Committee for the Re-election of the President
MEMORANDUM
July 2, 1972
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MAC GREGOR
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
Pursuant to your request, Rob Odle has assisted me in preparing the
following in order to acquaint you with the way in which 1701 is
currently organized. The organizational chart attached at Tab A
is the basis upon which this memo is written and may be helpful in
explaining what follows.
First, there are two distinct committees. The Finance Committee to
Re-elect the President, under the direction of its chairman Maurice
Stans, is the committee which is registered with the Comptroller
General under the new federal election law of 1972 as the official
Nixon campaign committee. All funds raised are deposited in the
accounts of this Committee and reported by it. All disbursements
are also made by the Finance Committee.
In the Finance Committee, former Commerce Department official C.
Langhorn Washburn is Mr. Stans' principal assistant, and Hugh Sloan
is Treasurer as well as Mr. Stans' "executive officer." There are
also four vice chairmen: Dan Hofgren, Lee Nunn, Harold Scott, and
Newell Weed. The campaign controller's office, although it works
closely with Rob Odle's Administrative Division which is under
Magruder's direction, is a part of Finance because all disbursements
must be made by the Finance Committee under the law.
The Budget Committee has been chaired jointly by Messrs. Mitchell and
Stans and has as its members Fred LaRue, Jeb Magruder, Fred Malek,
Lee Nunn, Rob Odle, and Hugh Sloan. The function of the Budget Com-
mittee is basically to approve the various Division and State budgets
and track on them as the campaign progress. The tentative post-
April 7 campaign budget (April 7 being the date on which the new
spending law went into effect) is attached at Tab B. Presently, we
have approvals from the Budget Committee on virtually all of the
Division budgets and are now working on the State budgets. Approxi-
mately 25 state budgets have been approved and the balance is in the
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
works. Approvals on the balance are needed as quickly as possible
so that Finance can assign to its State Finance chairmen quotas
based on (1) their percentage of the national budget; and (2) their
own state budget. As you know, under the new law it becomes neces-
sary to bring virtually all of the money raised locally to Washing-
ton and ship it back to the states for their own operations.
Second, there is the Committee for the Re-election of the President
of which Francis L. Dale, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is chairman, and
of which Frank Borman, Max Fisher, Rita Hauser, Erik Jonsson, Thomas
W. Pappas, Donald A. Schollander, Robert H. Volk, and Edward Nixon
are Co-Chairmen. John Mitchell, in effect, has been employed by
Chairman Dale and the Committee as Campaign Director. Under Mr.
Mitchell's direction there have been three broad areas: the Polit-
ical Division, Citizens Division, and, finally, all the other
operating groups and divisions which have been functioning under
Jeb Magruder's direction. These will be discussed below.
1. Political Division. There are five political coordinators who,
with the Campaign Director in the key states, have shared the re-
sponsibility for the conduct of the campaign on a state by state
basis. Initially, the job of political coordinator was to select
a Re-elect chairman in each state and then assist him in putting
his state organization together. Although the five coordinators
are equal in rank, some are more equal (e.g., Bob Mardian) than
others (e.g., A1 Kaupinen).
The five political coordinators are Bob Mardian, formerly Assistant
Attorney General, who basically has responsibility for the West as
he did in 1968; Harry Flemming, who was Virginia state chairman in
1968, the South; Don Mosiman, formerly with E.P.A., the Midwest;
Clayton Yeutter, formerly an Assistant Secretary at Agriculture
(and who also serves as national director of Farm Families for the
President under Malek's Citizens Division), the farm states; and
A1 Kaupinen, formerly Flemming's assistant at the White House, the
Northeast.
In addition, each of the political coordinators has shared responsi-
bility for the key states with Mr. Mitchell. How the states are
split among the five coordinators is detailed at Tab C.
Fred LaRue, as Special Assistant to the Campaign Director, recently
was given the responsibility of overseeing the five coordinators
in order to provide a single channel for the flow of information to
and from the Campaign Director. Fred also performs a number of other
troubleshooting projects for Mr. Mitchell, and his relationship with
the Campaign Director might be likened to the position a Presidential
Counselor has with President Nixon.
CONFIDENTIAL

The five political coordinators are the principal Washington Re-
election Committee contact for each state. They assure that
each state chairman develops a complete plan for the activities
of his organization, and that the objectives and time deadlines
are met throughout the campaign. They also see that each state
chairman develops a complete plan for the activities of his
organization, and that the objectives and time deadlines are met
throughout the campaign. They also see that each state receives
the resources committed from Washington to conduct the campaign
according to plan. When there are differences between a State
Committee and the Washington Committee, relating to strategy or
tactics, the coordinator takes a major role in resolving the
disagreement.
If any of the campaign groups are under-staffed at the present
time, it is the Political Division. Plans called for each co-
ordinator to have an assistant and a "monitor" although these
positions have not all been filled.
The assistant to the coordinator will aid in liaison with the
states. In most cases, he will be responsible for expediting
shipments of campaign materials and for solving the day-to-day
problems. The state monitors will follow the progress of the
campaign within the state, and report to the coordinator. They
will seek to identify problem areas early, so that corrective
action can be taken.
The relationship between the political coordinators, the campaign
controller Jerry Jones, and Bob Marik's strategy operation, will
be discussed further in this memo.
2. All other campaign divisions except Citizens (see #3 below)
have been the responsibility of Jeb Magruder who recently was des-
ignated as Chief of Staff. In addition to the operating divisions
under him, Magruder also has served the Campaign Director as his
principal administrative assistant in (1) controlling the flow of
paper to and from the Campaign Director; (2) staffing out proposals
and decision papers; (3) communicating the Campaign Director's
instructions to other segments of the campaign; (4) assisting in
the planning and integrating of all campaign activities; and (5)
handling special projects.
In short, during the last several months Magruder has served the
Campaign Director in much the same fashion that Bob Haldeman serves
the President.
The divisions operating under Magruder are as follows:
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-4-
a. Director of Administration, Rob Odle. This job is roughly com-
parable to the position which Bruce Kehrli occupies as White House
Staff Secretary, plus a number of other duties, and includes seven
sub-divisions.
(1) Personnel. Staffing, recruiting, hiring, firing, etc.
(2) Correspondence. The correspondence section handles all of
the Campaign Director's mail, all resumes and letters offering
assistance to the campaign, all "citizens" mail, etc. Several
thousand pieces of mail are answered each month and to date we have
responded to more than 8,000 letters from people who wanted staff
positions or who wish to offer their services to the campaign.
(3) Volunteers. Several hundred men and women spend time volunte-
ering on many projects at 1701. These include Cabinet and White House
wives, college students, and the kind of volunteers one normally finds
in a campaign. Because of security problems, each volunteer's polit-
ical loyalty is carefully checked before he or she is allowed to begin.
(4) Budget administration, expense account approval, preparation of
all documents for the Budget Committee, approval for all expenditures
of funds, etc.
(5) Office management. Liaison with buildings in which Committee
offices are maintained at 1701 and 1730 Pennsylvania Avenue, all
telephone services, supplies, office equipment and furniture, main-
tenance of telephone switchboards, etc.
(6) Security. Maintenance of guard force, Committee cars and
drivers, audio countermeasures work, security devices such as
closed circuit TV, checks on new employees through the FBI, physical
protection of Campaign Director, liaison with government agencies
in connection with bomb threats, demonstrations, etc. Compares to
what the Executive Protective Service and Secret Service does to
protect the security of the White House.
(7) Special projects and staffing of memoranda, decision papers,
etc., for the Campaign Director.
b.. Director of the Advance and Tour Office, Jon Foust. The primary
responsibility of the Advance and Tour Office is to make advance
preparations for surrogate events and maximize the Committee's use
of the surrogates and celebrities' time. This is accomplished by
enlarging the principals' schedules with the secondary events, press
conferences, etc. In addition, by advancing the principals the maxi-
mum media impact for the President's re-election is assured. The
division is also available to assist in providing expertise to aid
other divisions for planning, organizing and implementing any seminar,
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-5-
meeting, convention, etc. The office comprised of a director,
assistant director, a tour desk manager, two assistant tour
desk managers, an advance woman and four secretaries. Although
the majority of our events are presently scheduled by telephone
an effective force of trained advancemen is being built. Cur-
rently six advancemen are fully trained and another fifty-three
are being trained. Approximately fifteen of the trainees have
been on at least one trip. We hope to have at least 34 trained
men for the campaign. The director is also the Committee's
liaison for the Republican National Convention. He is speci-
fically responsible for coordinating with the Voter Bloc groups,
all rallies, women's division, youth division, advertising
divison, spokesmen and escorts.
C. Special Assistant on Strategy (Attack Operation), Ed Failor.
The primary job of the "attack man" is to help develop the attack
(anti) strategy; cause the implementation and orchestration of
the attack strategy through all available means; chair the Attack
Committee which is composed of representatives from the RNC, the
White House and the Re-election Committee; help develop timing of
attack strategy; plan and execute the Truth Squad operation in
Miami at the Democratic Convention; submit proposal on campaign
Truth Squad and supervise operation if affirmative decision is
made; coordinate all research and investigation regarding the
attack strategy on the opposition's candidate; supervise the Letter
Writing Operation; participate in the "Monday Night Strategy" meet-
ings; participate in the "Mitchell Strategy Group's" meetings; help
coordinate attack strategy with overall strategy; maintain daily
contact with chief of staff; and maintain liaison with Colson's
shop on attack strategy.
d. Convention Task Force, Bill Timmons. Under the direction of
Bill Timmons, who with John Ehrlichman was in charge of Nixon
convention activities in 1968, a convention task force has spent
the last year putting together thorough and complete plans for
both the Republican National Committee's sponsorship of the 1972
convention and the Nixon committee's participation in it. Par-
ticipating in the task force are Dick Herman and the other top
people on the RNC's Arrangements Committee, members of the Presi-
dent's personal staff such as Chapin, Walker, Carruthers, etc.,
and several 1701 staffers.
Particular emphasis in the last several weeks has been given to
the Convention program which is currently being firmed up and
should be reviewed with you as soon as possible.
e. General Counsel, Glenn Sedam. The counsel's office is responsi-
ble for all legal tasks one would normally expect in a campaign. In
addition, because of the new federal campaign act there is a great
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-6-
deal of work which must be done in the counsel's office in order
that the Committee and the Finance Committee remain in compliance
with the new legislation. In addition, the Counsel tracks on how
the Democratic candidates are complying with the new law.
f. Director of Polling, Bob Teeter. Teeter assures that the three
major vendors which conduct the polling in the field use identical
questionnaires and interviewing techniques so that comparable data
is obtained from all areas of the country. He then provides an
analysis of the results for the decision-makers of the campaign.
A first wave of polls was taken in January. The polls were taken
within approximately 19 states, in addition to a national sample.
The second polling wave is just coming in from the field and the
data will be available within approximately two weeks, although
the head-to-head results of the second wave are now available for
your review.
A third wave is planned, to be taken in late August or early
September. During the final six weeks of the campaign, tele-
phone interviews will be conducted on a continuous basis across
the nation and will focus on particular states, as required.
The purpose will be to maintain a continuous surveillance on the
mood of the public as election day draws near.
g. Planning, Strategy, Direct Mail, and Telephone Operations, Bob
Marik.
(1) Voter Registration Lists. The basic elements of the campaign
are voter registration, voter identification and get-out-the-vote.
All of these elements are related in the eleven key states by the
functions described below:
In the 11 target states, we are in the process of compiling lists of
registered voters. This responsibility rests with Bob Morgan who is
also in charge of the Direct Mail operation. Contracts have been
signed with vendors to secure the lists in each key state. Most
lists are scheduled to be completed during the month of August.
These lists will be put on to computer tape and used for several
purposes:
(a) As calling lists for telephone centers. The names will be
printed out in alphabetical order on a format that will allow the
telephoner to record the voter identification data obtained during
the call.
(b) As precinct walking lists. The names will be printed out
in street walking sequence on a format similar to that used in
the telephone centers.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-7-
(c) For addressing targeted direct mail.
(d) Poll-Watchers lists for Election Day. The voter identification
information which has been compiled on computer lists through precinct
canvassing and telephoning during the campaign will be used to get out
the vote.
The functions of direct mail and telephone will be described in some-
what more detail below.
(2) Telephone. The telephone operations are under the direction
of Nancy Brataas. Their objective is to provide the technical sup-
port to successfully establish more than 200 telephone centers in
the eleven target states. They will be staffed by volunteer tele-
phoners. Each center will have ten telephones for outgoing calls,
and will canvass approximately 70,000 households during September
and October.
Telephone centers were an important part of the primary campaigns in
New Hampshire, Maryland and California this spring. For general
election campaign, the telephone chairman is:
(a) Working with the Nixon Chairman in each key state to recruit
a qualified state telephone chairman and to select the sites for
telephone centers.
(b) Developing detailed procedures and written instructions for
the operation of the telephone centers.
(c) Planning for the use of experienced volunteers, as well as
her own staff, to travel to the states to help establish the tele-
phone centers in late August and September.
(d) Preparing a reporting system to monitor the number of calls
completed by each center, as well as to control their expenditures
within budget and in compliance with the media limitations of the
Campaign Spending Law.
(3) Direct Mail. Bob Morgan is directing an effort which is
preparing to mail up to thirty million letters to potential voters,
using sophisticated methods to target potentially favorable Democrats
and Independents. The advantage of direct mail is that a specific
message can be directed to an individual voter without necessarily
sending the same message to another voter nearby. We plan to use
mail early in the campaign, particularly to discuss the issues which
might trouble various segments of Democrats and Independents should
Senator McGovern be nominated. Later on, we plan to send get-out-
the-vote telegram letters to Republicans and identified favorable
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-8-
Democrats and Independents to increase their turn-out on election
day. Bob Morgan is now in the process of assuring that our vendors
have the capability of handling this volume of mail with the sophis-
ticated use of the registered voter lists. The techniques which we
plan to use were tested successfully in primary campaign mailings in
several states.
(4) Planning. The Planning Division has been performing the
function of coordinating the plans of the various campaign programs
to ensure that they fit together consistently within each state and
in the campaign as a whole. In that role, they have been working
closely with the political coordinators on the individual state
plans, and with each of the program directors as they compile their
national plans. Dick Shriver has been responsible for this planning
and coordinating process. Most recently, the Planning Division has
worked with the political coordinators to schedule planning meetings
with all of the states here in Washington. We are also developing
a critical path to allow us to make key decisions in September and
October in order to best use our resources at the most important
stage of the campaign. One of the purposes here is to determine the
last moment at which a decision can be made or rescinded before
resources have been committed.
(5) Strategy. There are several groups which meet to develop
thoughts on the strategic direction of the campaign. For each of
these, Bob Marik acts as the staff secretary to record the minutes
and see that all action steps are followed through.
(a) In-House Strategy Group. The group has met with Mr. Mitchell
when a specific question needed to be resolved. Some recent examples
have been decisions on the tone and major activities of the campaign
during the periods before the Democratic convention, between the two
conventions, between the Republican convention and the campaign kick-
off and between the campaign kick-off and election day. Members of
this group include Miller, Magruder, Marik, Maled, Mardian, Flemming,
Dailey, Teeter, Failor, and demographics analyst Arthur Finklestein.
(b) Monday Evening Strategy Group. This is a much more broadly-
based strategy group which includes several people from the White
House staff. The group is chaired by Cliff Miller. Mr. Mitchell
has not attended these meetings. The meetings take place on alter-
nate Monday evenings at 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue. The subjects for
discussion tend to be related to broad strategy questions rather
than the "nuts and bolts" of the campaign. The group serves the
dual purpose of informing key members of the White House staff on
the progress of the campaign and obtaining their best thinking on
campaign strategy.
CONFIDENTIAL

-9-
(c) Political Coordinators. A twice-weekly meeting had been
established with Mr. Mitchell, the 5 political coordinators,
Jeb Magruder, Fred LaRue, Fred Malek and Bob Marik. The purpose
of this meeting was to ensure that all parts of the campaign were
well coordinated at the operational level.
This group has dealt with subjects such as methods to improve the
effectiveness of registration programs in the states.
(6) Reporting and Accountability. Jerry Jones, as the campaign
controller, has the responsibility for developing a reporting system
within the states which will allow the campaign director to have an
independent measure of how effectively the campaign is being run.
Jerry has been working closely with the political coordinators and
with Rick Fore of the Planning Division to see that the political
programs at the local level are structured to include adequate
accountability. Jones reports to Fred Malek and also works closely
with the five political coordinators as well as Bob Marik.
h. PR/Media, Cliff Miller and Van Shumway. The Communications
Office of the Committee, headed by Public Affairs Director DeVan
L. Shumway is the principal communications contact point of the
campaign. Clifford Miller serves as consultant to the Communications
Office. The offices presents the candidacy of the President directly
to the electorate through press and television media through placement
of spokesmen, and through campaign publications.
The Office's objective is to inform the American voters of the Presi-
dent's extraordinary accomplishments in office, directly by its media
contacts, surrogate placements, press releases, interviews, publica-
tions and indirectly through State Chairmen and their communications
operations.
If the President is attacked politically, the Office will respond to
the attack, but its central function will be that of presenting the
President and his record of accomplishments. To achieve this objective,
the Office is structured in this way.
(1) Director of Public Affairs DeVan L. Shumway deals directly with
the national and regional media as situations warrant and is involved
in overall campaign planning. All personnel of the Communications
Office report to him.
(2) Communications Manager Miss Ann L. Dore has full administrative
authority over all operations of the office. She also is directly
involved in the formulation of public realtions policy and programs
for the campaign.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-10-
(3) News and Information Director Powell A. Moore services press
requests and directly supervises the monitoring system in individual
states, as described in The Press Director's Handbook, which has been
sent to all states.
(4) News Bureau Manager Art Amolsch prepares and distributes news
releases on the developing issues and events of the campaign. A
limited amount of speech writing also is handled by the News Bureau.
(5) Radio-Television Director Scott Peters provides filmed and
audiotaped statements of campaign figures and other political leaders
to broadcasters around the nation -- targeting on issues and target-
ing geographically.
(6) Publications and Graphics Editor Frank Leonard prepares the
campaign newspaper, The Re-Elector, and other publications, as needed.
(7) Public Relations Manager Tony McDonald is responsible for the
publicity and public relations programs for the voter blocs and the
citizens groups. He is assisted by two project managers.
(8) Photo Editor Bill Parish provides complete campaign photographic
services, taking pictures and furnishing prints as needed.
(9) Researcher Leslye Arsht, working closely with the Research Divi-
sion of the Republican National Committee, makes available current in-
formation on issues.
(10) Surrogate Media Placement Director Joan Donnelly, in coordina-
tion with the Committee's Campaign Speakers Bureau is directly respon-
sible for placement of surrogates on television, radio and for press
interviews or conferences.
We have kept a tight rein of who speaks to the press: generally, only
the Campaign Director, Van Shumway, and Powell Moore speak on the
record. Magruder often backgrounds. Direct contact has been limited
to these four.
i. Director of Scheduling, Bart Porter. The Scheduling Division is
divided into two main areas: (1) surrogate scheduling; and (2) celeb-
rity resources. The Director of Scheduling is Herbert L. "Bart"
Porter. Raymond Caldiero is responsible for the celebrity function
and Curtis Herge the scheduling function.
In late April, Mr. Mitchell asked some 32 Cabinet Officers, Senators,
Congressmen, Governors, and Senior White House Staff to become of-
fical surrogate candidates for the President. It was felt that,
because of the probable limited amount of personal Presidential
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-11-
campaigning, it was important to have the "first team" out speaking
on behalf of the President, his successes and achievements, and to
carry the campaign to the people.
Being an official surrogate means that, for campaign purposes,
scheduling is controlled by 1701. Each event, whether created by
1701 or not, is checked with the appropriate political coordinator
and state chairman (or his representative). Once an event is
scheduled and a surrogate "locked in," the event is turned over to
the Tour Office for follow-up.
The Scheduling Division has just completed its "Attack Plan" for the
campaign. This Plan provides for hitting every major media center
in the 15 key states with our 32 surrogates. A total of over 650
man-days of campaigning is anticipated from Labor Day (September 4)
to the Election (November 7).
Overall reaction to the Plan has been extremely favorable. Suggestions
were solicited and received and these are currently being incorporated.
The Attack Plan will be ready for your review on Friday, July 7. At
that time, with your approval, each of the surrogates will be contacted
personally and actual scheduling for the campaign will begin immediately.
At the present time we have three separate celebrity divisions
Celeb-
rities for the President, with offices in New York; American Music for
the President in Nashville, Tennessee; and Athletes for the President
in New York.
The three celebrity groups are now in the process of being properly
coordinated so they work effectively as one unit. The prime re-
sponsibility for proper coordination, direction, organization,
implementation of new ideas and programs, and the recruitment and
servicing of these "notables" has been given to Raymond Caldiero
as his primary responsibility.
All three celebrity groups are identifiable voter blocs; all have
the same unique characteristics of notoriety; and all should be
utilized as one support function. The celebrity operations will
be utilized specifically to support events with our surrogates,
voter blocs, citizens groups, and most importantly, to achieve
the proper media coverage with our many celebrities -- all sup-
porting the main objective to re-elect the President.
j. Director of Advertising, Peter Dailey. A task force advertising
agency, November Group, Inc. has been organized to develop advertis-
ing programs and promotional materials for the 1972 re-election
campaign. The November Group has several members in Washington, at
the Committee for the Re-election of the President, but most of its
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-12-
organization is headquartered at 909 Third Avenue, New York City
10022. The agency is headed by Peter Dailey. The agency's
responsibilities include the planning, execution and evaluation
of all advertising copy and media, as well as the development of
Convention and campaign promotional materials, such as brochures,
bumper stickers, buttons and banners. The agency will also be
responsible for documentary films.
Because of the provisions of the recently enacted Federal Election
Campaign Act, it is important that the November Group retain full
responsibility for budgeting and purchasing media time and space
for all re-election advertising on behalf of the President. This
new law establishes spending limitations (approximately 10c per
eligible voter, or about $14.2 million for the general election)
on communications media "on behalf of" a candidate is charged
against the candidate's limitation. In order to enforce this, the
law states that no one may purchase advertising time or space with-
out written certification from the candidate that the spending limit
will not be exceeded.
Current status of projects is as follows:
(1) Advertising
(a) Creative Strategies - Strategies for the overall mass advertis-
ing campaign as well as specific voter group creative strategies have
been developed and appraised.
(b) Advertising Copy - Several commercials have been tested in
rough form, and a number of new radio and TV commercials and print
advertisements are now being developed on the basis of the creative
strategies and the qualitative research among voters.
(c) Media Planning - A media plan has been produced which allocates
funds on a national and state by state basis, and also assigns spend-
ing levels for advertising to specific voter groups. This plan is
now being refined and will be completed during the month of July.
(d) Media Buying - Arrangements are being made for purchasing
media time and space from New York, with financial reports and
media purchasing reports available in Washington on a weekly basis.
(2) Documentary Films. Three documentary films are now in the
rough cut stage, and will be tested among voters prior to complet-
ion in early August. These films will be used at the Convention
and later as part of the television communications program.
(3) Promotion. The promotion budget has been allocated among the
states and among the voter groups. Promotional items for the conven-
tion are now being selected for July production, and voter group items,
such as brochures, posters and buttons are being produced.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL

(4) Direct Mail Copy. A number of direct mail pieces were provided
for the state primary elections and for other mailings. The direct
mail plan for the general election is now being assembled by the plan-
ning division, and will serve as the basis for further November Group
copy development.
3. Citizens. The citizens groups are divided into two areas: a dozen
major voting blocs and approximately fifty small functional groups.
In addition to the national groups which have their staff support from
1701, each state is expected to develop its own citizens organization
mirroring the national plan with the directors reporting to the individ-
ual state chairmen. While Fred Malek runs the Citizens operation from
the White House, the overall director of the Citizens groups at 1701
is Chuck Shearer.
Presently, 15 staff members have been brought on board in the citizens
area.
The objectives of the Citizens operation are two-fold: first, to gain
support for the President within broad blocs of voters; and second, to
mine the major blocs and, particularly, the functional groups, for
manpower within the states.
Within the major voting blocs priorities have been established by
budget and management purposes using the following criteria:
(a) Top priority is granted to those groups which are large and
important numerically beyond their national average in key states.
(b) Weight is given to groups in which the issues or Presidential
accomplishments indicate an opportunity to attract or retain votes
for the President.
Based on these criteria we have selected groups which should receive
top priority and groups which should receive secondary priority.
They are:
TOP PRIORITY

25
Older Americans

Ethnics

Women are not being addressed as a voting bloc but are receiving
special attention from Pat Hutar, Director of Volunteers.
The attention given to each of these groups, of course, varies by
state. Large, key states and states in which voting bloc exercises
an important influence (i.e., Spanish-Speaking in California and
Texas) receive maximum attention.
Edward Nixon, a Co-Chairman of the Committee for the Re-election of
the President is closely involved with the work of the Citizens
groups.
Fred Malek said today that he has provided you with additional mater-
ial and memoranda describing the Citizens Division, so we will not
go into additional detail here.

SUBJECT:
After-Action Report
Democratic National Convention Operation
1. OBJECTIVES
A. To take advantage of the heavy concentration of media in
Miami to communicate with the American people in order to
promote the re-election candidacy of the President.
B. To demonstrate our interest in Democrat support and the
bi-partisan nature of the effort to re-elect the President
by establishing our presence there.
C. To get first-hand reports on the shortcomings of the
operation for handling the press at the convention in order
to eliminate them at the Republican Convention.
2. METHODS
A. Our presence was established by opening a hospitality suite
for the media.
B. Secretary Morton and Governor Love were used on Wednesday
and Thursday mornings as spokesmen for the Committee in a
press availability at the hospitality suite.
C. A press conference with Secretary Morton and Governor Love
to introduce prominent defecting Democrat figures joining the
President's campaign was scheduled but was cancelled.
3. RESULTS
A. The newspaper copy included stories by UPI, The New York Times,
and The Washington Post and was, by and large, favorable and
seemed to communicate our message. Secretary Morton and Governor
Love had a film interview with Lem Tucker of ABC television
which, as far as we know, was never used, and Secretary Morton
appeared on the TODAY show.
MR. DEVAN L. SHUMWAY

July 18, 1972
In addition, there was very substantial interest from
the Colorado press in Governor Love's presence at the
Convention. Our monitoring report from Colorado should
provide an indication of the nature of copy resulting from
its interest.
B. Based on the number of visits from reporters to the
hospitality suite plus the comments that we received, our
presence and interest was the subject of considerable
conversation at the Convention.
C. While the team made arrangements for a press conference,
it never developed because no prominent Democrats were
produced.
D. Major objections that reporters stated to the press
arrangements were as follows:
(1) The system for obtaining new credentials each day to
gain entrance to the Convention Hall was regarded as
a nuisance, particularly by the smaller newspapers.
Under this system, someone had to stand in line each
day and in the case of one man operations, this was
a substantial bother.
(2) The arrangement for obtaining floor passes was the
subject of considerable complaint. In the case of
writing press, the line for 15 minute floor passes
was usually about 30 minutes and in the case of
independent broadcasters, the wait for a thirty minute
floor pass was usually over an hour.
SUMMARY
In our opinion, the operation was successful and well worth the effort.
Our objectives were achieved with the exception of the Thursday press
conference.

MEMORANDUM TO: CLARK MACGREGOR
FROM:
PAT BUCHANAN
SUBJECT:
MISSOURI
From last week's trip to the Show Me State, the following are
most useful in terms of issues:
a)
In St. Louis itself, both bussing and abortion-on-demand are
major issues in this very Catholic city and area.
b)
Today's picture of Bill Clay (Cong.) with McGovern at Sylvan
Lake -- should be given side circulation. Clay is an old militant
agitator, and his presence in the McGovern hierarchy will hurt in
Missouri -- we should have that picture distributed, and our Missouri
chairman point to the Clay influence in the McGovern camp.
c)
Eagleton is personally popular, but McGovern is not. We
should run against McGovern in Missouri, not Eagleton.
d)
The McDonnell-Douglas issue, and the F-15 are major news,
and major concern out there. Approach is not to charge a deal
(actually Missourians would be delighted with a deal) but charge that
McGovern's Inauguration means the immediate death of the F-15 and
the immediate loss of 20, 000 jobs at McDonnel1-Douglas.
e)
Hearnes will probably now, (despite the insults to him at the
convention by refusing to let him nominate Eagleton) be working
hard for the ticket. If Eagleton goes to Veep, lame duck Hearnes
can name himself Senator. It's his last chance.
f)
We lost a chance to win Governorship when 33-year-old
Kit Bond, popular liberal candidate, was found not to have been a
proclaimed resident for last ten years -- a requirement. Could cost
him the certain chance to win, if he had been nominated -- may even
cost him the nomination and his job.

SUBJECT:
Surrogate Conference
It is recommended that, subsequent to the Republican National
Convention and prior to the President's conference in Hawaii
with Prime Minister Tanaka on August 31, 1972, the President
should meet with the surrogate candidates for the purpose of
discussing their role during the general campaign.
To our knowledge, with the exception of the Cabinet, the
surrogates have not met with the President to discuss the
surrogate program. This proposed meeting would be timed to
occur at a point after the President's self-imposed embargo on
participating in political activities, but prior to the time
the Surrogate Attack Plan goes into effect. It will be the
last time, before Election Day, when all the participants will
be available.
The meeting would provide the surrogates with the psychological
motivation and desire to implement the Plan to the President's
satisfaction. In addition, it would provide the President with
the knowledge that the personal campaigning is in good hands.
We recommend that the meeting be attended by the President,
senior White House staff members, senior 1701 staff members,
the 36 surrogate candidates and Sen. Dole. The surrogates'
staff members should not be invited.
The alternative locations for the meeting are:
Option 1: Camp David, during the weekend of August 26th.
CONFIDENTIAL

Option 2: Key Biscayne, immediately after the Convention.

Dear Ken:
Thank you for your letter of July 14th in which you suggested
that we consider entering a five million dollar suit against
John Y. Brown for misrepresentation and fraud. I have referred
the matter to our counsel who is of the opinion that the in-
stitution of such a lawsuit would not be in the Committee's
best interest at this time.
A number of factors enter into this decision. Commencement of
an action might be misinterpreted by third parties as merely
being an attempt to retaliate against the Democrats for the
Watergate litigation. A lawsuit would serve to focus attention
upon exactly how much money we did have available in contrast to
the Democrats and would raise issue as to how much additionally
in contributions we anticipate being able to receive. Finally,
the opposing side in any litigation would undoubtedly seek to
take depositions of our Finance Committee people and attempt
thereby to learn generally about our fund raising activities and
specifically about the source of pre-April 7th contributions.
Our people feel that a better course of action would be to send
letters to Brown and to the Democratic National Committee which,
in no uncertain terms, would both refute Brown's statements and
serve notice of our intent to take appropriate legal action if
misrepresentations of a similar nature are made in the future
by Brown or anyone else associated with McGovern's campaign.
Copies of these letters would be released to the media by our
press people.
I thank you for calling this matter to my attention and hope that
you will be in agreement with our presently contemplated course of
action.
Sincerely,
Clark MacGregor

SUBJECT
Republican Gala
We would appreciate it if you would consider the question whether
arrangements could be made with Mr. Buehl Berentson, Director of
the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, to get complimentary
tickets to the Republican Gala in Miami on August 20th for all the
Surrogate Candidates and their wives.
The Surrogates have committed themselves to campaign for the
President (and. along the way, for many of the Senators) and we
are hearing from some of them that they consider it unfair to be
asked to pay $500 for each ticket.

KENTUCKY COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 -- Clark MacGregor, campaign director of the
Committee for the Re-Election of the President, today announced
the appointment of Harlan attorney Eugene Goss as chairman of the
Kentucky campaign committee and of Senators John Sherman Cooper and
Marlowe Cook and former Senator Thurston Morton as honorary co-chairmen.
Commenting on his new post, Mr. Goss pledged a "vigorous and effective
effort to turn out a maximum vote for President Nixon in Kentucky. The
people of this state have given the President substantial victories in
each of his bids for the White House.
"I am confident that in this particular year -- when it is all the
more important to guarantee a continuation of his leadership -- the
people of Kentucky will once again give him an overwhelming mandate."
Mr. Goss said that announcement of other members of the Kentucky
Committee for the Re-Election of the President would be made within a
short time.
A native of Harlan and a graduate of Harlan County High School,
Eastern Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky Law School,
Mr. Goss has practiced law in Harlan since 1959. He is a partner in
the firm of Goss, Forrester and Emerson.
He has served as head of the Department of Economic Security in
Kentucky and as head of Kentucky Department of Highways. Currently,
he is a member of the board of trustees of the University of Kentucky.
Mr. Goss is married to the former Betty Ann Holtzclaw of Louisville,
and they have one son, Mark David.

Russell County as chairman of the Alabama campaign committee.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Comer said, "The policies and

A resident of Pittsview in Russell County, Mr. Comer is the owner
and operator of a farming operation and is president of Phoenix Motels, Inc.
He is a director of a number of banks, insurance companies and other corpora-
tions and has been active in various civic organizations.

A veteran of Word War II, Mr. Comer entered service in 1941 as a
private, served in the infantry in the European Theater and was discharged
in 1945 with the rank of major.
He and his wife, Anne Laurie Comer of Eufala, have four children:
Louise, Richard, Jr., Braxton Bragg II, and Frank Willis II.

SUBJECT:
"Re-elect the President" Booth at the
1972 Jaycee National Convention
Atlanta, Georgia, June 18-21
Several weeks ago, Mr. Mitchell suggested that the 1972 Jaycee
National Convention "be covered in an appropriate way". With that as
our charter, we proceeded to arrange for a booth in the Jaycee's
Exhibit Hall, which was located in the Hall of Nations at the Marriott
Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. Pictures of the booth and floor plan indi-
cating its location are attached. The booth was fifteen (15) feet wide,
ten (10) feet deep and eight (8) feet high.
I assigned the project to Bill Minshall, of my staff, who acted as pro-
ject manager until its completion. He had assistance from Angie Miller,
who secured Nixonettes to man the booth and campaign generally in the
Marriott Hotel and Atlanta Civic Center. All major Jaycee Convention
activities took place in the Civic Center. In addition to Angie Miller,
those girls who were Nixonettes were Lee Brennan, Pat Connell, Emily
Dannals, Ellen Griffin, Susan Hanger, Cindy Love, Carol Miller, and
Deesi Thurston.
Andre' Le Tendre provided "Key Men" from within the National Jaycee
Executive Committee to help man the booth. These people stationed them-
selves in front of the booth and drew Jaycees towards the booth. They
were John Benjamin, Pat Parnell, Roger Poppen, Clifford Short, and
Donald Whitehead.
During the 3 1/2 days that the Exhibit Hall was open, the following items
were distributed to approximately 6,000 people:
4,000 "Re-elect the President" buttons
3,500 "Re-elect the President" bumper stickers
1,000 "Re-elect the President" brochures
3,000 "Right-On Mr. President" buttons
4,500 "Re-elect the President" balloons
Page 2
Most important, however, are the 1543 volunteer cards which were
filled out at the booth by the Jaycees as they passed by. The
volunteer cards were in the form of returnable postcards and an
additional 500 were distributed to persons to take home and send
in later. We are forwarding all of these cards to our youth group
and to the State Chairmen through the appropriate political
coordinators.
In addition to campaign materials, Georgia voter-registration
material was available at the booth. It is written in the by-laws
of the Jaycees that persons must be registered to vote to join the
organization.
Reactions from the Jaycees concerning the booth and the President
were generally favorable. People were happy that they were able to
secure campaign materials and be able to volunteer their help. The
booth was valuable to the re-election effort. Many persons in the
Jaycees are young, active and motivated toward supporting the
President. The booth provided these people the opportunity to select
campaign materials and volunteer their services, while making the
President's campaign effort highly visible to the Jaycees.
Finally, the scheduling office is presently putting together a "kit",
complete with pictures, diagrams, and specifications, which we plan
to send to all of our State Chairmen (through the political coordinators).
The purpose of the kit is to show graphically how to build and man
similar booths at every State Fair held across the country this summer
and fall. We found the booth in Atlanta to be useful as a. vehicle to
create supportive activity for the President.

SUBJECT:
Paid Telephone Operators
Some time ago, we decided not to use Alan Peterson for Neighbors
for Nixon in this campaign. As our plans have evolved, I have
moved toward the conclusion that we can accomplish all of our
telephone canvass objectives with volunteer telephoners, using
the Brataas program. The only exception would be New York,
which has been given the latitude to use paid telephoners in
the New York City area.
We can review this before our meeting with Clark MacGregor
next week, but I wanted you Bob to know our thinking ahead of
time.

Statistics on SMSAs
Per your request, the attached tabulation shows the gross
population and central city population of the top sixty
SMSAs in the United States. The other item of information
you requested, the population of the central counties of
each SMSA, will require further tabulation which we will
have completed by 10:00 A.M. tomorrow. We will also ex-
tend the list to include the top 100 SMSAs, to reach the
lower limit of population you desired.

JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
HERBERT L. PORTER
SUBJECT:
Speech at Capitol Hill Club -- Thursday,
July 13, 1972 -- 12:30 p.m.
Mr. Mitchell had previously accepted this opportunity to
speak at the Capitol Hill Club (approximately 250-300 people)
on Thursday, July 13. Today he indicated to me his decision
to cancel.
Paul Theis, Chairman of the Speakers Committee for the
Capitol Hill Club, says that he spoke to you at the '72
Candidate's Conference last Saturday evening at the Twin
Bridges Marriott. You reportedly indicated a willingness to
replace Mr. Mitchell as the speaker.
Would you be willing to accept this invitation for a speech
at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 13? That will be the fourth
day of the Democratic Convention, and this might be a good
platform from which to comment on the proceedings.

Dear Curt:
Mr. Thomas J. Lankford
This is to formalize the invitation we discussed over the
phone to John Mitchell to speak at the Capitol Hill Club Headliner
luncheon in July.
Although we are well aware of the demands on Mr. Mitchell's
time, we feel the forum for comment by him on the Democrats'
convention, its candidates and platform which the club could provide,
would be excellent. We would, therefore, suggest either July 12, 13,
or 14 as the best time.
As for a timetable for the luncheon, it would start at 12:30
p.m., preceded by a small reception for headtable guests and members
of the Senate and House GOP leadership who might be in town despite
the Congressional recess. We would like Mr. Mitchell to join US
for this reception at about 12:15, if possible. Suggested length for
his remarks following the luncheon: about 20 or 30 minutes. We
would expect an instant sell-out for this event, by the way, which
would mean about 350 club members and guests as well as newsmen.
We think Mr. Mitchell's appearance would be a highlight
of the Headliner luncheon series and provide an excellent forum for
comments by him to help balance off the mass of Democratic propa-
ganda which will be coming out of Miami Beach at that time. We
hope he can make it. We would like to have you join US as well for
the reception and luncheon as a guest of the club, Curt.
Best regards,
Daue

MEMORANDUM TO:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
GLENN J. SEDAM, JR.
SUBJECT:
Democratic Delegates: Are the
Majority of Delegates Attending
Their First Convention?
The Democratic National Committee and a good deal of the media
are claiming a 70-80% rate of first-time attendance at a
Democratic convention by this year's delegates. A partial
survey of individual delegates plus a check with several state
sources indicate that figure is approximately correct. This
unusually high number of first time delegates can be
attributed to the following factors.
1. The failure of Ed Muskie and the success of George
McGovern and George Wallace in the primaries. Muskie
had the early support of state party leaders who are
"old hands" at attending conventions. They went
down to inglorious defeat with their candidate (Massa-
chusetts is a prime example). Wallace and McGovern
on the other hand filled their slates with insurgents
who are new to the convention game.
2. McGovern's success in caucus states. The McGovern forces
turned out liberal activists in nearly every caucus state.
They were not impressed with state party leaders and
tended to vote for their own people firmly committed to
McGovern.
3. Labor's unsuccessful "uncommitted" strategy. Big labor
a la AFL-CIO failed miserably in several states with
their efforts to elect uncommitted delegates. These
men would have tended to be the same ones who attended
past conventions.
In short, there will be quite a few novices in Miami. The
Democrats may get some good publicity on the way to the convention,
but once there, they may wish there were a few more party regulars
around.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
GORDON STRACHAN
FROM:
KEN RIETZ KR
I thought you would be interested in the attached
description of the Young Voters speakers effort.
YOUTH CAMPAIGN'S SPOKESMAN RESOURCE PROGRAM
The basic premise behind the kind of full scale spokesman resource
program being developed by the youth campaign is the same that under-
girds the youth campaign in general: The fundamental problem we face
is that of peer group pressure against supporting the President.
"Nobody's for Nixon", is the kind of thinking which lies at the bottom
of this syndrome, among young people. Every poll and survey taken shows
that this is not in fact the case - indeed most often the President is
the number one choice among young people for President. The problem,
is that the President's supporters are often the quiet ones - the young
people most easily intimidated by the shouters and screamers. They are
alive and well, but they are quiet, because they think they are alone.
The problem then, is as big as it is basically simple - show, in tangible
ways, that the young Nixon supporter is not alone.
The corallary to this fact is, lack of vocal supporters. The President's
record is often misunderstood, distorted or simply not presented at all.
The youth campaign's basic attack on this situation is a two pronged one:
1) get the record across and, 2) show young people before their peers,
enthusiastically and sincerely supporting the President.
The first three months (January, February and March), of the program, were
spent organizing and putting into effect a system of getting the best in-
formed and well known supporters of the President into the field. We put
First Family, on down through the Cabinet, White House Staff, Administra-
tion and GOP members of Congress, before every group of young people that
could be found.
One of the changes made to widen our scope, was to rephrase turndowns of
invitations to the President, from youth forums, so that an alternate
was offered and supplied through Pat O'Donnell's office, in the White
House. The goal - about 90% successful - was to see to it that every
group asking for the President was provided, with someone to speak, in the
President's behalf. The last 10% did not want anyone other than the Pres-
ident or, in some cases, arrangements, just could not be made.
A second part of this effort was to establish contacts in as many youth
organizations as possible to try to get speakers before their larger ga-
therings. As a result, we were able to get speakers in front of the 10
state student council conventions left in the school year, 20 of the key
clubs state conventions and 18 of the (major) Boys State Conventions.
Letters from the President were conveyed and read by our spokesmen before
Youth Campaign's Spokesman Resource Program

each gathering. The greatest success, however, has been among the voca-
tional student organizations - Distributive Education Clubs, Vocational
Industrial Clubs, Future Farmers, Future Homemakers, Future Business
Leaders and the Office Education Association. 65 of their key state and
national conventions had supporters of the President speak to them rang-
ing from members of the First Family to the youngest members of the
White House staff. (We have found that the 10-12 young White House staf-
fers are one of our most effective resources in that their youth and close-
ness to the President combine, to relate the young person in the audience
vicariously with the President).
Our goal, with the vocational students - a 1.5 million segment of the
youth population, usually overlooked by both Parties - has been to de-
velop an identification with the President, and through speakers - most
of their state conventions had never had a speaker from Washington or
letters or messages from the President to their leadership and state
conventions. In addition, there have been visible symbols of his interest
and faith in their activities such as the appointment of JoAnn Cullen
to the National Advisory Council on Vocational Education. JoAnn, at 19,
is the youngest female appointment the President has made. She is working
actively for us among the vocational young people as well as being a key
spokesman for us.
The culmination of this program, to identify the President with these young
people, is the current series of appearances by members of the First Family,
before their national conventions. (Julie at DECA and VICA, Mrs. Nixon at
FBLA and probably the FHA, Ed Nixon at the OEA, Mrs. Agnew at the FHA).
In addition to the work with youth organizations, 51 major college appear-
ances by high level speakers have been made since April 1. (Many more were
made before we began keeping track).
PHASE II:
The second - and current - phase of our program, is the development of
youth speakers bureaus in the states. State Senators, the "Friends of
Richard Nixon" and other state officials play a conspicuous role in this.
However, the broad base of this program is to be the grass roots - young
people talking to other young people. By recruiting, training and schedul-
ing hundreds of young people to speak in behalf of the President before
other young people we believe we'll have one - perhaps the only one - of
the most effective means of cracking the peer group pressure syndrome. We
are going to show as many young people as we can find that their are other
young people ready to stand up and enthusiastically support the President.
Youth Campaign's Spokesman Resource Program
Page Three
The program is operated by a young volunteer as state spokesman resource
director, who recruits the initial group of young people and holds a
traning session, usually under the direction of Ken Smith. Deputy dir-
ectors are detailed by region and, in some cases, by county. They in
turn, set about recruiting more speakers and begin the scheduling process.
All are added to our mailing list. They not only fill requests, but also
begin an agressive campaign to search out other speaking opportunities
and get our people into as many places as possible.
Our goal is to have in place, by the beginning of September, a nationwide
network of thousands of young people responding to every vocal request
for a speaker and aggressively searching out every speaking opportunity
available. It is our belief, that this will be one of the few ways of
reaching the non-college young on a person to person basis - in his church,
fraternal, social, vocational and service organization.
At this point, we have over 500 young people committed as youth spokesman
for the President located in Michigan, Oregon, Wisconsin, Colorado and
California. Programs have just begun in New York, Virginia, Indiana, Texas,
Florida, Utah and New Jersey. In California we have over 150 young people
who, in two weeks after the program was set up, spoke in 49 high schools,
in the San Diego and Sacramento area.

FROM:
WILLIAM E. TIMMONS
SUBJECT:
272 Convention - Welcoming
It is my understanding that Governor Reubin Askew was never formally
invited to give a welcoming speech at the opening session of the
Republican National Convention. Rumors were around that he expected
to welcome the Republican delagates, and Dick Herman called the
Governer's assistant to investigate the information. Later, Askew's
side called Herman back and stated yes, that the Governor anticipated
a welcoming address at the GOP event.
Herman, working through several sources, tried to get word to Askew
that it might be embarrassing for both parties if the Governor
appeared at our August convention. We might expect delegate booing
because Askew would have given the Democratic keynote address just
five weeks before.
Regardless of the public remarks by Askew's press assistant, the
Governor has not finally indicated his intention. Therefore, it is
possible for Herman to contact the Governor and deny him an oppor-
tunity to address our assembly. However, we should be aware of
some serious problems inherent in this decision:
1. The Governor was most helpful in securing the bid for the
GOP. We would be ungrateful if we de not acknowledge his help.
2. It has been traditional that the Governor and Mayor, re-
gardless of party affiliation, of the host state and city walcome
political conventions. It shows bipartisan support for the insti-
tution.
3. Askew is "king kong" regarding security for the GOP affair.
He alone must commit National Guard troops, as required, and requests
from the President for Federal assistance if that should be necessary.
-2-
If he decides to play polities over the security issue it could
be very embarrassing.
I recommend that Herman continue to work privately to convince
Governor Askey that, under the circumstances, be should decline
to make 8 welcoming address at our convention. As a backup
position, should Askew insist, I recommend that Senator Gurney
introduce Askew, Mayor Hall, and then wrap up the welceming
portion of the first convention session.
Please advise soonest.

SUBJECT:
Governor Wallace's Ballot Position
in New Jersey.
As I have indicated in an earlier memorandum, New Jersey
enthusiasts have obtained a ballot position in New Jersey for
Governor Wallace for the November Election. It has been sugg-
ested to me by Mr. Colson that I instigate a law suit in New
Jersey to challenge the petition for ballot position.
N.J.S.A. 19: 13-10 provides:
"Every petition of nomination in apparent con-
formity with the provisions of this title shall be
deemed to be valid, unless objection thereto be
duly made in writing and filed with the officer with
whom the original petition was filed within two days
after the last day for filing of petitions has
expired
"
We confirmed at the time of filing, and have reconfirmed now that
the American Party properly qualified with valid petitions prior
to the April 27 deadline, and the petitions are in order.
It is my opinion that Governor Wallace's New Jersey ballot position
could not be successfully challenged. Furthermore, to attempt to
do so would be harmful should we have any hope of receiving the
Governor's support if the Governor does not opt to run as a third
party candidate.
I therefore recommend that we not attempt to have the New Jersey
ballot position challenged.

SUBJECT:
Court Ruling on Michigan Registration Law
You asked me on my visit to Michigan yesterday to look into the
point that Gordon Strachan raised about the court directed change
in Michigan voter registration practices. I discussed the matter
with Doyle Dodge of the Nixon Re-election Committee. It had been
the practice in the past in Michigan to purge from the registration
rolls all persons who did not vote in the even-year elections.
The court recently ruled that such frequent purging was unconsti-
tutional and that those persons purged from the list had to be
restored to the voter rolls.
Because Republicans vote in higher proportions and are more
careful about re-registering to stay on the voter rolls, the
greater benefit of this court ruling accrued to the Democrats.
The number of 600,000 Democrats returned to the voter rolls
which Gordon cited may be true. The point to remember, however,
is that the Democrats, through unions and through organizations
in the minority communities have been conducting comprehensive
registration drives in the state throughout this election year.
It is probable that they would have restored many of these people
to the rolls in any case.
In summary, this court ruling is certainly not favorable to
Republicans, but on the other hand, since it only restores
Democrats who at some time or another were on registration
rolls, and probably would have returned to the rolls on election
day, its impact will be substantially less than 600,000 voters.

(Copy to follow by mail)
(By telephone to Carolyn Ream, Peter Flanigan's Office, 7:30 p. m., EDT
July 16, 1972)
Dear Mr. President:
I've recently reached a decision that's important to me, and, as multi-
plied by November's electoral millions, to you, too, You have my
vote, and roy support, in the election this Fall.
All my voting life I've been a registered Independent, on the theory
that neither party has a monopoly on able meo. I've voted confidently
for candidates in both columns of the same ballot, unpersuaded by the
rhetoricians of both parties who would convince me of the malevolent
stupidity of the other's candidates. Novertheless, until now I've
always voted for the Democratic candidate for President.
As you began your Administration in 169, I watched events with the
careful concern of someone whold voted for the other men. As time
went on, though, I've found myself agreeing with your positions on
most public questions, and supporting with more and more confidence
the harsh choices you made. Now, at the end of what I hope and
believe will be only the first half of your Presidency, I think you have
done as well as any man could have to guide the country through a
most difficult time.
The decisions you have made and the directions you have indicated in
critical areas of the economy, defense, and social services have
convinced me that you have charted a course that can take the country
through the years ahoud with a confidence that is not foolhardy, the
compassion our nation and the world cries for, and the courage that
surely is a prime need of any man who stands as President of the
United States.
I wish you well,
Sincerely,
Charlesa Heaton

MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. DWIGHT CHAPIN
FROM:
DE VAN L. SHUMWAY Va
SUBJECT:
American Legion National Convention
I am quite aware that the attached proposal for a Presidential
appearance has been turned down. However, this is to urge you
to do everything in your power to help reverse that decision.
Larry O'Brien has been negotiating with members of the American
Legion to allow the Democratic nominee to address the National
Convention. The Commander has indicated strongly that he is
prepared to provide the keynote address time slot Tuesday night
to McGovern if the President turns it down.
The combination of a turndown and an appearance in a key time
slot by McGovern will have an adverse impact on the membership
of the American Legion, especially the leadership. They have
consistently been publicly and vocally among the President's
strongest advocates on foreign policy, national defense, and
Vietnam. The potential in this scenario for adverse publicity
to the campaign and convention week is substantial.
The original invitation for the President to be the keynote
speaker at the opening joint session on August 22, 1972 at Mc-
Cormick Place, Chicago. However, I am advised that primary
alternate times would be the morning general sessions Wednesday,
August 23 and Thursday, August 24. If the President would agree
to appear at the Thursday morning session, the Legion would most
likely consider dropping the opening joint session all together.
This would necessitate George McGovern appearing at a routine
general business session Wednesday morning. McGovern's reception
would be a cool one if the membership is assured that the President
will attend.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
J. CURTIS HERGE
FROM:
FRANK NAYLOR
SUBJECT:
Presidential Appearance at the American
Legion National Convention in Chicago
As per your memo and Bill Rhatican's concerning the Presidential
appearance at the American Legion convention, I believe an
additional input from your office will be helpful. As I have
indicated in a prior memo, I have discussed the importance of
this appearance with both Fred Malek and John Mitchell. It
is my judgment that if in the veterans area there was to
be only one Presidential appearance during the campaign, the
American Legion convention in Chicago is the event which must
be attended by the President.
For your background, the following factors I believe justify
this conclusion:
The American Legion is the largest organized veterans
group in the country with 2.7 million members. The
Legion membership tends to be more white collar and
conservative in makeup than other major veterans
organizations. Its officers and the vast majority
of its members have consistently and strongly
backed the President's initiatives in national
defense, amnesty and particularly in Vietnam.
The Legion, along with the VFW, played a major role
in generating positive response in behalf of the
President's most recent Vietnam initiatives. The
Legion's National Commander has already issued a
statement in support of the President's peace
initiatives in Russia.
With the prospect of a McGovern candidacy, it can be
anticipated even among Democratic members of the Legion
and other prominent veterans organizations will move
to strongly support the President and form the core
of a grass roots middle American volunteer base for
the President.
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
The National American Legion convention, with an
estimated attendance in excess of 20,000, will
provide the best forum for the President to solidify
and generate a high level of enthusiastic support
during the final stages of the campaign.
In addition, the Legion national leadership has been
given strong reason and has planned accordingly to
expect a Presidential appearance at their convention.
This resulted from the following previous statements:
1. The President has personally and verbally
advised both the present and immediate past
national commander of the American Legion
that he would attend the AL convention
in Chicago.
2. Upon several occasions with numerous
veteran leaders of the VFW and AL, the
President has advised them that he is
unable to attend both conventions in
the same year. Therefore, he would
alternate between the two organizations
on a year to year basis. He has
generally followed this practice and
it is the understanding of these two
major organizations that this is the
year for a Presidential appearance at
the Legion convention.
3. No Presidential candidate or incumbent,
with the exception of Eisenhower in
1956 who could not attend because
of illness, has failed to appear
before the AL convention in an election
year since WWII.
Based on these factors, the present Legion commander, a Republican
and strong supporter of the President; has already taken special
action to provide a unique forum for the President on the evening
of August 22nd. The national leadership of the legion is already
generally anticipating a Presidential appearance at their convention.
A commitment on this proposed appearance is particularly urgent if
an alternate time period is required. The convention schedule will
have to be locked up by the end of this week.
-3-
Based on political considerations presented above, an inability of
the President to make this appearance could produce a very serious
negative affect on what is now a potentially strong base of grass
roots support for the President in this campaign.
With regard to the VFW, this organization has also demonstrated
strong support for the President in the same basic issue areas as
the American Legion. Therefore, from a political standpoint, it is
important that the Vice President appear at the VFW convention. As
a result of the understanding between the Legion and the VFW, they
do not expect a Presidential appearance, but are anticipating an
appearance by the Vice President at their convention. The VFW is
the second largest organization with 1.7 million members and with
the Legion constitutes the basic core of organized veteran support
for the President.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Minds Meet - And Mesh
In contrast to the Democratic State Convention, the recent Republi-
can meeting was a straightforward affair. Compromise, where neces-
sary in the drafting of the resolutions or selection of delegates,
met the highest standards of the political art. Meetings of the
minds were effected openly and honestly, with none of the "hand-
shakes with crossed fingers" which characterized awkward bedmaking
at the Democratic conclave. We can be confident that the Michi-
gan delegation to the National Convention will truly represent the
majority of Republicans in the state.
November Three-For-All
The first meeting of the convention - at 3 p.m. Friday in the
Hilton Hotel - was a joint effort by the Michigan Nixon Committee,
Sen. Griffin's group, and the regular party organization. Respec-
tive speakers were Jack Gibbs, Robert Young and William McLaughlin.
Speaking in turn, aided by slides and two hilarious skits presented
by civic theater players, they unveiled an exciting game plan for
this year's campaign.
Nucleus of the plan is a wedding between the oldest political
necessity - face to face voter contact - and a computer supported
systems approach to identifying voters. Target precincts, areas
with high Republican concentrations and/or ticket splitting, have
already been pin pointed. Volunteers with computer print-outs of
voters will ring each doorbell, talk to each voter and potential
voter, and determine which ones support Senator Griffin and the
President. The information collected will go back to the computer,
which will organize it and issue new print-outs to be used for
rifle shot registration drives aimed at registering Republican
supporters.
Store-front phone centers so well organized that receiver never
touches cradle were also explained to the more than 200 persons
attending the meeting, as were In-Home Hostess phone centers, in
which telephone canvassing becomes "phone fun. Both these systems
have been successfully tested in other states.
Republican grass-roots campaigning this year will make Democratic
efforts look like desultory weed pulling. But, as the salesmen
chant in "The Music Man, 11 you gotta know the territory. Our
computers and systems will only work as hard as we make them work -
we've got to get out there and go with the tough but fun canvas-
sing, registration and get-out-the-vote drives!
THE PARTY PARTAKES
The poshly paneled elevators of the Industrial Building whisked
at least 600 conventioneers to Suite 1200, headquarters of the
Michigan Committee For The Re-Election Of The President,
Friday night for an evening of conviviality. Beer, hot dogs and
pop were served, friendships were made, renewed, strengthened;
politics were talked. By every measurement, the party was a
success.
THE BABY BLITZ OF INGHAM AND KENT
A pilot "blitz canvas" was conducted in Ingham and Kent Counties
Saturday, June 24. This was the first test of the computerized
Voter Identification Program; generally, it went well.
Door to door volunteers in Kent and Ingham were assisted and
observed by staff people from the Michigan Committee, the
Griffin group, and State Central. Minor "bugs" in the system
were found and are being worked out. Most pervasive bug seemed
to be in the communicating of instructions to the volunteers.
The system itself, and the materials for implementing it, worked
very well.
UPCOMING CANVASSING
By July 8, all counties will be contacted and their strengths
and needs regarding target precinct canvassing evaluated.
By mid-July, computer print-outs of voters for all counties will
be available and blitzing will begin in earnest.
By August 15, canvassing for the Voter Identification Program
will be completed. Results will be incorporated with names
already in the computer to be used for the sending of position
papers from President Nixon and Senator Griffin, the Registration
Drive, and to print out poll lists for all target precincts in
the state.
APPOINTMENTS
A number of key volunteers have joined the Michigan Committee
since the last newsletter. In no particular order, they include:
Arthur G. Elliot, Troy resident and former State Central Chairman,
is Deputy Chairman of the Michigan Committee. He is Jack Gibbs'
right-hand man and his long years of experience - he got into
politics in 1952 at the precinct level - will add much to the
campaign.
Dennis Nystrom, Field Organization Director, has final responsi-
bility for appointment and overall direction of all county and
district chairmen in Michigan. Coordinators report directly to
him from three regions - the six county Metropolitan Detroit area,
"outstate" counties south of Midland, and "upstate" counties north
of Midland County, including the Upper Peninsula.
Catharine Gibson, Woodland Beach housewife, artist, and longtime
political activist, is Women's Political Advisor; she acts as a
special liaison between the Michigan Committee and the Republican
Women's Federation of Michigan. Mrs. Gibson was formerly Vice
Chairman of the National Republican Committee.
Walker Graham, Detroit advertising executive, is Special Events
Director, the guy in charge of making the campaign fun and
interesting as well as effective. Walker and his committee are
working on a wacky bowling contest in the fall, among many, many
other ideas.
Jay Tolboldt, an adman with degrees in both Business Administration
and Music, is the "people who brought you the November - Three-For-
All. " His elaborate script for that event caused some of the most
"listenable" speechmaking ever heard at a convention. Jay is
coordinator of training and manuals writing.
David McKinnon, Vice President of Finance, K-Mart Enterprises, Inc.,
is the Michigan Committee Treasurer, charged with handling deposits
and disbursements in accordance with the new election laws.
Marilynn Gosling, Bloomfield Hills resident with heavy political
experience, is Chairman of the Speaker's Bureau. She helps match
speakers with audiences, a task requiring great energy and, some-
time, uncommon tact and diplomacy.
Robert Webster, Detroit Attorney well versed in school litiga-
tion, is the Committee's Legal Counsel. His main function is to
make sure we comply with all aspects of the complex new election
laws.
James Tuttle, Detroit Edison Director of Residential and Rural
Marketing, is Tours Director for the campaign. He'll help make
arrangements for swings through the state by surrogate candidates
and other crowd attracting personalities.
Montgomery Shepard, President of Berrien County Abstract and Title
Co., is the Michigan Committee's Finance Chairman. Montgomery
has been involved in Republican Party Politics ever since he can
remember; he once shook the hand of Calvin Coolidge in the White
House.
YOUTHFUL HEADQUARTERS STAFF
At least five mornings every week a group of reasonably long-
haired men and fashionably short-skirted women troop into the
Michigan Committee's Headquarters at Grand River and Washington
Blvd. in downtown Detroit. Their obvious youth - ten are
under 30 - emphasize the fact that the Republican Party has
more appeal for the young than is commonly admitted.
The ten "youngsters" plus Executive Director Doyle Dodge and
Finance Committee Coordinator Charles Bieneman, are the nucleus
of the headquarter's staff involved in this year's Michigan
presidential campaign. Many of you met them during the conven-
tion but we'll run through the introductions again for those
who weren't present, with ladies first, of course.
Isabel Conlan, 25, serves as secretary to Doyle Dodge, a job
which includes functions handled by office managers in fatter
organizations than ours. She keeps the workload evenly distri-
buted, handles the payroll, and helps make sure we conform to
the intricate new election laws.
Doris Peterson, also 25, is titled "receptionist" but her
degree in education from Wayne State University qualifies her
as a kind of "emergency assistant" for anyone in the office.
To some degree, Doris has been involved in every project so far.
Ewa Matuszewski, 20, a pre-law junior at Wayne State, is Ethnic
Programs Coordinator. Her task is to help ethnic groups shake
off Democratic Party dominance and vote Republican this year.
She speaks Polish, Ukrainian and French, and can "get by" in
Russian, Czechoslovakian, Lithuanian and other Slavic tongues.
Mary Egbert, 18, one of the newest additions to the staff, is
State Volunteer Coordinator. She is a sophomore at. Michigan
State University majoring in socio-economics. Her job is to
help recruit, place, and keep track of the growing number of
volunteers offering their services to this year's campaign.
Ruth Ann Haupt, 27, also a new staffer, is press section
secretary. She injects legibility into press releases, clips
newspapers for our reference file and helps with the news media
monitoring program. As with everyone else on the staff, Ruth Ann
pitches in wherever her talents are needed.
Dianne Phillips, 25, is secretary to Chuck Bieneman, helping with
fund raising activities. She was a fund raising coordinator for
the March of Dimes and coordinated that group's Walk-A-Thon in
Detroit in May. She is working towards a degree in business
administration at Macomb Community College. (Chuck, as most of
you already know, is a management consultant specializing in
fund raising and political campaigns. His years of experience
include a five-year stint as associate director of the State
Finance Committee and the United Republican Fund.)
Bill Hazen, 28, Outstate Coordinator, has been recruiting
county Chairman in Lower Peninsula counties outside the Detroit
area. He will help Michigan Committee groups in each county
implement voter identification, voter registration and other
programs. Bill majored in reading at Arizona State University
and was a consultant to the Arizona State Department of Educa-
tion before returning to Michigan to work in politics.
Don Carino, 24, is Metropolitan Coordinator, with responsibili-
ties in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, St. Clair, and Washtenaw
Counties. He'll be helping county and district groups identify
and register the President's supporters in those areas. Don is
a sociology graduate from John Carrol University in Cleveland,
where he also worked as a news production assistant in radio and
television.
Greg Newell, 22, is Voter Services Coordinator, charged with
statewide coordination of Voter Identification and Voter Registra-
tion. He makes sure the new systems, with their computer support
under-pinning, work as planned. A graduate of Brigham Young
University, Greg served as a Mormon missionary for 2½ years in
France, Belgium and Luxembourg, and also briefly instructed
French at Brigham Young before joining the Michigan Committee.
Peter Sorum, 25, rounds out the list of under 30 activists
manning the headquarters. Pete, our Youth Activities Director,
has been storming the allegedly Democratic youth bloc, finding
much enthusiasm for the President. He has taken a leave of
absence from his job as Assistant to the Registrar of Michigan
State University to work on the campaign.
Bill Spinelli, 31, is the Special Citizens Group Coordinator
working with veterans, senior citizens, farmers, and other groups
of voters not falling within the purview of Pete Sorum or Ewa
Matuszewski. A former captain in the Air Force, Bill comes to
us from Macomb County Community College, where he was adminis-
trative Assistant. He is a biology graduate from St. Johns
University in New York and attended the University of Detroit
Law School for two years.
Mike Niemann, 32, is Press Relations Director. He writes press
releases, sets up press conferences, and generally helps the news
media gather and report information about the campaign accurately,
fairly and completely. Mike was Editor of the Grand Rapids Press
"Action Line" column before joining the staff. He is a graduate
of the University of Detroit.
Mary Ann Phillips, 25, is "political secretary" for Jack Gibbs.
She is former National Coordinator for the annual Punt, Pass and
Kick Contest, and is a sophomore at Wayne State majoring in psychology.

Projected Schedule
Attached is a listing of the scheduled appearances of the surrogate
candidates and other leading spokesmen through September 1, 1972.
We would like to advise the surrogate candidates that our Research
Division has prepared political fact books on the various states.
Each book contains a wealth of information which a speaker should
be acquainted with before he or she appears in a state. As each
book is prepared, it will be sent to the surrogate candidates
automatically. If revisions are required, substitute or additional
pages will be sent automatically.
We would also like to remind each scheduler to keep us advised
of scheduled events, so that they can be included in future
editions of this projection. In doing so, we would appreciate
it if you would note the time of the event.

FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Youth Appearances
As you know, we are now in the process of scheduling the appearances of
the surrogate candidates and other leading spokesmen for the fall. Through-
out the spring of this year, we have scheduled nearly 500 youth events and
we believe that the number of speaking requests for the fall will be tripled.
We must, however, take an aggressive course of action in scheduling further
youth events, and we ask for your cooperation in this respect. In so many
places the President's record as it relates to young people is distorted,
misunderstood, or simply not presented. We have begun the process of chang-
ing that, but we will need your full cooperation for the campaign. We would
appreciate it if you would try to schedule a youth event when you are placing
your surrogate for any other event. Any college speaking request - along with
similar events - can be checked out with us.
It is a sizeable task we have ahead, but time and again, experience has shown
that when the President's record is thoroughly understood, he consistantly
attracts a majority of young people's support. It is up to all of us to make
that record known.
Thank you for your cooperation.

WASHINGTON -- Clark MacGregor, Director of President Nixon's re-election
campaign, today announced that James S. Erwin, Maine's Attorney General,
has been named Chairman of the Maine Committee for the Re-election of
the President.
Edward P. (Ned) Harding, Freeport, who has been acting as state
chairman, has been named the Committee's Finance Chairman and will con-
tinue as Co-Chairman.
Mrs. Donna Tibbetts, Bangor, will also continue as Co-Chairman.
Mr. MacGregor expressed gratification that Mr. Erwin was under-
taking "the huge demands in time and energy that a presidential campaign
makes on a state chairman" and predicted that "with Mr. Erwin's leadership
we feel completely confident that Maine will continue to be a leader in
the Nixon column."
Long active in Maine Republican politics, Mr. Erwin ran against
Gov. Kenneth M. Curtis in 1970 in a race that was so close a re-count
was held and Curtis was elected by fewer than'a thousand votes.
Mr. Harding has been an active Nixon supporter since 1960
when he was assistant director of National Volunteers for Nixon-Lodge,
Washington, D. C. In 1968, he was chairman of the Maine Nixon for
President Committee and chairman of the Maine United Citizens for Nixon-
Agnew.

"I am thoroughly delighted that one of Maine's outstanding
Republican citizens has agreed to assume this leadership position in
the 1972 campaign for the re-election of the President," Mr. Harding
said.
Mr. Erwin praised President Nixon's leadership as "responsible,
creative, realistic and highly successful" and said that "when historians
come to judge the Nixon years
the eight Nixon years
they
are going to record them as some of the most important and productive
years this nation has witnessed."
Mr. Erwin graduated from Dartmouth College in 1942 and earned
his law degree from Columbia University Law School in 1949.
He has been Maine's Attorney General since 1967 and his
term of office continues through December, 1972.
He served as a member of the Maine Senate in 1961-1962 and as
a member of the Maine House of Representatives in 1965-67.
A member of numerous business, political, çivic and charitable
organizations, Mr. Erwin is a member of the American, Maine and York County
Bar Associations, was president of the Maine Bar Association in 1967-1968 and
has been a member of the Association's executive committee since 1961.

WASHINGTON, July 3 -- Clark MacGregor, newly-named Campaign Director
of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, today named
Frederic V. Malek and Jeb S. Magruder to be Deputy Campaign Directors.
Malek, who has been a Special Assistant to the President, has
been informally assisting the campaign for several months. Responsible
for all field personnel and national citizens organizations, he will
assume his duties immediately.
Magruder, who has been with the Committee as Campaign Coordinator
and Chief of Staff since it was established in May, 1971, will be
responsible for campaign operations including planning, polling, press
relations, advertising and scheduling.
"Mr. Malek's appointment strengthens our determination to
step up efforts to develop grass roots organizations in every state
during the final months of the campaign," MacGregor said.
"I find the planning which John Mitchell directed while he
was Campaign Director to be superb, "MacGregor said. "Jeb Magruder's
abilities as Deputy Campaign Director will help us maintain continuity
and build on the outstanding structure which Mr. Mitchell left us."
MacGregor also said that Fred C. LaRue, who served as Special
Assistant to his predecessor, will continue in that capacity.

MacGREGOR APPOINTMENTS IN NIXON CAMPAIGN
In announcing the addition of Malek to the campaign staff,
MacGregor emphasized the planned development of "accelerated operations
in every state to do the best possible job of identifying and registering
voters and getting them to the polls in November."
Commenting on his appointment, Malek said, "Developing and
mobilizing grass roots support is the most fundamental aspect of
any campaign. We are going to try to guarantee that President Nixon
has this support on election day."
Malek has been the President's top advisor on personnel and
related matters since September, 1970. Prior to that, he was Deputy
Under Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare,
where his responsibilities included the direction of operational
matters and the leadership of a Department-wide effort to improve
management methods.
Magruder, who served as Deputy Director of Communications
for the Executive Branch before joining the campaign, said, "I was
pleased and honored to have served under John Mitchell while this
campaign was being put together, and I am looking forward to continuing
under Clark MacGregor."
