamental rethinking
and restructuring of the existing correctional system.

REFORM OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Harold E. Hughes, Chairman
Claude D. Pepper, Vice Chairman
The planning group on reform of the criminal justice system held
a public hearing on October 26 and 27, 1971 in Washington, D. C. The
two-day session brought together an unusual panel of experts -- lawyers,
recovered addicts, law enforcement officers, physicians, current and
former prison inmates, a former U. S. attorney general, psychiatrists, a
mayor of a major metropolitan city, prison wardens, and U. S. Congressmen --
to face the issue of long-overdue fundamental reforms in the American
criminal justice system.
In his opening remarks, Senator Harold Hughes (D-Iowa) called for
an end to "temporizing, tinkering and face-lifting" efforts to reform the
criminal justice system. Hughes asked:
"To what extent do the notions of retribution that have conditioned
our system of crime and punishment since the Hammurabi Code,
remain justifiable in light of our present understanding of human
behavior? Will we ever make significant progress on the drug
front as long as people equate drug abuse with moral weakness
and criminal inclination?
"Thoughtful citizens throughout the land recognize the imperative
need for major change and reform in the various categories of our
system of law, order, and justice. Innumberable studies have been
commissioned, reports have been filed, and recommendations have
been made. Yet reforms in this top priority area continue to lag.
"It is no secret to any of us that reform in these areas has been
generally half-hearted and piecemeal because of fear of political
reprisal. In view of the tragic failures of the past, it is my con-
viction that the hour of truth has arrived when an honest exposition
of the realities will not be a political liability."
Former U. S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark spoke of the future
without change in attitudes toward crime:
"I think we can reduce crime. Society has no more important
challenge because crime is human conduct and more than any
other activity of people it reflects the moral character of a
nation. It is not a question of police forces against criminal
2
forces; it's a question of people. When you phrase it in terms
of police forces against criminal forces, you are emotionalizing
and dividing and feeding the fear. There are causes of crime
and unless we address ourselves to the causes and seek to
reduce them then we cannot hope to substantially and permanently
prevent or reduce the incidence of crime in America.
PERSPECTIVE
The problem of crime in America is real, immediate and fundamental.
Its costs to the nation -- direct and indirect, tangible and intangible --
are staggering. Nearly three quarters of a million victims of violent
crime in 1970. More than 15,000 murders. Billions of dollars of property loss.
The indirect, intangible costs are even more ominous. A frightened
nation is not a free nation. Its citizens are prisoners, suspicious of the
people they meet, restricted in when they go out and when they return,
threatened even in their own homes. Unless government at all levels can
restore a sense of confidence and security to its people, there is the ever-
present danger that alarm will turn to panic, triggering short-cut remedies
that jeopardize hard-won liberties.
Several general observations are appropriate at the outset:
First, the impact of crime in America cuts across racial, geographic
and economic lines. The highest rates of assault and robbery are found in the
inner cities. The chief victims of crimes of violence in America are the poor --
black and white. But if the slums of America have the highest concentration
of crime, there is no escape in the suburbs or rural areas of the nation. White
crime increased by 9.2% in our cities in 1970, by more than 12% in our
suburban and rural areas.
Second, hard-line rhetoric, pandering to the emotionalism of the
moment is as futile as it is insidious. There has been too much rhetoric,
threats and intimidation and too little commitment to reform. There are no
simple solutions to problems as intractable as crime, drugs and prisons. A
thorough and total revamping of our criminal justice system is necessary to
reverse the present conditions.
Third, solutions must be sought that protect our people without
undermining fundamental liberties. Stop-gap measures such as preventive
detention and "no-knock" entry only serve to aggravate the problems of crime
and drug abuse. The fact that they have been little used is evidence of their
superficial quality as law enforcement tools. The ultimate objective of a
free, less threatening society is not advanced by police-state measures that
substitute one form of tyranny for another.
3
Fourth, the problems of crime and drug abuse cannot be isolated
from the social and economic conditions that give rise to them. Although
this summary deals primarily with the steps that must be taken to alleviate the
costly results of crime and drug abuse, the planning group recognized that
any lasting solution to these problems must first deal with the fundamental
causes of such behavior: poverty, discrimination, inadequate housing,
insufficient jobs, unlivable cities and depressed rural areas, social and
political institutions in upheaval
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The planning group recognized and commended the dedication of the
men and women law enforcement officers who, day in and day out, respond
to the words, "call the cops" and deal firsthand with the human realities of
the victim and the perpetrator of the street crime, the family fight, the drug
overdose victim, the runaway child, the traffic jam and the bar room brawl.
The complexity -- and the danger -- of police work requires a combination
of brains, skill, education, human understanding, courage and commitment
that no other profession demands.
The difficulty and challenge of the police job requires that citizens
and police work together to make the police service as effective as possible,
not only to better deal with the critical national problem of crime, but also
to deal with the complex of other peacekeeping and public service tasks
that we call upon our police to perform.
Faced with the problems presented by the rapidly growing amount of
crime in America, it is easy simply to cry out for more police. While in
many jurisdictions more police are desperately needed, we recognize that
more police alone cannot deal with the problem of crime in its totality. Court
delay, the ineffectiveness of our jails and prisons, the epidemic spread of
narcotic addiction, the frequent unwillingness of citizens to cooperate with
the police and the quality of the police service itself are each important
considerations in developing more effective efforts to reduce crime.
Recommendations
The recommendations that follow concern those actions that should be
taken to improve the effectiveness of the police.
Most importantly we must foster those efforts that actively involve
the citizens with the police in a joint effort to control crime. There should be
more programs in which police and citizens join together to combat crime. We
need more than "community relations" in a public relations sense. We need
4
to engage the citizens in cooperating actively with the police, in helping
the police in auxiliary roles, in taking those simple preventive measures
that discourage crime and in active support of the police men and women
and their leadership.
The upgrading of the police requires that we pay police salaries
that match the difficulty of their jobs and that will attract highly qualified
people into the police service. Educational standards for police must be
raised. As police salaries are raised and citizen support increases, these
standards can be raised and over time can vastly improve the image and
quality of policing in America.
The police can only be fully effective when they genuinely
represent the communities they serve. This means that more minority group
members should be encouraged to enter the police service, that the police
take the initiative in more effectively using women in a variety of law en-
forcement roles, that the technical skills of the computer scientist, the
communications expert, the community relations expert, the training specialist,
the lawyer, the personnel manager and many more be recruited into the
police forces.
We must select as our police leaders those persons who fully
understand the complex job of policing and who are sensitive to the changing
social demands in our communities. Such persons can do much to lead the
police in becoming more responsive to theneeds of minority groups, of young
people and of others, without whose support the police will not be fully
effective in controlling crime. This same kind of strong police leadership
is needed if we are to assure that high level of integrity that this important
public trust requires.
We must provide the police with the technological resources to
do the job. Effective policing requires advanced communications systems,
computers and other facilities, and a system for regional coordination of law
enforcement efforts.
The federal government can play a vital role in assisting state and
local jurisdictions in upgrading police and improving police effectiveness
in controlling crime. Federal funds should be used, not merely to buy
police equipment, but to support police efforts to involve the citizenry in
controlling crime, to bring into the police service new kinds of people and
skills, to support those educational and training efforts that develop greater
technical police skills, greater police management skills and greater skills
in dealing with the human dimension of crime, conflict and disorder.
5
The police are in fact the "front line" in combatting crime. The
Democratic Party must firmly commit itself to supporting all efforts that
will strengthen the capacity of the police to do their job and that will
bring to the police the respect demanded by the importance of their job.
We must continue to work at the local, state and federal levels to translate
that support into dollars and other assistance. Such efforts will result
in more effective crime control in America and in that quality of police
service truly reflective of our basic democratic values.
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Juvenile delinquency statistics, according to former Attorney
General Ramsey Clark, point out where crime first starts and where crime
must first be stopped:
"Nearly the entire increase in arrests for the commission of serious
crimes during the 1960's is accounted for by minors. Youngsters
between eleven and seventeen composing 13 percent of the population
are convicted in over 50 percent of all prosecutions for burglary,
larceny and car theft. Half of all property crime is committed by
people under twenty-one. Of all ages sixteen-year-olds are
arrested most frequently.
"Youth is the time in life when those who live lives of crime take
the road. Four out of five of all felonies are committed by repeaters--
80 percent of all serious crime is committed by people convicted of
crime before. The first crime was committed nearly always as a
teenager. In federal youth centers nearly all prisoners were convicted
of crimes that occurred after the offender dropped out of high school.
Three-fourths came from broken homes.
"Professionals could find 90 percent of the children likely to become
delinquent: those children who have no parents, have been beaten
and abused, are not sent to school regularly, cannot read, or share
a room with four people. We may have to live with the rest; we do
not have to live with most. That we do tells us much about our
character. It means that, knowing we are the ones who create criminals,
we continue. Later, frightened, we seek to control them by force."
Recommendations
0 Prevention. The schools must undertake a new, vital and creative
role in the vanguard of crime prevention in diagnosing behavioral problems and
taking remedial action to insure that children headed for trouble are not forced
out of school, onto the streets and into a life of crime.
6
Treatment. Juveniles who merely run away, play truant, or
disobey a parent must not be relegated to large impersonalized, isolated
training schools to learn how to commit more serious and more violent crimes.
Institutionalization makes more criminals out of juveniles than it unmakes.
The premium on federal funds to states and localities must be on creating
genuine community alternatives to sterile incarceration: juvenile service
bureaus, special remedial education and job training, foster and group
homes, counselling programs run by former juvenile and adult offenders.
Incarceration. There will always remain a small minority of
youthful offenders who are, at the time of adjudication, so dangerous to
themselves and others that they must be institutionalized. However, it is
too often the case that society equates keeping juveniles out of sight until
the age of majority with solving their problems. These youths are the most in
need of concentrated services to change the attitudes and behavior that are
the source of their problems.
Juvenile institutions should never house more than 100 children,
should be built around an individualized treatment plan for each child, and
the course of treatment should be enforceable by law. Today, the understaffed,
brutalizing "holes," "youth centers," and "training schools, into which
our children are now herded for everything from profanity to murder, commit
offenses against these children for which a parent would be prosecuted;
locking them in terrifying isolation; beating them; forcing them into situations
where homosexuality is predictable; crowding them into unsafe, unsanitary
and inhuman facilities; forcing them to associate with older, more experienced,
offenders.
It should be recognized that anti-delinquency programs can never take
the place of good prenatal care and birth control instruction, decent housing,
medical care, a public education system that seeks to retain and help its
children rather than to evict and forget its "deviant offenders,' as well as a
healthy job market providing an economic standard of living that makes life
possible without drugs or crime.
DRUGS
A national commitment must be made to deal with the problem of drugs
as it exists. Commenting on alcoholism and drug addiction, former Attorney
General Clark said:
"You cannot beat heroin out of the bloodstream of an addict and
you cannot cure alcoholism by picking guys up out of the gutter
with broken wine bottles near them and throwing them in 3 tank,
letting them go through a period, releasing them and then doing
the same thing all over again."
7
Recommendations
Definition. The drug problem must be more carefully and clear ly
defined. Heroin addiction, barbiturate and amphetamine abuse, marihuana
use and alcoholism are each different problems and their treatment has been
developed and refined to varying degrees.
Treatment. The failure of this country to respond to the needs of
those persons seeking specific kinds of help -- help already proven to be
efficacious -- is tragic. For example, in New York City there are about
10,000 heroin addicts on a waiting list to enter the city's methadone program.
A waiting list for an addict who wants to enter treatment NOW is not only an
injustice to him but to his community as well. Property stolen by a single
addict in one week may have a value of up to $1,000 -- an amount that would
pay for his treatment with methadone for an entire year.
Rehabilitation. To understand what it is that a drug abuser or
drug dependent individual seeks through treatment, we must first learn that
such an individual is a sick person who should be dealt with as a whole
person. To treat the whole person we must deal with his social needs as
well as his drug dependency. In addition to dispensing medication and
thereby eliminating the immediate needs for drugs, assistance must be provided
to develop alternative life styles so that treatment eliminates the problem,
instead of becoming a part of it.
Law enforcement. While developing new avenues to deal with
drug addiction such as seeking out and closing off sources of abused drugs,
we must nd neglect toinvestigate the potentially new and more dangerous
problems that may be created in the name of a "solution." When law enforce-
ment efforts increase in areas where there are inadequate facilities to treat
addicts seeking help, the net effect is to increase the price of drugs. The
addict who might have entered treatment must now commit more crimes and
possibly more violent crimes to support the new increase in cost of his habit.
Military drug abuse. Special attention must be paid to the extensive
drug abuse within the Armed Services. The full ramifications of this involvement
in terms of local communities previously relatively free of serious drug abuse
will be increasingly felt as the level of American involvement in Southeast Asia
returns more and more young men to the United States with unknown and
unchecked levels of addiction: No careful follow-up has yet been undertaken.
If we are to maintain any credibility in the eyes of our own nation as well as
the world, a serious commitment must be made to care for returning servicemen
addicted to drugs.
8
CORRECTIONS
Few institutions in America are as uniformly condemned and as
consistently ignored as our existing prison system. Prisons represent
a failure of philosophy, theory, concept, technique and execution.
Individuals who commit crimes on the outside becomes criminals on the
inside. Indeed, even the term "corrections" is a misnomer; recidivism
rates run as high as 70 percent.
The impulse to reform must be stimulated not only by the most
elemental principles of humanitarianism but also by calculated self-interest.
"The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons,"
noted Dostoyevsky. Ours are over-crowded, understaffed, and run-down
human warehouses that embitter rather than rehabilitate, alienate rather
than reintegrate, heighten tensions rather than ease them.
Only when we as a nation recognize that our existing system con-
tributes to escalating crime, will we be able to sustain the massive support
necessary to achieve fundamental restructuring. Thus, the first priority of
political parties and candidates for the leadership of this nation must be to
undertake the public education necessary to change prevailing attitudes
about our prisons and the human beings within their walls.
Alternatives to the present correctional policies discussed by the
planning group and witnesses are summarized here briefly.
Sentencing
Pre-sentencing investigative procedures should incorporate
increased probationary services, allowing offenders to remain in the community:
finding and keeping employment, making restitution, supporting their families.
Such an approach would break the patterns for many habitual offenders who
seek refuge behind walls to avoid the responsibilities of daily living.
Mandatory minimum sentences should be abolished to allow the
system sufficient flexibility and intelligence to release a man or woman at
the psychologically proper moment.
Maximum sentences should be standardized and made consistent
in order to reduce a major source of unfairness and bitterness.
Except where absolutely necessary, efforts should be made to
reduce sentence length thus facilitating the supervised release of offenders
before any benefits of incarceration are offset by overly-long imprisonment,
with the accompanying danger of institutional dependency and total alienation
from society as well as identification with the inmate sub-culture.
9
Incarceration
Greater efforts should be made in classifying prisoners for
maximum security prisons. Such facilities should be restricted to those
who are truly dangerous -- estimated at 15 - 20% of all adult offenders --
and not those who are merely outspoken.
The "big house" should be eliminated as we move to a system
predicated on community-based correctional facilities: To the extent that
higher security facilities are required, they should be limited to populations
of no more than 100.
The constitutional and human rights of offenders should be recog-
nized: the right to uncensored outgoing mail; the rights of due process for
in-prison disciplinary actions; the right to decent meals, adequate sanitary
and health facilities; the right to decent wages for in-prison work. To strip
a man of his freedom does not require that we strip him of his dignity.
Realistic therapeutic, education, alcoholism and drug treatment,
vocational and wage-eaming programs should be provided in all correctional
facilities, and, wherever possible, outside of them.
Emergency, educational and work-release furlough programs
should be standard practice with eligibility for such programs based upon
prison conduct and treatment needs.
The greatest emphasis and encouragement should be given to
support of "self-help" programs -- convicts, ex-convicts and the community
each helping the other.
Correctional personnel must be upgraded with higher wages, more
minority group employees in both custodial and rehabilitative jobs, and in-
creased numbers of psychologists, educators, counsellors, diagnosticians
and ex-convict paraprofessionals.
Post-incarceration
Massive after-care services must be provided so that the released
offender is not "pushed out" and dumped on the street without any support.
Present civil disabilities for ex-convicts that erect barriers to their
reintegreation into society should be removed. These include automatic restora-
tion of the right to vote, to hold public office, to obtain drivers' licenses as
well as professional licenses, and to public and private employment. All
registration of ex-offenders should be eliminated.
10
Every stage of the parole process -- the granting of parole,
the period of parole supervision, and the conditions governing that period,
and the termination of parole should be opened to public scrutiny and
thoroughly re-examined with a view toward facilitating rather than
frustrating re-entry into society.
SUMMARY
The focus of the planning group on reform of the criminal justice
system was on the fundamental causes of street crime, drug addiction,
and prisons. Although the planning group recognized that the courts are
a major element of the criminal justice system in addition to law enforce-
ment and corrections, the reform of the courts at all levels of government
is of such a specialized nature that it would require the complete attention
of another planning group to produce authoritative recommendations on
court reform.
In addition, the American Bar Association established a task
force to study in depth the specific steps that could be taken to bring
order out of the chaos currently characterizing many courts. The report
of the Special Committee on Crime Prevention and Control has been
released and the planning group recommends to the members of the
Platform Committee that they give the most serious attention to the
findings of this American Bar Association study.

WASHINGTON
April 10, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
FROM: KEN KHACHIGIAN
On July 8-9, the eve of the Dem National Convention, the
Democrats are taking 18 hours of ABC television time for a
marathon fundraising show. It will run from Saturday evening
to Sunday afternoon and will have all kinds of stars, etc. pleading for
money to save the Democratic party. Estimates of the take run from
$8 - $35 million.
It doesn't take too much guesswork to realize that they will try to
do this by telling the public that Republicans are the party of the rich,
that we must preserve the two-party system, send in a dollar to tell
ITT where to go, etc., ad nauseum.
There's no reason we should get beaten over the head for 18
hours straight. Some of the responsib people ought to be preparing
for this event. For example, we can have our people ready to go on
radio actualities with rebuttals; we can try to make network news;
have the facts ready to show that most Republican contributions are
small, not large and that most Democratic contributions have been
large not small. Anything we can do to slow down the television blitz
would be helpful.
One suggestion. As a precautionary measure, we should have
time purchased for the Republicans on both July 8 and 9 in half hour
segments -- or maybe just on July 9. And if things are going bad for
us, we could go on the air with a blistering rebuttal of what they have
been saying and even ending with an appeal to send in money to the
Republicans. At least we might steal some of their thunder and not
let them off scot-free with clobbering us on the airwaves.
Another idea might be to purchase a half-hour of time immediately
following the Democrats' telethon which features our own heavyweights --
the Veep, Rockefeller, Reagan, et al. -- in a show of support for the
President and calling for Republican unity in the days ahead. We
might be able to pull in a million or two for ourselves.

COUNTDOWN
More now believe
in Demo finale of
Sanford VS. Teddy
By WARREN ROGERS
Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON - With 29 weeks to Election Day and
counting. it is possible now to write a scenario for the Demo-
cratic convention in which the presidential nomination race
narrows to two men - Ted Kennedy and a dark horse named
Terry Sanford.
Convention kingmakers already are talk-
ing about it. They are coming around to the
view that none of the many announced candi-
dates will have enough muscle at Miami Beach
to win, making a compromise inevitable
(COUNTDOWN's forecast for months).
Edmund Muskie is out as frontrunner,
George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey are
scrambling for the load, George Wallace keeps
sending "messages" and all the others are
KENNEDY
pressing. But with a dozen and a half state pri-
maries to go, the pre-convention future appears to hold only
further party bloodletting, no clear-cut winner.
Kennedy would be first choice except for three things: he
doesn't want it this year, his Chappaquiddick vulnerability,
fear of assassination. Casting about for a way out the other
day, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield came up with
two names - Sanford and Reubin Askew.
Kennedy keeps insisting he is not a candidate, but lately
he is taking a new look. He says he is reassessing "issues and
goals" because of concern over Wallace's condidacy. Sanford
is running in the North Carolina primary May 6, which he
should win, and in other primaries to be announced (probably
Oregon and one other). Askew is only mildly interested.
Sanford, as "unknown" as Adlai Stevenson was in 1952,
meets the compromise criterta: His party credentials are in
order, he has demonstrated executive ability, he is a proven
vote-getter. Assuming be wins in North Carolina and gains
elsewhere, he could go into the convention
with 50 to 100 delegate votes; his strategy
then would be too WOO committed delegations
as the expected deadlock holds, and his hope is
that his image as a Southern liberal-to-moder-
ate with contacts, imagination, verve and a
clean record would carry the day.
Sanford, a former North Carolina gover-
nor and now president of Duke University,
also has a touch of romanticism. He was con-
sidered as John Kennedy's vice-presidential
SANFORD
running mate in 1960 and he got back into pal-
ities on a draft - a new Gene McCarthy type of "children's
crusade" through which college students petitioned his cand:-
dacy. The movement has spread around the country (Har-
vard, Yale, Cornell. Vassar. etc.).
For Sanford. it's all or nothing. He told COUNTDOWN:
"I'd miss 1.e president c.1 Duke thin vice dent the
United States, and Pd-rather De unemployed than in the Cabi-
net."

STATEMENT BY FRANCIS L. DALE, CHAIRMAN, COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION
OF THE PRESIDENT
Only one winner has emerged from the Wisconsin primary: Richard
Nixon. Without making a personal appearance there, without spending
substantial money on advertising, without an organized attempt of
any kind to get out the vote, he has received the overwhelming
endorsement of Wisconsin Republicans.
Yet the numerous Democratic candidates suffering from White
House fever spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, spent weeks in
the state, cranked up elaborate campaign organizations -- and still
have not produced a single man whom the people can call a leader.
The message is that Richard Nixon will be re-elected in November.
It comes through loud and clear from Tuesday's election - on top of
his victories in New Hampshire and Florida.

STATEMENT BY U.S. SENATOR BOB DOLE, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
President Nixon has received another enthusiastic endorsement
from Republican primary voters, this time in Wisconsin. This grati-
fying victory is a prelude to an even great victory in the fall
when the President is returned to the White House.
As Chairman of the Republican National Committee, I wonder
where today's results leave the Democrats. Clearly no viable
national candidate has yet emerged from four primary elections,
only a series of regional candidates whose appeal is not broad.
Well, perhaps the real winner in Tuesday's primary -- and in
the previous primaries -- was Senator Edward Kennedy. Although I
can't speak for the Democrats, they must be feeling a growing concern
over the future of their party which seems to grow more splintered
with each primary.
Meanwhile, Senator Kennedy has been lying back and using the
announced candidates as stalking horses, freeing himself to roam the
country without getting into political battles.

STATEMENT BY FRANCIS L. DALE, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
As Senator McGovern so aptly put it last night, the Wisconsin
primary election has given the Democrats a new front runner for the
Presidential nomination. And, as he added, there are disadvantages
to being a front runner. One of them is that people tend to take
everything the frontrunning candidate says seriously.
Yesterday Senator McGovern said that the United States should
not bomb the North Vietnamese troops and tanks which have invaded
South Vietnam.
Senator McGovern's position also is that we should not involve
American group troops, either. Of course, I agree with that. But
if we refused to use our air power, we would be literally abandoning
the South Vietnamese while they are under an overt attack by forces
armed by the Soviet Union.
This position is not only irresponsible, it is unbelievable.
It rests on the odd belief that it would be wrong for American
military aircraft to attack Communist military invaders but it is quite
acceptable for an armed Communist invader to attack unarmed South
Vietnamese civilians.

2-2-2-2
WISCONSIN REACTION
I want to take the new frontrunner seriously. But what kind
of obtuse, upsidedown logic is this?
If Senator McGovern's latest position on the Vietnam conflict
foreshadows the level of thinking he plans to bring to his campaign
in the future, I think the only people who are going to be able
to take him seriously much longer are his friends on the Far Left
whose foreign policy proposals are founded on the assumption that what
the world needs is a few successful Communist invasions.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
HERBERT L. PORTER
DEVAN L. SHUMWAY
S
SUBJECT:
Report on Appearances in Pennsylvania
during the Week of April 16 - 22, 1972
The pace increased markedly this past week on the Pennsylvania
surrogate program and our response to criticism by the Democrats.
We maintained close contact with the Committee for the Re-election
of the President in Philadelphia and developed a schedule of
activities by the opposition. Each morning, we discussed the day's
activities with the Pennsylvania Committee.
The Pennsylvania Committee attempted to track the appearances by
the Democrats. This effort was moderately successful and we
received periodic telephone reports on the Democrats' speeches and
activities. Several working documents are included as Tab A.
The surrogate speaking schedule and media activities for the week
were as follows:
April 16 - Secretary Volpe. The Secretary addressed
the Order of the Sons of Italy in Philadelphia. Mayor
Rizzo also attended the function. The event received
good press coverage. Clippings are included as Tab B.
April 17 - Mrs. Knauer. Mrs. Knauer addressed the
Philadelphia Federal Executive Board and Philadelphia
Federal Business Associations meeting. In addition,
she delivered an address at Our Lady of Angels College
in Glen Riddle. A clipping is included as Tab C.
April 19 - Senator Javits. The Senator delivered the
keynote address at the Philadelphia City GOP dinner. He
also participated in a press conference. The Senator's
appearance received mixed coverage, having criticized the
Vietnam bombing while praising the President generally
and calling for his re-election. The Senator's positive
comments were fed out by our audio operation. Documents
on this are included as Tab D.
- 2 -
April 19 - Mr. Dale. Mr. Dale participated in a very active
media schedule with interviews at various newspapers, radio
and television stations. A statement was prepared by us,
and released under Mr. Dale's name, blasting the Democrats
on Vietnam. His remarks were fed out by our audio operation.
Mr. Dale also attended the Philadelphia City GOP dinner
and visited Mayor Rizzo. Documents on this are included
as Tab E.
April 19 - Senator Cook. The Senator addressed the Johnstown
Republican Dinner. He used a speech insert prepared by
us, criticizing Senator Humphrey's remark that this is a
"labor versus big business" campaign. Senator Humphrey
was criticized for dividing the country while the President
was uniting it. The Pennsylvania Committee and Senator
Cook's office issued press releases on his speeches and
his remarks were fed out by our audio system. Documents
on this are included as Tab F.
April 20 - Secretary Butz. The Secretary delivered the
keynote address at the annual dinner meeting of the Lehi
Dairy Cooperative in Downington. Under Secretary Campbell
addressed the luncheon meeting. Clippings are included as
Tab G.
Mr. Arlen Specter, in his capacity as District Attorney, responded
to Senator Humphrey's attack on Governor Shapp for allegedly using
state employees to help Senator Muskie's campaign. Mr. Specter
urged Senator Humphrey to document his charge so that an investigation
could begin. The story played well and UPI did not refer to Mr.
Specter's role as Chairman of the Pennsylvania Committee for the
Re-election of the President. A copy of this story is included as
Tab H.
Several other local press stories, including Mayor Rizzo's endorsement
of the President, are included as Tab I.
The new audio setup here was a key element in our program. We
serviced Pennsylvania and network stations. We provided Pennsylvania
stations with not only state material but also cuts from elsewhere
as well. This gave us a "presence" for those surrogates who were
not in the state. Tab J.
Senator Brock has agreed to make multiple appearances in Pennsylvania
on our behalf on Monday, April 24, 1972. This will enable us to
- 3 -
respond to any last minute attacks mounted by the Democrats in
the closing days of the primary campaign. The Senator's schedule
includes three television appearances in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton
and a press conference in Harrisburg.

NOTES FROM DOUG PRICE WHO ATTENDED HUMPHREY SPEECH GIVEN AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
There was a general anti-Humphrey mood. Doug feels this was because
the students were against the Vietnam War and because Humphrey is so
associated with it.
There were hecklers, but Humphrey handled himself rather well. In
fact the hecklers seemed to develop a sympathy for him from the
other students.
Humphrey's main fault was that he was not directly answering
questions. His speech was on Human Rights, but the questions
afterward dealt mainly with the Vietnam situation.
In Doug's opinion, the hecklers were either McGovern people or
socialists.

PHILADELPHIA, April 19 - Francis L. Dale, Chairman of the Committee for
the Re-election of the President, released the following statement here
today:
For the past two weeks, the people of Pennsylvania have been subjected
to a crescendo of criticism of their country which has no precedent in
American history. In particular, they have been inundated with irresponsible
rhetoric by three Democratic Senators fighting to one-up each other and
make headlines.
Senator Humphrey, who recently took three different positions in one
week on the invasion of South Vietnam by the Communists from the North,
contributed perhaps the single most irresponsible statement of the campaign
to date when he told the Steelworkers that he is going to wage a "labor versus
big business campaign. 11 That is precisely what the people of Pennsylvania --
and indeed of the country -- do not need: a class war.
Senator Muskie told Pennsylvanians last night that he believes we are
farther away from peace than ever before in Vietnam. Such a knee-jerk panic
is almost expected from the Senator these days. It has not occurred to the
Senator, I am sure, that his steadily escalating calls for the U.S. govern-
ment to abandon the South Vietnamese in the midst of an armed invasion of their
country may have in fact emboldened the Communists. But I am sure it has
(more)
occurred to many Pennsylvanians.
Senator McGovern, the first of this trio to call for appeasement in
Southeast Asia, cannot find it in himself to utter one word against the
North Vietnamese for their invasion. Not one single, solitary word in
condemnation of this murderous blitzkrieg leveled against a people
whose only desire is self-determination.
I believe that the events in Vietnam confirm the President's brilliant
analysis of the situation from the beginning: that a precipitate withdrawal
as advocated by Humphrey, Muskie and McGovern would lead to a mass invasion
of the South. The lack of success which the invasion has produced for the
Communists, in turn, confirms the President's analysis that Vietnamization
would enable the South Vietnamese to take over all ground combat operations
in their country.
I, for one, thank God that we have a President who was able to foresee
the risks of invasion from the North and deliberately retained enough air
power to protect our withdrawing soldiers as well as the civilian population
of South Vietnam and to bargain for our prisoners of war.
But instead of praising the South Vietnamese and the President for
their success, Humphrey, Muskie and McGovern are berating them for it. Their
frustration mounts as the South Vietnamese refuse to cave in. This is a
strange, hard=to-understand position. They should be hailing the success of
Vietnamization; instead they seek to condemn it.
My conclusion from reviewing the performance of this traveling trio of
candidates is that not one of them has demonstrated a fitness for the
Presidency. After four primaries that have left their party in a shambles,
these gentlemen now are making a mockery of the electoral process in
Pennsylvania by spouting halftruths and inuendos. But let me predict that
tactic won't work with the voters of this state next Tuesday or of the
country next fall.

- 6:30 P.M.
JOHNSTOWN, PA. - United States Sepator Marlow Cook (R-Ken.) tonight
attacked Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator Hubert Humphrey for
"destroying the unity that the President is restoring to our society."
In remarks prepared for delivery to a Cambria County Republican
Committee fund raising dinner here tonight, Cook says "Four years ago, when
he couldn't find a proceful desembly to speak to anywhere outside a
military base, then Vice President Emphrey was encouraging Americans to
vote for more of the same. Now he's back doing his very best to destroy
the unity the President is restoring to our society."
"No other conclusions", Cook continues, "can be drawn from the
campaign tactics he's been using here in Fennsylvania during this campaign."
Cook quoting Sumphrey's remarks in meetings with the United
Steelworkers Union in Pittsburgh last week says, "he described his
campaign best himself - 'it 10 a labor versus big business' campaign."
Calling Humphrey's compaign on attempt to "stir up a class war" Cook
describes the Minnesota Senator's tactics as a disservice to this state and
the country. Again taking issue with the Humphrey campaign Cook says
"Senator Humphrey is supposed to be the grand old man of American Liberalism,
and I can tell you that it is not founded on hate and class warfare. It
is founded on concern for human welfare and the belief that reasonable men
can work out their differences in a free society."

"Honest men may disagree on the best methods of attaining a better,
more peaceful and more prosperous society. But I cannot see how attempts
to secure elected office by stirring up suspicion and mistrust will lead
us to that kind of society," Cook says.
"I say this kind of electioneering desecrates the meaning and
spirit of free elections. I deplore it. And I say that this kind of
appeal by its very nature calls into question the qualifications of
a candidate for President," Cook concluded.

"Nixon doesn't pull any punches. to ricod him in the White House," Senator
Cook said.
Johnstown, Pennsylvania Tribune Democrat, April 20, 1972
This appeared under a picture of the Senator with two Republican
party workers.
"Cook Asks "Full Nixon Support"
U. S. Senator Marlow W. Cook, of Kentucky, told more than 600
Republicans in Johnstown Wednesday night that President Nixon
deserved the overwhelming support of Cambria County and of
Pennsylvania.
In doing so the freshman Senator accused the Democrats of in-
consistency in their attacks on\Mr. Nixon and of trying to blame
their war on somebody else.
Robert A. Gleason, County Republican Chairman, estimated the
attendance at the party's annual $25-a-plate fund raising dinner
at 650, making it one of the largest GOP gatherings in recent
years.
Other Party spokesmen, obviously pleased by the capacity crowd,
said: "The enthusiasm shown here means victory - the biggest
victory in the history of the party in November.
(two paragraphs on John Saylor and his Congressional record)
Frank J. Pasquerilla, toastmaster, introduced Senator Cook.
Pointing out that two Democrat presidential candidates,
Senators Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie had been in
Johnstown and were critical of President Nixon, Mr. Pasquerilla
said the Committee to Re-elect the President is sending speakers
around the country to talk about Nixon.
"We must talk about Nixon and what he has done," Mr. Pasquerilla
said. "We know this Nation will feel a lot safer with Nixon in
the White House. "
Senator Cook said he found it difficult to understand some of the
things said here by his colleague ; Senator Humphrey.
As an example, he noted that Humphrey had voted for the price
controls given to President Nixon but termed his program "a hoax
and a sham" in his visit to Johnstown.
"It doesn't make sense for him to take this position,' Senator
Cook said. "I can't understand such inconsistency unless it is
because it is an election year. "
The speaker also referred to the lengthy debate on Vietnam in the
Senate during which Democrats urged an immediate end to the
bombing in the North and an accelerated pullout of all U.S.
forces.
"This was another effort, " he said, "to make their war
somebody elses."
He said the bombing was absolutely essential because of the
invasion of the South by the North Vietnamese.
He said that if the invasion continues, it would jeopardize
U.S. forces still in South Vietnam.
Four years ago, Senator Cook noted, there were 560,000 troops
in Southeast Asia, and President Nixon made a firm commitment
that the number would be reduced to 59,000 by May.
"He hasn't reneged on that promise and I don't expect he will,"
the Senator said.
He also referred to Senator Muskie's charge while in Johnstown
that the war in Vietnam could be ended only by defeating President
Nixon in November.
Senator Cook said that Senator Muskie, when he was heckled by
a group of students, told them: "You wanted us to change our
minds about the war and we did and now you don't like us."
This was an admission, Senator Cook said, that Muskie "changed
his mind for their convenience."
The speaker lauded the Nixon administration for such achievement
as passage of the black lung bill for miners and the extension
of voting rights to millions of young citizens 18, 19 and 20 years
of age.
"Nixon doesn't pull any punches," Senator Cook said. "We need
him in the White House."

AUDIO CUTS - PENNSYLVANIA
VIRGINIA KNAUER, Philadelphia, April 15, 1972
"Critics of President Nixon and his Administration are trying to make
political capital out of the food price increases we experienced earlier
this year. By verbal sniping, by advocating picketing, by urging
people to take to the streets in protest. And all of this at the time
when food prices are being stabilized and actually reduced because of
strong Nixon Administration actions. These same critics offer no
workable, constructive program as an alternative to Administration
policy. They simply criticize.
"Most prices have been stabilized and meat prices have been continually
dropping. The housewife, as she shops in the supermarkets, knows this.
She sees it. In addition, the Cost of Living Council has stepped up
surveillance to make sure that no improper markups are being made on
food items before they reach the consumer. And the Price Commission
has launched a full scale study of the whole food price situation.
These actions as I have said, have already had some impact. Although
there may be an occasional individual setback, we expect further overall
stabilization and reduction of food prices in the weeks and months ahead."
SENATOR MARLOW COOK, Johnstown, April 20, 1972
"You know, it's amazing to me; my colleagues spent four hours on the floor
of the United States Senate today condemning the President, condemning
the. President for what has occurred in the last few days. And I thought
to myself, another effort to make their war somebody else's war."
"And I thought to myself, it's discouraged this weekend and discouraged
as this Senator gets there is a President of the United States today
that started three years ago with 560,000 men in Southeast Asia and
he's now down to 90 and he 11 be down to 69 on the first of May, and
he's made a firm committment to the American people that they re all
coming out: every one of them, every trooper, every pilot in the entire
area of Southeast Asia. And I want to tell you, he hasn't reneged on it
to the American people up to this date, and I don't expect he will from
here on out.
MR. FRANCIS DALE, Philadelphia, April 20, 1972
" Thank God that we have a President who was able to foresee the risks of
invasion from the North and deliberately retained enough air power to
protect our withdrawing soldiers as well as the civilian population of
South Vietnam and to bargain for our prisoners of war. But instead of
praising the South Vietnamcse and the President for this success, Humphrey,
Muskie and McGovern are berating them. Their frustration mounts as the
South Vietnamese refuse to cave In. This is a strained, hard to understand
position. They should be hailing the success of Vietnamization. Instead,
they seek to condemn it."
SENATOR JACOB JAVITS, Philadelphia, April 20, 1972
"So his first priority was to terminate the War. And he has done far more
in that than either of his predecessors. While some urge that our
disengagement from that war be set and accelerated, and I'm one of those,
and we're deeply concerned about the resumption of the bombing in the
North, there is no doubt about one thing. This President has done more
to wind down the War than either of his predecessors."
MR. ARLEN SPECTER, Philadelphia, April 20, 1972
"Senator Humphrey has come into Pennsylvania and expressed concern about
a national health program. But if Senator Humphrey wanted to do something
on that subject, he ought to be in the United States Senate doing his
job instead of all this campaigning out of the Senate. Senator Muskie
has had a lot to say about tightening tax loopholes. But what has he
done about them as a senator? Senator Muskie wants us to believe that
he would do something as a President which he could not do as a senator.
Now all that is fine except that it's the Senate and House, the Congress
in other words, which has the power to rewrite our tax laws."
"I believe that the President has done and is doing more on the most
important issue which confronts the American people than any other Presi-
dent in the history of this country on the generation of peace approach,
which is the same as the initials of the Grand Old Party of the GOP."
"These activities in conjunction with the SALT talks, the Strategic
Arms Limitation Talks, and with the overall foreign policy of the Adminis-
tration; I think, really coming to grips with the number one concern in
the world today and that is the foundation for a long lasting peace, a
generation of peace."
"On the domestic scene, I think the President is doing everything possible
with the number two issue facing the American people and that is the
problem of the economy, the wage and price controls; and really dealing
in as vigorous and as tough a manner as is possible on that line which
defies really scientific analysis, but I think that the maximim effort is
being made in that direction. Our job is, of course, on the local level
and the state level, to support him with a campaign effort and that is
what we have been doing and will continue to do, and I think that with
Mr. Bloom and Mr. Bunting, B and B, we're in great shape to move ahead. "

MR. HERBERT STEIN, Washington, D. C., April 14, 1972
"Between March 1971 and March 1972, the net rise in the United States
employment was 6,600 jobs every 24 hour day. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported that in March, 56% of the entire population aged 16 and over was
employed. This high percentage has been exceeded on only four years since
1947 and then only by small fractions. This suggests that lots of employ-
ment opportunities occur each day in today's economy even though the number
of unsuccessfully seeking work is still too high to suit us. But we are
obviously advancing. "
GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN, Los Angeles, April 19, 1972
"When the President announced that he was going to start Vietnamization
and he was going to start building the South Vietnamese up to where they
could take care of their own country, and as fast as they were able to
replace us in the field, Americans were going to come home. I think
it is time to be reminded. that he said at that time to the North
Vietnamese, 'We are taking Americans out, we are going to bring them home.
But if, as our numbers decrease, you do anything to show that you are
going to jump on the backs of the men that are left, we're going to do
whatever has to be done to protect those men and to kick your brains out. ...
SENATOR ROBERT DOLE, Washington, D. C., April 18, 1972
"If there is to be criticism at home, let it be directed by the Democrats
against themselves. Those who today raved the most about getting out of
the war; eight years ago did the most to get us in there. And I'm appalled
at their short memories. And I want to make an offer on behalf of the Re-
publican National Committee, and as a service to the Nation, an offer to
finance the tuition of any Democrat Presidential aspirant to attend a
recognized and approved memory course. They all seem to forget where this
war came from, who dumped it on the American people and now ran away from
it, and who is bringing the war to an honorable conclusion."
VICE PRESIDENT AGNEW, Houston, April 18, 1972
With regard to the selected targeting at Hai Phong which relates to the
accumulation of the logistical potential for a conventional invasion
which is taking place, we have been bombing there and I think we have to
do that. I believe there is no way that we can cut off the advantage
that the North Vietnamese hold by virtue of being supplied with a
billion dollars a year of Soviet Military capability and offensive strength.
Thereis no way we can offset that unless we get at the source of the supply.
The Secretary of State made very clear to Senator Fulbright this morning
that we were not going to use our ground troops either in North or South
Vietnam and that we had no intention of broadening the war with the
use of American ground forces."
SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER, Washington, D. C., April 19, 1972
"I'm introducing that resolution with some sadness frankly, because I
never thought I'd live to see the day that the Congress of the United
States would not stand behind the President in time of war. I stated
further that I thought it was reprehensible that we had men with no spines
and jelly legs that wanted to give in to the enemy and dishonor our Nation. "
"Now the whole sense of this resolution will be to express as a sense of
the Senate, that the Senate stands behind the President in the actions
that he has been forced to take in view of the provocation by the North
Vietnamese. What some of these people can't seem to realize is that we
are at war. Now we don't like war, and we may not like this war in
particular, but we are at war and American men and equipment are committed. "
"The only way that we can win that war is as the President has done; to
attack the enemy. The enemy really are two, the North Vietnamese and
the Soviet Union. As I said on the floor, we bombed Hai Phong and we
hit a few Soviet ships. That's too domn bad. They had no business being
in that harbor. They had, no business furnishing supplies to our enemy.

"The Heartland of America is truly the
heart of the Republican Party," was the
message brought directly from the President
by his young brother.
Nostalgic reminiscences of the cross coun-
try trip of Frank and Hannah Nixon and
their family in 1937 were told.
"We had saved for four years to make the
trip," Nixon said. "Our destination was Duke
University where Richard was completing his
law study. He was SO delighted to see all of
us, and he showed us around the campus and
described his classroom experiences SO vivid-
ly that I enrolled there a good many years
later."
Pennsylvania and Ohio were on the Nixon
return itinerary. but it was Hannah Nixon's
childhood Indiana home in Jennings County
that meant so much to the family.
"Mother showed us landmarks, the good
earth of the farm country and the swimming
holes of summer time," Nixon remembered.
"Our cousin, Jessamyn West wrote about our
ancestors in 'Friendly Persuasion.'
On a campaign note, the speaker said,
"There can be no room for complacency.
We'll need the work of everyone in this room
and Republicans throughout the nation to win
in November.'
He continued, "When the results of the
bombings in Vietnam are fully understood,
the American people will support the decision
of the President."
The tall young Nixon challenged Republi-
cans to "come together for victory in all
offices immediately after the primary."
A resident of Seattle. Wash., his wife is a
junior high school math teacher, and their
daughters, Amy, 14, and Beth. 12, attend
