Attachment & Re-elect the President CALIFORNIA COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT 1670 Wilshire Boulevard / Los Angeles, California 90017 Dear Fellow Republican: Can you spare time for some exciting and rewarding work? There is a real need for volunteers in California to work for President Nixons's re-election in November. The President has earned our support. He has brought more than 400, 000 men home from Vietnam. He created the Environmental Protection Agency and signed into law the Clean Air Act. He has slowed the rate of inflation and slowed the awful crime rate. As a Californian, the President is particularly aware of the problems in our state. He has supported the Space Shuttle program which will create 50,000 new jobs, many right here. He has proposed revenue sharing as one way to ease our heavy local and property taxes. Will you volunteer ? You need no special skills or training, just enthusiasm. Please fill in the attached Volunteer Card and send it in today. Sincerely, Ronald Ronald Reagan Reagan Chairman P.S. Please remember to support President Nixon by voting for him in the Primary on June 6th. TEAR HERE Volunteer Card NAME ADDRESS I want to personally support President Nixon for re-election by participating CITY STATE ZIP in the campaign. Please contact me right away! Telephone : Signature INSTRUCTIONS: Please fill out this volunteer card insert it in the business reply envelope and mail today.

The Economy: President Nixon has taken strong action to flatten inflation, make the tax structure more equitable, and avert an international money crisis. He initiated a necessary 90-day wage and price freeze, and enabled $1.5 billion to be loaned to small businesses. Housing starts are up 42% over last year. The Environment: President Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency, the first federal unit ever set up to protect our quality of life. He has signed the Water Foreign Policy: Quality Improvement Act of 1970 and initiated a President Nixon is the first American President to visit Legacy of Parks program.

FREDERIC V. MALEK FROM: ROBERT C. ODLE, JR. SUBJECT: Agenda for Staff Meeting, Tuesday, May 23, 7:30 a.m. 1. In the post-Vietnam crush, Dan Piliero and Charles Shearer were not introduced. You might introduce them, describe their duties, etc. If Andre Le Tendre is present, you might introduce him as well. 2. You should praise everyone for their work on the Vietnam speech. 1701 did a good job and it was noticed at the WH (examples: the 50,000 + telegrams and the results of the Vietnam poll on Metromedia where we won 82% to 18% -- of the 6,000 responses, we can trace 3,500 to 1701). You should stress that we should continue to report on Vietnam follow-up in the weekly report. Weekly report inputs are due today at noon and these should include more Vietnam follow-up which was accomplished last week. 3. Call on Dr. Robert Marik who will introduce Director of the Direct Mail Division Bob Morgan for a presentation on his Division's programs. 4. Call on Jon Foust, Tour Director, for a presentation on the requirements of being a 1701 advance man. 5. Call on Rob Odle for a brief suggestion on security measures to be taken this week. cc: Mr. Jeb S.

Our next staff meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday, May 23, at 7:30 a.m. in the third floor conference room. 2. Material for the weekly report is due by noon Tuesday. This week's report should emphasize our follow-up activities in behalf of the President's recent speech on Vietnam. Thus, please mention these activities in your part of the weekly report. 3. Next Monday, May 29, is Memorial Day. Since all government offices and most businesses will be closed, we will operate with a greatly reduced staff. While our switchboard will be open, each division head is free to close down as much of his office -2- as he chooses. If you are traveling, please remember to leave your telephone number or numbers with Bob Reisner. 4. Because of the unexpected demand for the state notebooks by various divisions of the campaign, Biba Wagner on the third floor is greatly in need of extra secretarial assistance during the day. Our volunteers help Biba with xeroxing, collating, etc., but she is very much in need of assistance from those with top typing skills. Therefore, if any of the secretaries in your office have any extra time during the day, perhaps when you are traveling, if you would ask them to get in touch with Biba at extension 341, she will be able to get the state notebooks which she is working on completed by her deadline of June 15 Thank you very much. cc: Mr. Jeb S. Magruder bcc: Mr. Gordon C. Strachan Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM May 25, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. DE VAN L. SHUMWAY FROM: ROBERT C. ODLE, JR. SUBJECT: Staff Ages As we discussed, the following information on staff ages should produce some grist for your press mill. Hopefully it will also serve to counter the argument that the Nixon people are all at least middle aged and mostly old. The attached graph indicates the age span here at the Committee. While the mean (average) computed to be 32, Sylvia Panarites, who did the research on this, tells me that the median age is statistically correct and it is 27. So, you can say the average of the 1701 staffer is 27 . According to Sylvia, the ethics of statistics allow you to use either the mean or the median SO we should use the median because it is to our advantage in this case. The definite age concentration of our staff under the age of 33 is quite apparent -- as the attached chart show, 65% of the staff is under 33. Along with the chart and mean and median age you might be interested in the mean age of the various sections of the Committee: Youth 23 Finance 37 Political 30 Voter blocs excluding youth 30 PR/media 28 Scheduling and advance 26 Polling and research 30 Secretaries 28 Assistants 29 -2- Directors 40 Although the Finance Committee has the highest mean age, its trea- surer, Hugh Sloan, is only 30. Youth, as expected, has the lowest mean age. The following random age samples may also be of interest as well: Tom Carroccio - 26 - tour desk assistant Ed Cowling - 29 - tour desk assistant Sandy Cram - 27 - scheduler 1 Sue Davis - 25 - advancewoman Jon Foust - 33 - director of advance office Curt Herge - 33 - chief scheduler Bill Minshall - 22 - scheduler Roger Stone - 20 - scheduler Dan Evans - 22 - public opinion polls Rick Fore - 26 - Marik's assistant - campaign planning and strategy Ted Garrish - 29 - public opinion polls Bob Morgan - 34 - director of direct mail operation Bib Wagner - 22 - state election research coordinator Frank Almaguer - 27 - assistant to the director of the Spanish- speaking voting bloc Art Amolsch - 32 - speech writer Leslye Arsht - 27 - national issues research D.

Division heads and their assistants should note that there will. not be a staff meeting on Tuesday, May 30. 2. Recently, the Controller's Office has received a number of ex- pense account forms, check requests, etc., which have not been first routed through this office. This just delays payment because the Controller's Office then sends the requests back to Odle's office for approval. Please remember to send all ex- pense accounts, check requests, etc., to Odle's office where they are approved and then sent to the Controller for payment. (Note: this does not apply to the Finance Division). 3. Please "take it easy" with respect to requests for White House tours. This is the busy season for tours and the Visitors Of- fice at the White House has asked us to request tours only for genuine VIPs and people who have been helpful to the Committee. Please don't ask for tours for neighbors or friends of neigh- bors. Also, please don't ever attempt to get someone on a tour when requested by a Congressman or a Senator who has been turned down by the Visitors Office -- it would not be proper for someone at 1701 to get someone on a tour when a Senator could not. 4. Our telephone system is becoming overloaded by the expansion of the staff -- but if the following steps are taken it can adequately service our needs from now until November: a. Effective immediately please place all outgoing (not long distance calls) on your seven-digit outside lines rather than your three-digit branch lines. Save the branch lines for inter-office and WATS calls. This will mean that the operator will be able to put calls through to your office more easily since your branch numbers will not be busy. By not having to take as many messages, the operator will be able to answer incoming calls more quickly. ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL -2- b. Please give out your seven-digit direct-dial numbers to all your callers. This is becoming increasingly important be- cause of the large number of "citizens" calls coming into our switchboard. Our telephone equipment is not designed to process all your incoming calls through the switchboard and will break down if the outside lines are not used for most incoming calls. Also, when leaving a message at the White House or other office, please ask the party to return your call at your direct number, e.g., "John Jones at 333-9876" rather than "John Jones at the Committee." C. We now have 10 WATS lines -- the maximum number we can have. Seven can be reached by dialing 80, three by dialing 87. If both 80 and 87 ring busy then dial com- mercially on your seven-digit line. d. If you and your secretary have different three-digit branch lines, please answer your own branch line yourself. It is similar to an intercom system and the caller will be some- one from 1701. Outside calls are put through to your sec- retary. Please do not have your secretary place your calls to other staff members at 1701. It's not necessary and it wastes time. e. Please do not ask the operator to place calls for you. Her job is to answer the outside calls and transfer calls -- not place them. If her time is taken up placing calls she cannot answer incoming calls as efficiently as she could. Also, please don't ask the operator for the telephone number of a fellow staff member -- look on your staff list. (Additional copies are available from Sylvia Panarites). f. Please remember that during the day Ruby Youngs (a former White House assistant chief telephone operator) runs the switchboard and Kathy O'Melia is our receptionist. Kathy can be reached at 391, not.0. Ruby can be reached at 0. 5. The attached "hometown" news release form should be filled out as soon as possible by all members of the staff and sent to Mrs. Laura Underwood in the Press Office.

MAGRUDER FROM: ROBERT H. MARIK RHM SUBJECT: New York State In our initial conversation with Mr. Bixby and Steve Blum of the New York Re-election Committee, it has been obvious that they would prefer to run their state campaign in a nearly autonomous fashion. In particular, they have some well de- veloped ideas on the type of programs which should be imple- mented for direct mail and telephone. They also have demo- graphic data to determine which clusters of voters should be approached by each method of communication. In the case of direct mail, they are prepared to argue strongly to use a vendor with whom they have dealt in earlier Rockefeller campaigns rather than to participate in our national arrangement with the Donnelley Corporation. In all other states where direct mail will be used, we have been proceding on the assumption that Bob Morgan, working with the November Group, would bear the responsibility for developing the direct mail materials, in close cooperation with the State Re-election Committees. He would then follow through on the production and development of the mailings, using the Donnelley Corporation. In the direct mail and telephone programs, funds for these activities have been budgeted in the key states through the Washington Committee, and have not been included in the state budgets. The purpose of this memorandum is to ascertain from you whether you desire that the New. York State mail and telephone programs be coordinated closely from Washington as in the other states, CONFIDENTIAL - 2 - or whether you would prefer that Bixby be allowed to proceed with more independence, controlled only by an agreed-upon budget figure. Coordinate direct mail and telephone programs closely as in other key states Be prepared to yield more autonomy to Bixby in New York than to the Chairmen of most other states maril4Bloom CONFIDENTIAL Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM May 12, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER SUBJECT: TIME Magazine You indicated to me last week that you had a special relationship with Hal Bruno of Newsweek Magazine and would be spending some time with him on Thursday. Hal's counterpart at Time Magazine (as roving political reporter) is Simmons (Sim) Fentress. Sim is basically friendly and tells me that from time to time he sat down with you on a background basis in 1968 -- a relationship he would like to reinstitute this year. It would be helpful to me for my own backgrounding as well as in my relationships with Hal and with Sim if I were allowed to sit in on such meetings, even though they are informal and off-the-record. Suggestion:- That you meet informally with Sim sometime within the next two weeks for 30 minutes to an hour. If you approve, I will contact Sim and coordinate the scheduling with Lea. Approve Disapprove Comments: I want to clarify that I have not mentioned the Bruno situation to Fentress. He came to me with this specific request. The establishment of a special relationship with both major news magazines would seem to me to be of assistance to the President's re-election effort. Van DEVAN L.

Dunn 801 Ronda Mendoza Laguna Hills, Ca 92653 Dear Mr. & Mrs. W. Dunn: Your help is needed by President Nixon as he seeks re-election this year. He needs your help in order to win a big victory in his home State. No one expects you to volunteer your help on blind faith. The President himself doesn't expect that. But we believe he has earned your support, and here's the record to back up our belief: The rate of increase in crime in the Nation has been cut in half. He has created special anti-crime strike forces in 17 cities which in 1971 brought nearly 600 Federal indictments and identified over 2,500 criminal suspects. In Washington, D. C., the one city in which the President has direct authority, serious crime actually DECREASED by 13% last year. President Nixon has declared a "war on drugs". He is attacking drug traffic on all fronts. He has won an agreement from Turkey to place a total ban on the growing of opium poppy. He has made an agreement with France to assist in halting the smuggling of heroin from Marseilles. He has added more men to the U.S. Customs Service to check in-coming baggage more thoroughly. He has stepped-up arrests of pushers. He is spending 6 times more for rehabilitation and 5 times more for drug education than ever before. VIETNAM. He has brought home nearly half a million Americans from that communist-battered country, reduced casualties by 95%, and is moving resolutely toward a lasting peace, with freedom in that part of the world. THE ECONOMY. The President has taken strong action to curb inflation and avert any semblance of recession. He initiated a necessary--and couragecus--90-day wage-price freeze, and then established a wage board and price commission to make sure our future economic growth is real and not inflated. He has moved to END America's role as the provider for every nation, and is demanding that other nations begin to pay their fair share of the free world's defense. The President knows that the small business of America must be successful and thriving. He has enabled $1.5 billion to be loaned to small businesses since he took office. To make the tax structure fairer and to relieve the tax burden at the State and local levels, he has proposed a Federal revenue sharing program. This program will make more monies available to local governments by sharing a portion of Federal revenues with them. This will encourage and help finance problem-solving at that same local level by people who understand local problems best in such areas as schools, transportation and law enforcement. ENVIRONMENT. President Nixon has established the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, the first Federal unit ever set up to protect our quality of life. He has signed the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970, and initiated a Legacy of Parks program to insure that our wilderness areas remain "forever wild". And he has signed a joint agreement with Canada, to recapture the beauty of the Great Lakes. In sum, he has proposed 25 SEPARATE ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT BILLS. HEALTH. The President has earmarked massive amounts of money for research efforts to discover CURES FOR CANCER AND SICKLE CELL ANEMIA. He has also proposed a National Health Insurance Standards Act, a Family Health Insurance Plan, and the National Health Education Foundation--all geared to assisting more and more people enjoy healthier and longer lives. President Nixon's philosophy toward senior citizens has been that they can and should play significant roles in the future of our country because of their VAST EXPERIENCE and ACCUMULATED WISDOM. To help, the President has asked Congress for an increase of one-third in Social Security benefits--or, roughly, $100 MORE A MONTH per couple. There's much more, but the whole of President Nixon's record cannot be told in one letter. Enough has been said here, though, to demonstrate that the President has taken action--real McCoy action-to bring an America in shambles (remember the riots and turmoil of 1968?) back to its feet. Surely, you will agree with that-- and with the need to keep SOUND, STABLE, COMMON-SENSE leadership at the helm of our country. Is the President's re-election the sure thing that some have said it is? In politics, nothing is a sure thing without working for it. President Nixon needs help--your help!

I hope this doesn't come as too much of a shock, but a way has finally been figured out SO we will know each month how much your mailing program costs --- and how much ours costs as well. What the RNC has done at our request is to apportion all costs associated with both programs (White House/Colson and 1701/Shumway) between the two. Attached are two documents: your proposed mailing budget and the RNC recap sheet. As can be seen, you are well within your budget for the first four months of 1972 and indeed the only time you exceeded it was in February and that was caused by the special insert for FIRST MONDAY. Your projected budget for the first four months of 1972 was $143,100 and only $104,351 has been spent. But as you pointed out in your May 3 memo, it would be wise to save some funds for a large nationwide mailing which might be requested in the last weeks of the campaign. We'll furnish these reports to you approximately 15 days from the close of each month. Please let me know if you have any questions. cc: Mr. Bruce A. Kehrli Mr. Jeb S. Magruder Mr. De Van L.

FOUST SUBJECT: Appearances by Mr. Ed Nixon and Cesar Romero in San Antonio, Texas on June 24 Mr. Ed Nixon and actor Cesar Romero appeared in San Antonio last Satur- day, June 24 at events sponsored by the National Hispanic Finance Com- mittee for the Re-election of the President. The schedule consisted of a leadership breakfast at which Cesar Romero appeared, and a visit to a new Mexican-American owned bank, an appearance at a "Tamalada" festival, and an appearance at a $1,000 per plate fund raising dinner by both Mr. Ed Nixon and Cesar Romero. The breakfast, the visit to the bank, and the dinner went very well from the standpoint of the appearances by our speakers. At the bank, Mr. Ed Nixon and Cesar Romero opened accounts and the lobby was packed with guests. The "Tamalada" festival was not well attended due to the fact that the tickets were purchased in blocks of 500 and the purchasers did not give the tickets to people who would attend. The temperature was 100° which also may have affected the attendance. There was very favorable coverage on WOAI-TV (NBC) which mentioned that the day's events would be climaxed by a $1,000 per plate dinner. The press clippings are attached.
