NORTH CAROLINA FINANCE CHAIRMAN
WASHINGTON -- Charlotte banking executive Patrick N. Calhoun will direct
fund-raising activities in North Carolina for President Nixon's re-election
campaign, according to Maurice Stans, chairman of the national Finance Committee
to Re-elect the President.
Mr. Henry A. Mitchell, Jr., Raleigh attorney will serve as treasurer and
legal counsel to the state finance committee. He served in a similar capacity
in President Nixon's 1968 campaign.
Mr. Calhoun is executive vice president in charge of business development
with the North Carolina National Bank.
A native of Atlanta, Georgia, and a graduate of Clemson University,
he began his banking career in 1932 with the Guaranty Trust Company in New
York. In 1955 he joined the Guilford National Bank in Greensboro as executive
vice president, becoming president in 1958. Two years later he joined the
North Carolina National Bank.

Jeb passed along your June 20 on Jack Anderson's column.
We certainly will slip in our inexpensive travel in
future stories or interviews -- but to raise the issue
on our own would renew the financial reporting matter
which would not be to our advantage.

June 30, 1972
Dear Mr. President:
Your words of friendship and understanding when we met
today meant more to me than I can possibly convey in this letter.
I have long believed and often said that nothing is
more important to the future of our country than your re-election
as President. I had looked forward eagerly to devoting all my time
and energy to that result. I have found, however, that I can no
longer do so on a full time basis and still meet the one obligation
which must come first: the happiness and welfare of my wife and
daughter. They have patiently put up with my long absences for
some four years, and the moment has come when I must devote more
time to them.
Relatively few men have the privilege of serving a
President of the United States. In my case, the privilege has
been special indeed, because I have admired so fully the wisdom
and strength of your leadership.
As I said today, I shall continue to work for your re-
election, and I shall always be grateful for your unfailing friendship
and confidence.
Sincerely,
John N. Mitchell
The President

TEXT OF LETTER FROM PRESIDENT RICHARD M. NIXON
TO JOHN N. MITCHELL
July 1, 1972
Dear John:
I thoroughly understand and appreciate the compelling reasons
for your decision to withdraw from full time political activity.
When you came to Washington, you made a most substantial
sacrifice, personal and financial. However, in my twenty-six
years of political life, I have often noted that the greater
sacrifice is usually the wife's, since she must not only share
the disappointments and the brickbats, but must accept the
frequent absence of a husband and father. I am well aware
that this has been particularly true of the Mitchell family,
and I am most appreciative of the sacrifice Martha and you
have both made in the service of the nation.
For my part, it is reassuring to know that your wise counsel
will continue to be available, and I certainly shall call
on you as your time will allow.
Pat joins me in sending our warmest regards to Martha, Marty,
and to you.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
July 10, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MAC GREGOR
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
GLENN J. SEDAM, JR.
SUBJECT:
SENATOR MC GOVERN'S OPPORTUNITIES AS A
CANDIDATE OF A FOURTH PARTY
Senator McGovern does have available a hedge against an unsuccessful
bid for the Democratic Party nomination. If the Senator does bolt
the party, as he has threatened to do, he can step into the fourth
party shell built over the past year by Dr. Benjamin Spock.
We have reviewed the laws of each of the fifty states of the United
States, and the District of Columbia, in order to determine those
states in which the People's Party, New Party, Peace & Freedom Party
(Dr. Spock) will be on the ballot in November, to determine those
states in which those parties will be precluded from being on the
presidential ballot, and to determine further what steps must be
taken in order to qualify on the ballot in those states in which
it is still possible for them to qualify.
Further, we have reviewed the legal status of the People's Party,
New Party, Peace & Freedom Party in each state, and have reviewed
the requirements a minor or new party must meet in order to place
its candidate on the general election ballot. We have also reviewed
the requirements which must be met by an independent candidate to
qualify for ballot inclusion.
As the attached material will indicate, Dr. Spock's fourth party has
already obtained ballot position in the following four states:
Colorado
Idaho
Kentucky
New Jersey
A fourth party can not. obtain ballot position in the following twelve
states for in such states the final dates for filing have passed with-
out the necessary filings having been made:
Arkansas
Michigan
Georgia
Nebraska
Hawaii
Ohio
Kansas
Pennsylvania
Maine
Utah
Maryland
West Virginia
The Honorable Clark MacGregor
July 10, 1972
Page 2
In the remaining 35 states a fourth party can yet obtain ballot position;
it can do so by petition in the following 29 states:
Alaska
New Hampshire
Arizona
New Mexico
Connecticut
New York
District of Columbia
North Carolina
Florida
North Dakota
Illinois
Oklahoma
Indiana
Rhode Island
Louisiana
South Carolina
Massachusetts
South Dakota
Minnesota
Tennessee
Mississippi
Texas
Missouri
Vermont
Montana
Virginia
Nevada
Wisconsin
Wyoming
by convening a state or party convention or caucus in
the following four states:
Alabama
California
Delaware
Washington
by either a convention or petition in the following two
states:
Iowa
Oregon
In the above states where qualification is by convention generally
compliance with state law would be merely procedural.
In the states which require petitions, acquiring the requisite number
of signatures does not appear to present a serious obstacle to qualif-
ication in the following states:
Iowa
Louisiana
Rhode Island
Minnesota
Tennessee
Mississippi
Vermont
New Hampshire
Wisconsin
North Dakota
Washington
Petitions are currently being circulated to acquire in New York, 20,000
signatures, and in Texas, 22,200 signatures. In Texas a three judge court

has been empaneled to review the filing deadline under Texas law, and
pending that review, the deadline has been extended to September 1st.
In Iowa administrative challenge to the validity of the selection of
presidential electors and chairman at the Peace and Freedom Party Con-
vention has not been determined.
Attached are analyses of each state and of the District of Columbia,
constituting Exhibit A to this memorandum. Also attached, and consti-
tuting Exhibit B to this memorandum, is a tabulated breakdown of the
basic information contained in the more detailed state-by-state survey.
As to Exhibit B, it should be noted that in most instances where "new
party" qualification is noted, Dr. Spock could also qualify as an "in-
dependent" candidate.
ALABAMA:
Dr. Spock can run as a candidate of a new
party, provided he timely filed a notice of intention
to run. No candidate may appear on the ballot who has
not by March 1 filed a declaration of intention of
becoming a candidate, except candidates filling
vacancies as party nominees. The Secretary of State
of Alabama declines to advise as to candidates filing a
declaration of intention.
Any political party or "faction" can nominate
candidates by holding a state convention and by certifying
its candidates to the Secretary of State sixty days
(September 9, 1972) prior to the election.
An independent candidate may obtain a place on
the ballot by filing a petition signed by 300 qualified
voters no later than the first Tuesday in May. No inde-
pendent petitions were filed prior to the filing deadline.
Statute:
17 Code of Ala., § 145.
ALASKA:
Dr. Spock can run as a new party or independent
candidate. A new party or independent candidate may be
nominated by a petition signed by voters equal to three
percent (2,547) of the votes cast in the preceding presiden-
tial election, which petition must be filed with the Lt.
Governor ninety days (August 10, 1972) prior to the general
election.
Statute:
Alaska Stat. §§ 15.1.60, 15.25.150, 15.30.025
and 15.60.010.
ARIZONA:
Dr. Spock can run as a candidate of a new party
provided that:
(1) He does not run in any primary election.
There is a statutory prohibition against a candidate running
as an independent (including new party) candidate if he ran
in a primary. Primaries are scheduled for September 12,
1972;
(2) He files with the Secretary of State by July
14, 1972 a petition signed by a number of qualified voters
equal to one percent of the vote cast for governor in the
last general election. All of these signatories must be
persons who do not vote for a candidate for the office in
question in the primary election and who have not signed
another independent petition for such office.
An independent candidate must file with the Secre-
tary of State a petition signed by a number of voters equal
to at least 2% of the number of votes cast for governor in
the last general election. Such petition must be filed by
July 14, 1972, which is at least sixty days and no more than
ninety days prior to the state primary election.
Statute:
A.R.S. §§ 16-202, 16-204 and 16-601.
ARKANSAS:
Dr. Spock cannot run in Arkansas, as all
applicable deadlines have passed.
A new political party may obtain a place on
the ballot by filing with the Secretary of State a
petition signed by a number of qualified voters equal
to at least seven percent of the total vote cast at
the last general election for governor or presidential
electors. The petition must be filed at least thirty
days (May 19, 1972) prior to 12 o'clock noon of the third
Tuesday of June (June 20, 1972) before the general election
in which the party wishes to participate. The American
Independent Party is the only new party qualifying by the
prescribed deadline.
Statute:
A.S.A. §§ 3-101(a), 3-105(c), 3-207, 3-113
and 3-121.
CALIFORNIA:
Dr. Spock can run as a candidate of the Peace
and Freedom Party, which is a recognized party in California.
The California statute apparently does not provide for a
cutoff date by which candidates of recognized parties must
be certified to the Secretary of State, it being assumed
that such certification will proceed immediately following
the parties' conventions.
A new party can be created in one of three ways:
(1) By having a group place an independent can-
didate on the ballot for the office of
Governor, which candidate receives two
percent or more of the vote; or
(2) As of the 135th day preceding the elec-
tion in which the party. wishes to run a
candidate, have a registration in such
new party equal to one percent of the
votes cast for Governor in the last
election; or
(3) Prior to the 135th day preceding the
election submit a petition signed by
qualified voters equal to at least ten
percent of the total vote for Governor
in the last gubernatorial election.
An independent candidate may obtain a place on the
ballot by filing a nomination petition signed by a number of
voters equal to at least five percent of the entire vote cast
in the last statewide election, which could as a practical
matter be very difficult to get. Each nomination petition must
be left with the county clerk of the county of registra-
tion of the voters who sign it for examination not more
than eighty-four nor less than sixty days before the
election in which the candidate desires to participate,
and must be filed with the Secretary of State no more than
seventy-nine nor less than fifty-four days before such
election. The independent candidate must not have been
defeated as a candidate for the office in question at the
primary election, no signatory of such nomination petition (s)
may have voted with respect to such office in the primary.
Such candidate is not allowed to have been affiliated with a
political party qualified to participate in a primary election
at the last preceding primary.

5, 1972) prior to the election.

such delegates attend or be seated at such
convention, or that the national convention
be of the new party).
(2) Hold a state convention no later than July
22, 1972, the fourth Saturday in July, at
which it elects a state committee and
nominates candidates for all elected posi-
tions to be voted on a statewide basis at
the next general election.
(3) Certify its nominees to the Secretary of
State no later than September 1, 1972.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA:
Dr. Spock can run as a new party candidate or
as an independent candidate.
A new party must submit its name to the Elections
Board for approval. If approved, it would then be required
to file by August 15th a petition signed by five percent of
the registered voters in the District of Columbia as of
July 1, 1972 (approximately 13,000 signatures).
An independent would proceed by petition as above.

petition must be filed in the office of the Secretary of
State by 12 noon, June 14, 1972. Such party must have filed
with its petition the minutes of its nominating convention,
which must have been held by May 9, 1972.

Freedom Party which has qualified by petition.
There is a requirement in Idaho that a party
convention must be held by June 30th and certify its
nominees to the Secretary of State immediately thereafter.
However, the office of the Secretary of State believes
that failure to do so would not bar a candidate of a
recognized party from running. This point has not yet
been challenged or resolved.
A new party may qualify by filing a petition
with the signatures of 1,500 qualified voters stating
their desire for recognition of such party, which petition
must be filed thirty days (May 30, 1972) prior to the
June 30 preceding election. It too, would then be re-
quired to hold a convention by June 30.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
JOHN DEAN
SUBJECT:
Potential Disruptions at the
Democratic National Convention
This is to serve as an update to our report of June 30 on the above
subject. Basically, there have been no significant changes during
this past week, and the convention is still not expected to attract
large numbers of demonstrators. To date, no public transportation
has been reserved to carry protestors to Miami Beach.
The proviously reported convention planned by the National Welfare
Rights Organization (NWRO) does not seem to be attracting as large
a number as had been anticipated. Currently, 2,000 participants
are claimed to have registered, but the actual number in attendance
appears to be far less. The other organizations planning to demon-
strate generally have failed to coordinate protest activities, which
should tend to lessen their impact. A tentative list of demonstrations
scheduled for the week is attached for your information.
Except for the Vieinam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) and the
ZIPPIE faction of the Youth International Party, all groups have stressed
an intention to remain peaceful during the convention. However, the
VVAW and ZIPPIES, neither of which can be controlled by other pro-
test leaders, will probably attempt to create confrontations with police.
Spokesmen for the Cuban exile group, Asociacion de Veteranos de Bahia
de Cochinos, Brigade 506, have requested authorization for 2,000
Cubans to demenstrate on July 10 and 15 in favor of the present Adminis-
tration. If permission is not granted, its leaders claim that Cuban work-
ers in hotels in Miami Beach will go on strike during the convention.
Other Cuban groups have also announced plans to stage protests against
any plank in the Democratic platform favoring negotiations with Castro.
Therefore, the potential for onfrontation is between demonstrators and
Cuban counter-demonstrators remains high.

THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL
FROM:

SUBJECT:
Liaison Between Pat Hutar and
the Political Coordinators
As a part of the national volunteer program, Pat Hutar will be
developing training manuals for voter registration, voter
identification and get-out-the-vote. These will be particularly
applicable in the 40 states where we will not be implementing
intensive programs of telephone centers and direct mail. It
will be necessary for Pat's training programs to be consistent
with the techniques which the Political Coordinators wish to
have the State Chairmen implement in those states. Accordingly,
Pat should be in close contact with them as the manuals are
being developed.
Operationally, that would best be accomplished by having one
Political Coordinator assigned to work with Pat and to take
the responsibility of assuring that the programmatic decisions
are agreed to by all of the other Coordinators.
Recommendation
That A1 Kaupinen be assigned to work closely with Pat for the
next few weeks while she is developing the material for the
training manuals. I would continue to oversee Pat's efforts
to assure that the training materials are produced on time.
It would be Al's responsibility to secure agreement among the
Political Coordinators on the specific volunteer programs and
training materials which are adopted.

The Jeno Paulucci Press Conference was held Monday, July 10, 1972,
at the Holiday Inn at 22nd and Collins in Miami Beach at 11:00 a.m.
under the auspices of Harris & Star, advertising agency.
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 10, 1972
STATEMENT BY JENO F. PAULUCCI ON BEHALF OF
CONCERNED DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS
I have come to Miami Beach today because I am an indepen-
dent voter and a citizen who is interested in what happens at
the Democratic Convention. This past week, a number of concerned
Democrats and Independents joined with me in a full-page newspaper
advertisement (which appeared in newspapers in leading U. S.
cities including Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis,
Washington, D.C., and Miami) expressing the fact that Senator
George McGovern has us worried.
In the past, we personally have supported at times Democra-
tic candidates for public office because they have stood for
freedom for the individual and self-determination, which has
made this country the envy of people around the world. The
Democratic Party, as we have known it, has been a responsible
party, offering reasonable programs and capable candidates to
the American people for decades.
That record of responsibility is in danger of being aban-
doned by this convention adopting a platform that is unacceptable
to a majority of Americans, and nominating a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States who advocates "way-out" views
on many of today's crucial issues, then the people of the U. S.
will abandon the Democratic Party.
For this reason, and because we and many million of Indepen-
-2-
dents and Democrats will always put the interest of our country
first and foremost, we are here to discourage the Democratic
Party, if we can, from nominating Senator George McGovern for the
Presidency.
The same reasons that prevent us from supporting George Mc-
Govern for the nomination will stop us from supporting him for
the Presidency, if he is nominated:
We cannot support a candidate whose defense policies
would leave our country and its allies dangerously exposed to
attack.
We cannot support a candidate who advocates amnesty
for those who fled service of their country, while others remained
to perform their duty
with some giving their lives in that
performance.
We cannot support a candidate who would destroy our abi-
lity to bargain for the return of American Prisoners of War.
We cannot support a candidate who would abandon the
concept of neighborhood schools, while encouraging the busing of
small children to distant neighborhoods.
We cannot support a candidate whose proposed excessive
and unreasonable spending programs would result in either
crushing tax increases or an erosion in the value of our currency
resulting from a bankrupt treasury.
With the help of many other Independents and Democrats, I
intend to do everything I can in the next few days to persuade
the delegates to this convention not to allow outside ideological
forces to wrest the Democratic Party from its traditional supporters.
-3-
We shall work with all our energy for the nomination of a res-
ponsible candidate in the progressive tradition of the Democratic
Party.
It is common knowledge that Hubert H. Humphrey is a
personal friend of mine, and I have supported him on many occa-
sions, but today I am here to convince delegates to nominate
any other candidate than George McGovern, who would destroy our
free enterprises system. If the Democrats are out to win, they
won't nominate George McGovern. If they do nominate him, they
will find there are not just nine of us whose names appeared in
the ad, but perhaps nine million or more Americans who feel as
concerned as we do about our country. We just won't allow the
U. S. to become a welfare state under McGovern.
Again, let me emphasize that I am here to do what I can
to convince delegates to nominate any candidate other than
George McGovern, such as Hubert Humphrey, Ted Kennedy, Wilbur
Mills, or Ed Muskie. On the other hand, if McGovern is nominated,
we are confident we could raise three to four million dollars or
more to support a third-party candidate, if necessary. Lacking
a third-party candidate, this same money could be spent on an
Anti-McGovern campaign.
Others, like myself, believe in America first! If this
convention fails to nominate a candidate who favors America first,
it shall have failed the Democratic Party, and this Democratic
Convention will have failed our country. That's why many Democrats
and Independents are concerned about George McGovern. America
needs a candidate with views on today's issues that won't prove
-4-
disastrous to the future of our country, and one who will
attract broad support from Americans. America first that's
our concern.

STATEMENT BY CLARK MACGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
Washington, July 19 -- The decision by the employees of
the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to disavow the American
Newspaper Guild's endorsement of Senator McGovern for
President deserves the acclaim and applause of every
American citizen who relies on newspapers as a source
of information on the important issues of our day.
The Guild was ill-advised in openly abandoning the
time-honored objective of the American press to confine
partisanship to editorial pages and I hope newspaper
reporters throughout the nation will follow the Star-Tribune
example in demanding a referendum on the endorsement.

GENERAL MARK CLARK IS SOUTH CAROLINA HONORARY CHAIRMAN
WASHINGTON, July 23 -- General Mark W. Clark, commander in
chief of U.S. forces in the Far East during the latter part
of the Korean War and later president of the Citadel from 1954
to 1965, will serve as honorary chairman of President Nixon's
South Carolina re-election campaign.
Announcement of General Clark's position was made today
by James M. Henderson of Greenville, chairman of the South
Carolina Committee for the Re-election of the President.
In a telegram to General Clark, President Nixon's national
campaign director, former Minnesota Congressman Clark MacGregor,
said: "We are most pleased that you are once again giving
your support to President Nixon. Your contribution to the
campaign, along with that of other members of your state
committee. and the President's many supporters in South Carolina,
will, I am sure, place the state solidly in the Nixon column
this November."
General Clark served as chairman of President Nixon's 1968
campaign in South Carolina.

MARK CLARK
In accepting his position, General Clark described President
Nixon as "a man of noble character, a man of great integrity,
courageous, capable, and with a strong faith in God and country."
"I believe he is the only one capable of restoring
the greatness and insuring the security of our country," he said.
Born in Madison Barracks, New York, General Clark was
graduated from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point in 1917 and
served in France during World War I. He was an instructor at
the Army War College at the outbreak of World War II. In 1942 he
laid the groundwork for future U.S. military operations in Great
Britain and played a leading part in planning the invasion of
North Africa.
In 1943 he became commanding general of the U.S. Fifth Army,
which he led from North Africa on its successful amphibious invasion
of Italy. At the end of the war he was commander of all allied
fighting forces in Italy. He later served as U. S. High Commissioner
for Austria.
In 1952 General Clark became commander in chief of the United
Nations Command and commanding general of U. S. Army forces in the
Far East, directing operations for the last year of the Korean War
and signing the armistice which ended hostilities in July, 1953.
In October of that year he retired from active service.
In 1954 he became president of the Citadel, the Military
College of South Carolina, in Charleston, a post he held until
his retirement in 1965. Since that time he has served as president
emeritus.

I called Kingsley and he had not heard from you anything

President Nixon's national campaign director Clark
MacGregor today praised selection of former state Senator
Harry L. Sears as New Jersey campaign chairman as "an outstanding
choice -- one which gives us even more reason to believe that
New Jersey will be firmly counted in the Nixon column in
November."
Sears' appointment was announced yesterday by Governor
William Cahill, chairman of the New Jersey Committee for the
Re-election of the President.
In a telegram to Sears, MacGregor said, "You and
Governor Cahill will, I am certain, provide us with extremely
capable, dedicated and effective leadership for the campaign
in New Jersey.
"I look forward to working with you and the Governor
in the weeks and months ahead," he said, "and I hope and expect
that many thousands of Democrats and Independents in New Jersey
will be joining you and all Republicans in the state in working
for the President's re-election.

New Jersey Nixon Campaign
" In selecting you to serve as campaign chairman,
the Governor has made an outstanding choice -- one which gives
us even more reason to believe that New Jersey will be firmly
counted in the Nixon column in November. "
MacGregor noted that Sears was "one of the first promi-
nent Republicans in New Jersey" to announce support for the
President in the 1968 campaign and that he worked "tirelessly
and most effectively to help the President secure the Republican
nomination and, subsequently to assure his election. "
Sears, 52, served in the state Assembly from 1962 until 1967
and in the Senate from 1968 until 1971, when he did not seek
re-election. He was Republican majority leader in the Senate.
After returning to private law practice in Morris County,
he served as chairman on the Governor's State Tax Policy
Committee.
A native New Jerseyan and a resident of Mountain Lake,
Sears is a graduate of Tusculum College in Tennesee and of the
Rutgers University Law School. A Navy veteran of World War II,
he served in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific Theaters.

SUBJECT:
Senator Dole
As you may know, it is customary for a Chairman of the Republican
National Committee to be elected on the last day of the Republican
Convention. It has come to my attention that Senator Bob Dole has
become anxious about whether there has been any determination on
the matter of his continuing in office.
Since we have been working very closely with the Republican
National Committee under his leadership and he has frequently
assisted us in working for the President's re-election, it would
appear that it would be natural for us to provide some form of
reassurance. However, this question is one which you should
determine in whatever manner you deem appropriate.
If a decision is made that the Senator should continue as National
Chairman, then it would be desirable for this to be communicated
to him at an early date. In addition, it would seem appropriate
that he have an opportunity to meet with the President so that the
Senator will be able to indicate to the Convention and to leaders
around the country that the decision was made carefully and was
communicated to him directly.

SUBJECT:
Potential Disruptions at the 1972
Republican National Convention
The Democratic National Convention provided some indication of the
potential level of disruptions that might be expected at the Republican
Convention. Basically, the demonstrators in Miami last week failed
to confront the Democratic Convention with sufficient numbers to cause
serious problems or to receive the amount of publicity that was desired.
No more than a total of 4,000 - 5,000 individuals engaged in protest
activity. Of this number, approximately 2, 500 were members of the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), National Welfare
Rights Organization (NWRO) and the National Tenants Organization
(NTO), which joined in demonstrations on behalf of poor people. None
of these three groups presently plan to return in August.
Approximately 2, 000, predominantly white, antiwar activists camped at
Flamingo Park. These individuals from numerous different militant
groups were never able to organize so as to form a united front. The
Miami Conventions Coalition (MCC), which had attempted to serve this
function, proved a failure in obtaining any agreement from so many
different views. Rennic Davis has now formed a new organization, the
Joint People's Action Coalition (JPAC), but it is doubtful that JPAC will
prove more successful than MCC.
A major problem of the individuals gathered at Flamingo Park was that
they were essentially leaderless. Although activists with a national
reputation such as Rennie Davis, Abbie Hoffman, David Dellinger and
Jerry Rubin were in Miami last week, they spent little time at Flamingo
Park and maintained no following of their own. It is not known at this
time whether these "leaders" will take a more active role with the demon-
strators in August.
-2-
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
Nor did the groups most prone toward violence achieve any success. The
ZIPPIE faction of the Youth International Party (YIP) revealed itself to
be ineffectual and was generally ostracized by the other demonstrators.
Due to the indictment of six of its leaders on charges of conspiring to
disrupt the Republican Convention, the Vietnam Veterans Against the
War (VVAW) became very bitter, but provoked no serious trouble.
However, despite their small size, VVAW retains the capacity for
violent tactics.
The organizers planning demonstrations for August still are very
wary of creating incidents at the Republican Convention that could be
used against Senator McGovern. Some even suspect that the Adminis-
tration intends to cause a confrontation for political purposes. Due
to this pessimistic assessment and the practical difficulties encountered
in attracting people to Miami, it appears unlikely that more than twice
the number of demonstrators that attended the Democratic Convention
will attend the Republican Convention. In addition, the Cuban groups
that counter-demonstrated at the Democratic Convention showed interest
in cooperating with local officials to avoid confrontations with the anti-
war groups and, therefore, should prove less of a factor for potential
violence than previously anticipated.

ETHNIC GROUPS ORGANIZE FOR RE-ELECTION OF NIXON:
VOLPE AND DERWINSKI TO HEAD EFFORT
Secretary of Transportation John Volpe and Illinois Congressman
Ed Derwinski have been chosen to lead the campaign of the Heritage
Groups for the Re-Election of the President according to Fred V. Malek,
Deputy Director of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President.
Secretary Volpe would serve as honorary chairman, and Congressman Der-
winski will be chairman of the group's executive board, which includes
two other congressmen, a mayor, an assistant Secretary of the Treasury
and other leading Republicans of ethnic background.
The executive board will set the basic policy guidelines for the
Republican effort to win ethnic votes.
"The new Democrat elitists have closed the door to ethnic groups
and the party's traditional friends, " said Malek, "and many of them
have expressed their intent to work on behalf of the President's re-
election. This organization will assure a coordinated response on our
part. 11
According to the 1969 Current Population Survey, more than 80
million Americans identify themselves as "ethnic Americans. 11 The
figure does not include blacks.

The Republican Party has been working actively since 1968 for a larger
share of this vote, with a full-time staff operation at Republican National
Committee headquarters. The Heritage Groups for the Re-Election of the
President is a culmination of that effort and will bring into the campaign
Democrats and Independents as well.
The Director of the Heritage Groups campaign operation is Laszlo
Pasztor, Director of the Heritage Groups Division of the Republican National
Committee. Executive Director for special activities is Jack Burgess, a
former head of the Nationalities Division of the Republican National Committee.
The Heritage Groups for the Re-Election of the President will
be headquartered at the RNC.
Members of the executive board, including Secretary Volpe.
Congressman Derwinski, and Pasztor are: Reps. Silvio Conte (R-Mass) and
Bill Scherle (R-Iowa); Cleveland Mayor Ralph Perk; Eugene Rossides, assistant
secretary of the Treasury; Mrs. Anna Chennault and Phil Guarino, both of
Washington, D.C.; and Thomas C. Pappas of Boston.
Republican National co-chairman Tom Evans noted that President
Nixon has called the GOP the "Party of the Open Door" and said that the large
number of ethnic Americans coming into the party was one expression of their
support for the President. "The Nixon Administration and the Republican Party
reflect the concerns and needs of all Americans, and I believe the vote of
Americans of ethnic background will reflect this in November. " Evans states.

STATEMENT BY FRANCIS L. DALE, CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT, ON THE PRESIDENT'S CHOICE OF
VICE PRESIDENT AGNEW AS THE NEXT VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
President Nixon's decision to keep the winning Nixon-Agnew team
together is a welcome one to Republicans and the great majority of
Americans who support the responsible and productive record of the
Nixon Administration.
Vice President Agnew has been a vital part of the leadership team
which has laid the foundations of a generation of peace in the
world and prosperity at home. When President Nixon is re-elected, Mr.
Agnew will continue to be an eloquent voice speaking out for the hopes
and aspirations of the peaceful, hard-working majority of Americans.
The choice the voters make in November will now certainly be
clearcut: shall we continue to be led by the Nixon Administration with
its emphasis on accomplishing the possible in a responsible manner; or
shall we turn to an untried team of opposition candidates selected by a
radical elite with an emphasis on promising the impractieal and the
impossible and threatening to leave the United States militarily defenseless.
This choice is a challenge which we accept. I predict that it will
result in a clear mandate for the Nixon-Agnew team in November -- a
mandate to continue leading America toward peaceful prosperity.

STATEMENT BY HONORABLE CLARK MACGREGOR, CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR OF
THE COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT, ON THE
PRESIDENT'S CHOICE OF VICE PRESIDENT AGNEW AS THE NEXT VICE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I am delighted that the President has chosen Vice President
Agnew as his runningmate in 1972. Four years ago, when
President Nixon selected then-Governor Agnew as his Vice Presi-
dential nominee, Mr. Nixon said that one of his prime objectives
was to select a man who was capable of the duties of the Presi-
dency should that need arise. In his first term Vice President
Agnew has demonstrated the qualities of leadership which. the
President perceived when he selected him. There is no doubt
in my mind that if the need arose, Vice President Agnew would
make an outstanding President.
That a great many Americans share my view. was demonstrated
in the New Hampshire primary when more people chose to write
in the Vice President's name than voted for any other candidate
except President Nixon himself. That was a remarkable demon-
stration of Vice President Agnew's continuing respect among
the American people.

The effect of this happening immediately after the McGovern

HUMPHREY SAYS MCGOVERN'S WELFARE PLAN
WOULD COST TAXPAYERS $115 BILLION
LOS ANGELES, May 30 - - - Senator Hubert H. Humphrey said today that
Senator George McGovern's current "welfare giveaway plan" would cost the
American taxpayer an additional $115 billion.
Speaking to business and civic leaders in a Town Hall luncheon
meeting in the Biltmore Hotel, Humphrey said that the additional cost
would be paid by increases in the personal income tax.
McGovern's proposals not only are an "unbelievable burden on middle
income families" Humphrey said, but they lack work requirements and they
make more than 500,000 blind, disabled and aged Californians worse off
than under present welfare programs.
Humphrey proposed his own welfare reforms including increases in
social security benefits, federalization of welfare, jobs and minimum
benefits of $3,000 a year for a family of four based on need.
FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT OF HUMPHREY'S REMARKS:
--More--
TEXT OF SENATOR HUMPHREY'S SPEECH TO TOWN HALL LUNCHEON
BILTMORE HOTEL, LOS ANGELES
MAY 30, 1972
Every person who lives in California is somehow affected by the massive
welfare system of this state. There's no getting around it. The citizens
of this state either pay the cost of welfare or recieve its benefits. The
welfare system touches everyone.
And California has the nation's number one welfare problem. There are
more people on welfare in California than in any other state. And more is
spent by California taxpayers on welfare than by citizens of any other
state in the union.
As a candidate and as your President, I want to tackle the problem in
a compassionate and reasonable way.
The people want an answer to this welfare mess.
They expect a man who wants to be President of the United States to have
a realistic, sensible welfare program.
Today, I want to do two things.
I want to outline a reasoned, sound welfare program--one that will meet
the needs of those who truly require help, while at the same time not
increase taxes on the middle income families.
And, I want to match my programs against Senator McGovern's welfare
program. I want to put these two programs before the people of California
so that they will see that there clearly is a difference.
The people of California have a right to ask:
-What is Senator McGovern's true welfare program?
The fact is==he has two programs and both mean higher taxes for middle
income families.
Senator McGovern, on July 29, 1971, introduced a welfare bill in the
United States Senate. This program will put 104 million persons on the
welfare rolls and, according to the Senate Finance Committee, it will
cost American taxpayers $72 billion.
This bill will provide a $6,500 guranteed annual income for every
family of four.
In our debate last Sunday, Senator McGovern claimed that this was not
his proposal, and that he introduced this legislation at the request of
a welfare group.
Now that Senator McGovern has abandoned and publicly disavowed the
$72 billion welfare proposal, we can focus on his second proposal.
According to Senator McGovern's new proposal, everybody in the United
States will get a $1,000 welfare check from the United States Treasury.

HUMPHREY WELFARE SPEECH--MAY 30, 1972 2-2-2-2-2-2-
As he said on May 25, 1972:
"It wouldn't make any difference what your income was, you'd still
get that $1,000 a person." (Liz Drew Show).
Regardless of your need, regardless of how much wealth you have,
under the McGovern program a government handout would still come to you,
just the same as it would come to billionaire Howard Hughes.
I think the people of California have a right to know some fundamental
problems with this scheme.
First, the cost.
On our Sunday debate, Senator McGovern said, "I have proposed nothing
in the way of welfare reform or defense reform or full employment or
anything else without providing a method for financing it."
Yet, he refuses to tell the people of California how much his welfare
handout scheme will cost or who will pay how much.
He has said he doesn't have an "exact estimate on this proposal."
I find this statement unbelievable.
Maybe I can help all of us determine the approximate cost of his
program to the taxpayers.
Simple arithmetic tells us that $1,000 paid to every man, woman, and
child in the United States times 210 million Americans equals $210
billion.
I am well aware that Senator McGovern does not intend for the
treasury to lose the whole $210 billion.
He does have some suggestions as to how the treasury might get some
of it back. Here are a few:
--He suggests eliminating every taxpayer's personal exemption of
$750. This act, unwise as it is, would bring $63 billion back into the
treasury.
Senator McGovern's program now costs $147 billion.
--He suggests scrapping the present welfare system. That would
return $7 billion to the treasury.
Now Senator McGovern's proposal would cost $140 billion.
--From this point, he makes suggestions but doesn't specify dollar
amounts that could be returned to the treasury. For example, he says
money from the social security trust fund might be used to finance this
$1,000 welfare giveaway program.
--MORE--
HUMPHREY WELFARE SPEECH--MAY 30, 1972 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3
I am opposed to tampering with the social security system. I
believe this is contrary to the best interests of 20 million Americans
now receiving social security, and to the rest of us who hope to be
beneficiaries of this system.
The question now is--who pays the $140 billion bill?
Economists tell me that the government can be expected to recoup
a maximum of about $25 billion in excess income taxes resulting from
the additional income the NcGovern"s giveaway puts in the taxpayers
hands.
This still leaves $115 billion.
Senator McGovern says that he will let the rich and the big
corporations pay for this cost.
But after some businessmen criticized him, last week he placed a
full page ad in the Wall Street Journal, in which he retreated from
his earlier positions of increasing the corporate tax rate from 48 to
52 per cent.
So apparently he does not want corporations to pay for this $115
billion.
Again, I want to ask--who pays the $115 billion bill?
The answer now is--the individual taxpayer--you and I.
Senator McGovern's experts, however, do not accept my figures of
about $115 billion additional cost to the American taxpayer. At a
special briefing his experts held for the press last Saturday on the
McGovern welfare scheme, some of them said that the total figure would
be $60 billion.
Even if we assume the $60 billion McGovern figure--and let us do
so for a moment--the Senate Finance Committee staff tells me that the
added cost to the American taxpayer can be translated into these
human terms:
--To the single secretary, living in San Francisco, making $8,000
a year, the committee says the McGovern plan means an increased tax
of $567.
The unmarried persons suffers most under Senator McGovern's plan.
--To a family of four living in Long Beach, making $12,000 a year,
the McGovern proposal would increase their income tax by $409.
--To a family of four making $15,000, the McGovern tax would be $588.
The Senate committee calculated these figures from basic data
provided by Senator McGovern's own proposal.
-MORE-
HUMPHREY WELFARE SPEECH MAY 30, 1972 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4
It's clear that the McGovern $1,000 welfare scheme puts the burden
of paying for welfare where it has always been--on the middle income
working family.
The cost is simply unbelievable. But there are other serious flaws
in his approach.
What happens to the work requirement that must be a part of a
welfare system?
He says that under his scheme, welfare is an automatic system.
"There would be no requirement to work anymore than there is now
a requirement to work. You can't force somebody to Work if they don't
want to work."
But if people are able-bodied, and there are jobs, they should work
and not recieve a $1,000 welfare benefit.
And they want to work!
Senator McGovern's scheme is a share the welfare, but not share
the work program.
Finally, under Senator McGovern's proposal, the over 500,000 blind
disabled, and aged Californians who now receive public assistance would
be worse off than under the present system.
Right now, they recieve on an average of $178 a month.
Under Senator McGovern's prposal, they would get a $1,000 a year,
or $85 a month--his plan would take away $93 a month from every aged,
blind, and disabled persons unless the state out of its own tax funds
supplemented this payment.
This is hardly reform. And it strikes against those who can least
help themselves.
In contrast to Senator McGovern's program, let me outline my
proposal for welfare reform.
Its aim is to end hunger, to strengthen the family, to cut the
bureaucracy and red tape, to provide jobs, eliminate fraud, and treat
recipients and taxpayers fairly.
First, we need an immediate 25 per cent increase in social security
benefits.
Second, we can take the five million elderly poor, provide them with
a basic assistance benefit to lift them immediately above the poverty
line.
Third, I want an immediate increase in the food stamp budget, so that
we could really begin to wipe out hunger in the United States.
-MORE-
HUMPHREY WELFARE SPEECH MAY 30, 1972
5-5-5-5-5-5-5
In California, there are an estimated 300,000 hungry children
and 100,000 hungry adults.
Four, I propose important and far reaching changes in the present
welfare system.
--We will phase out the present welfare system.
--It will be replaced with a welfare program paid for and run
entirely by the federal government, thereby removing it as a burden
on state and local governments.
--it will establish a beginning basic benefit level of $3,000 a
year for a family of four. But this benefit will not go to every
family in this nation. It will be restricted to those in need. There
will be firm and suitable work requirements.
--We will guard against fraud and deception through careful
scrutiny of those who apply and continuous review of those who
receive a benefit.
My welfare proposal will include day care centers and expanded
job and training programs to help people get off welfare.
And finally, but crucially, it would provide jobs--by stimulating
the private sector and through a program of public service job
opportunities.
This program I have outlined is responsible- it is realistic, and
can be passed by the Congress and accepted by the American people.
It provides needed financial relief for the homeowners of
California by federalizing the costs. It provides hope for the 1.5
million Californians on welfare and it does not create a permanent
welfare population.

HUMPHREY SAYS McGOVERN DEFENSE CUTBACKS
WOULD TAKE JOBS AWAY FROM CALIFORNIANS
SANTA BARBARA -- Senator Hubert H. Humphrey charged today that
"Senator George McGovern is running away from the serious implications
of his $32 billion defense cutback."
Speaking at Santa Barbara's Channel City Elub, Humphrey said
that "Senator McGovern has refused: to admit in any of the states he
has campaigned in thus far that his massive cutbacks will cause base
closings or job losses.
"Apparently, Senator McGovern would have us believe that all the
job losses and base closings stemming from his unilateral defense
cutbacks would occur only in those states which do not have presidential
primaries.
"Thus far, Senator McGovern has campaigned in over 10 primary
states. At Nebraska's Offut Air Force Base -- the home of the
Strategic Air Command -- he denied it would be hurt although he has
proposed a 60 percent reduction in our B-52 force. And last week in
Sacramento, Senator McGovern vehemently denied that any of the military
installations in the area of the capital would be touched by his huge
defense slashes.
- more -

"California voters should find it difficult to believe that the
McGovern cutback of roughly 30 percent in our Armed Forces manpower
could be achieved without extensive economic impact in this state.
"The Senator's refusal to pinpoint exactly where in the United
States his massive cutbacks will occur matches his evasiveness in
explaining who will pay the tax bill for his $1,000 per person giveaway
scheme.
"Senator McGovern's unwillingness to state precisely what areas
or who would be affected is certainly good politics, but given the
actual facts of his proposals, it is inevitable that some of California's
75 military bases will be the targets of his meat ax cuts.
11 - He has proposed halting all surface shipbuilding, reducing the
number of aircraft carriers from 15 to 6 and cutting the American fleet
in half.
" - He has proposed a 25 percent cutback in active Army divisions
which would most likely cause a corresponding cutback in U.S. Army
installations.
" -He has proposed cutting Air Force personnel by close to 250,000
men, with serious implications for strategic bombers, interceptors,
tactical air wings and support forces.
Humphrey said that the jobs of many people who live in these
communities come directly or indirectly from the operation of bases. When
they close or are severely cut back, the jobs of hundreds of thousands
of military and civilian personnel are threatened.
Senator Humphrey reiterated three major themes regarding defense
cutbacks which he has stressed throughout the campaign.
"One, there should be a thorough effort to root out and eliminate
waste in defense spending."

"Two, significant cutbacks must be mutually negotiated with the
Soviet Union and not be unilateral.
"Three, any cutbacks stemming from such negotiations should be
planned in such a way as to include programs which would prevent any
significant unemployment increases or serious harm to local communities. MI
Humphrey said that "because of the widc spread consequences of
massive shutdowns of military bases and defense plants, all Californians
have an important stake in the outcome of this Tuesday's presidential
primary. "

HUMPHREY POINTS OUT MAJOR FLAWS IN McGOVERN GIVEAWAY SCHEME
LOS ANGELES - Senator Hubert H. Humphrey charged today that Senator
McGovern's proposal to use money from the Sccial Security Trust Fund to
finance the McGovern $1,000 giveaway is contrary to the best interests of
20 million elderly Americans.
The text of the Senator's remarks follows:
I am opposed to tampering with the social security system. It is
there for a purpose people pay into it when they are working because
they know they will have income protection when they retire.
I don't want our social security system used to finance Senator
McGovern's $1,000 giveaway scheme.
But that is only one part of the McGovern proposal that could well
hurt elderly Californians. Under the McGovern $1,000 giveaway, over
500,000 blind, disabled and aged Californians who now receive public
assistance would be worse off than under the present system.
Right now, these people receive an average of $178 a month. Under
the McGovern proposal, they would get $1,000 a year or $85 a month --
his plan would take away $93 a month from every aged, blind and disabled
person unless the state supplemented this payment out of its own tax
funds.
I'm opposed to this scheme. This is hardly reform.
There are things we could do. I think that we need an immediate 25
percent increase in social security. We can do this now, and we ought
to do this now. Then, we can take the five million elderly poor, provide
them with a basic assistance benefit to lift them above the poverty line.
And, we can make needed changes in Medicare -- eliminating the deductible,
freezing the copayments and providing prescription drugs.
These three steps would be a start -- a downpayment on a decent
life for older Americans.
-more-
2.
These proposals are responsible. They aren't welfare. They are
opportunity. That's what people want -- they want opportunity.
Older Americans want to be treated as people -- not to be shut
away in a corner, forgotten and left alone.
Life doesn't stop at 65. Opportunities open up at 65.
That's what we really are talking about here today -- opportunities,
not $1,000 welfare schemes or giant giveaway programs.
We are talking about the opportunity to have a job, to live a
useful life, to build neighborhoods. That's what I have spent a
lifetime working for. And, I am proud of what I have seen here in your
community. This community has gotten it together.
The secret is clear: the involvement of people. The closing
paragraph of a brochure published by your Community Labor Action
Committee says it best
"There is now hope in the face of Watts because its people
aspire to the future. The young are reaching up and the old
are reaching out to make Watts an example to the nation and
to the world: That a community united can power itself out
of despair into hope and out of a blighted past into a moving,
Changing present.'
That's powerful. That is what I have been fighting for my entire
life.
I want to change things. I want to put this nation back to work,
doing things, building, growing, living together in peace.
I want to put a little soul in government. I want to be your
President. And, I need your help now.
Let us march together now as we have marched together before.

IMPOSING REASONABLE MAXIMUM LIMITATIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
TO BE SPENT ON RADIO AND TELEVISION ADVERTISING, THIS AGREE-

THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT A CANDIDATE MAY EXPEND UP TO
$413,000 IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ON THIS FORM OF ADVERTISING.
IN ADDITION, A 5% CONTIGENCY FUND CONSTITUTING A POOL OF

EVEN THOUGH THIS INVESTIGATION IS ONLY PARTIALLY COMPLETE,
IT ESTABLISHES THAT THERE IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE SPENDING

WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH FRIDAY, MAY 26, IT DISCLOSES AS FOLLOWS:
THERE ARE 67 TELEVISION STATIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

OF $337,000.

OVER THE TELEPHONE, BUT INSIST ON ON-SIGHT INSPECTION OF THEIR
RECORDS. HOWEVER, IT WAS CLEAR THAT ON MANY OF THESE STATIONS,
ADDITIONAL PURCHASES HAD BEEN MADE. FURTHERMORE, MANY OF THESE
STATIONS INDICATED THAT ADDITIONAL PURCHASES WERE EXPECTED BECAUSE

HUMPHREY'S TAX LOOPHOLE CLOSING TO CUT CALIFORNIA
PROPERTY TAXES 40 PERCENT; LAUDS SERRANO DECISION
Los Angeles, June -United States Senator Hubert Humphrey today
said his proposed legislation to close tax loopholes for the "super rich
and giant corporations "will mean $1.5 billion can be returned to California's
taxpayers for property tax relief.
In a speech at Hollenbeck Junier High School in East Los Angeles,
Senator Humphrey spoke of educational reform and a way to cut California
property taxes by 40 percent. He presented John Serrano, who initiated the
case which resulted in the landmark California Supreme Court decision on
equal educational opportunity for all children, regardless of economic level.
Following is the text of Senator Humphrey's remarks:
"It is an honor to be with the man who symbolizes the battle for
equal educational opportunity on behalf of all of America's children.
"Here is yet another important contribution made by a Mexican
American to this state and our nation.
"Here in East Los Angeles and at Hollenbeck Junior High School the
Serrano decision will touch the lives of children and families in this
community.
"The courageous battle joined by John Serrano and others who aided
in his case mean:
that no child in California should be penalized with a second
class education because he does not live in a wealthy neighborhood.
"I have spent my life fighting for equal opportunity for all
Americans. And I can tell you that when the property tax is used as the
main source of paying for our schools, then fairness, equal opportunity and
a good education are denied to our children.

"For too long, Americans have relied on the property tax for educat-
ional purposes. Homeowners and children have been the losers.
"We need a new method of financing American education so that the
children of East Los Angeles will have the same educational opportunity
as the children privileged enough to attend schools in Beverly Hills.
"It is wrong that this educational disparity exists in the Los
Angeles area and in cities and suburbs across America.
"I have proposed a fundamental reform in the way taxpayers and
communities pay their educational costs, so that we can have equal educat-
ion in all of the neighborhoods of America.
"--The Federal government must immediately begin to pay one-third
of the costs of elementary and secondary public education in America.
The Federal government must establish a special educational trust
fund to give education a top priority in our budget and to protect these
funds from any reductions not in the best interests of our children.
"And no reform of our system of educational financing can be com-
plete without relieving the burden of the homeowner's property tax.
"Having the Federal government pay a greater share of educational
costs will lift some of property tax burden.
"But we must do more. In addition to this, I have sponsored leg-
islation to slam the door shut on tax loopholes for the super rich and the
giant corporations. Closing these loopholes means that $16 billion can be
returned immediately to the taxpayers to cut their property taxes.
"California's share will be $1.5 billion. This means that the prop-
erty taxes of every California homeowner will be cut by at least 30 to 40
percent.
"With this plan, we will be on the road to tax fairness in America.
"I have been on this road for a long time. I've been fight-
ing for tax fairness and tax justice when it wasn't popular to do so.
"My opponent doesn't have this type of record. All of a sudden,
California voters learn that he's going to join me in the battle to close
10opholes and fight against special privilege.
"But what does he do?
"The first step Senator McGovern wants to take to reform our tax
system is to take away the $750 personal exemptions of 210 million Americans.
"He then suggests that he might remove deductions on the interest
payments for home mortgages.
"One of his plans also calls for eliminating medical deductions.

"Senator McGovern seems all too anxious to deny hard working fam-
ilies the only breaks they get and need from our trx system.
"But at the same time, he spends literally thousands of dollars
taking an ad in the Wall Street Journal apologizing to the big banks and
stockbrokers for his positions on tax reform.
"I challenge George McGovern to run that ad in East Los Angeles.
I challenge him to mail this ad to the working families of California.
"Senator McGovern's way is not the way you get tax reform, property
tax relief and good schools in Los Angeles.
"We need a President who will not back down in front of any group
when his programs are presented.
"We need a President who will level with the American people.
"We need a President who will have the courage to say the same
thing in East Los Angeles as he says on Wall Street.

The results of the pell are of course disappointing but they 270 direct
convict with other report from parts of the state CICERTY
indicate an upsurge of Husphrey strength following the debates on national
calovision. There are also in direct conflict with national pools commited
by Down Callop and Harris which show that as recent as the past for days,
\ Senator Humphrey remains the overthelming favorite OF rank and file Democrats
all over the country.
California is now experiencing a massive concentration 07 spending by
the recovern camp which is ungrecodented in the history of California politics.
The attempt to use radio and television advertising in the form of spot announce-
ments and concentrated electronic and printed media began four weeks age. It
undoubtedly helped produce à favor ble image of Senator ReCovern, but we are
confident that candidates cannot be sold like cercal. We are confident that
once the public policy positions of Senator McCovern become clear to the
Democratic veters of California, and it's clear that there is & difference
between the positions taken by Senator Humphray and Senator ReSevern, then
support for Senator Humphrcy will continue to increase and will result in a
primary victory on Tuesday.
The debates will help ciarify those issues and the Husphrey madia campaign
on radio and television, which is beginning in intensity today. HII further
help inform the voters of California that Senator Humplirey best represents
the welfare of the working men and waten of this state.
The voters of California will reject on Tuesday the N:Covern plan to give
(*Senator McGovern has broken an agreement which he signed last December to
lisit expenditures for thila
Governor Reagan, Keward Hughes and every man, women and child in America,
regardless of need, a giverway of $1000 a year.
The voters of California will reject the McGovern proposal which will
inevitably produce a drastic increase in taxes by working class and middle
income taxpayers who will be forced to carry this heavy welfare burden.
The voters of California will reject the McGovarn proposal on national
defense which will endanger the security of our country by reducing our forces
without requiring a similar reduction from the Soviet Union and which will
result in massive unsuployment in this state.
These are the cructal issues.
Be will not parmit the reckless expenditures of unlimited funds to
becloud those issues. the again ask Senator McGovern to disclose the datails
of his compaign expenditures in California just as Senator Humphrey did. If
he didn't have anything to hide, he would have made that disclosure by now.
It is interesting that in the carly days of these primaries, he campaigned as
the man with open books and attacked Senator Muskie and others for not releasing
their financial details as early as he. Today, he prefers to keep the voters
of California in the dark.
Our campaign in the closing days of this election will be aimed at
enlightening the voters of California. We have every confidence that a dis-
cussion of the issues will produce a Humphrey victory on Tuesday.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JUNE 2, 1972 P.M.
San Francisco Supervisor Quentin L. Kopp announced
today that he intends to vote for Senator Hubert L. Humphrey
in the California Democratic primary election on Tuesday, June 6.
Kopp, who is state chairman of the California delegation
for Senator Henry M. Jackson (Dem., Washington), said he still
intends to support Jackson for the nomination in Miami. "But,"
he said, "in the interests of the Democratic party as a whole,
I am endorsing Senator Humphrey in the California primary.
"Senator Jackson, while still on the California ballot,
has in effect been forced to withdraw from our state primary
because of lack of campaign funds," Kopp said, "and I therefore
request and urge his thousands of supporters in California to
vote for Senator Humphrey on June 6th."
Kopp emphasized that this does not mean that Senator
Jackson has withdrawn from the battle for nomination for the
Presidency, but it does mean, he said, that his California
supporters should have the opportunity to cast a meaningful
vote in this primary.
The Supervisor added that the platform of Senator

HUMPHREY SAYS McGOVERN NOT REAL FRIEND
OF WORKING FAMILIES
BURLINGAME, June2--Senator Hubert H. Humphrey said today his
opponent's voting record on labor issues coupled with his proposals
for slashing the defense budget and his "giveaway welfare program"
demonstrate that "he is not a real friend of the millions of working
families in this state "
Humphrey told a predominately labor audience at a rally at
Plumber's Auditorium herè:
"A real friend of California working families would not have a
record with votes against unemployment compensation, votes against
civil rights, votes against organized labor and votes against
tax reform. That's part of Senator McGovern's record that he's not
telling the people of this state
"No real friend of the working family would propose a tax reform
program and then run full page ads in the Wall Street Journal telling
the big banks and brokerage houses that he really didn't mean it
"No real friend-of working families would propose programs which
threaten their jobs and put people out of work. Yet that's what
Senator McGovern's meat ax defense cuts would accomplish."
Following is the text of Senator Humphrey's prepared remarks:
"The labor unions of this nation have a proud history. And
I.¹m proud that we ve fought together for dignity and decency for the
wrking families of America.
"Together we 've fought for Medicare, for adequate minimum wages,
fair labor practices, for job safety, for Social Security for a fair

"Together we believe in a healthy, booming American economy and
have fought for it.
"Whenever you need Hubert Humphrey, he is there.
"Today, Senator McGovern is telling California working families
that he is their friend.
"But you and I know what a real friend is.
"I say he is a false friend of the millions of working families
in this state.

You and I know that a real friend of California working families
would not vote against unemployment compensation, against civil righ
against organized labor and against tax reform. That's part of
Senator McGovern's record that he's not telling the people of
this state.
No real friend of working families would propose a welfare
scheme that would give everyone $1,000 dollars. That's what
Senator McGovern wants. That means that George McGovern wants to
give Howard Hughes, the President of ITT and Ronald Reagan a
$1,000 handout.
Senator McGovern refuses to tell us how much it will cost.
But I can tell you, it can't cost less than $51 billion dollars.
And you're going to be saddled with a McGovern welfare tax to
pay for his $1,000 giveaway scheme.
People don't want welfare--they want jobs.
No real friend of the working family would propose a tax reform
program and then run full page ads in the Wall Street Journal
telling the big banks and brokerage houses that he really didn't
mean it.
Yet, that's what Senator McGovern did.
And, he wants to do something else, also. His idea of tax
reform is to take away your $750 tax exemption for members of
your family, to take away your deductions for interest payments
on your mortgage and your property tax deduction.
Th ink of it--taking your personal exemption and your deduction
to pay for the McGovern $1,000 welfare giveaway.
I haven't given up on tax reform. I've been fighting the
big boys all my life. I don't run full page ads in the Wall
Street Journal apologizing to the big banks and the giant
CO rporations.
I want a fair tax system-one that gives a break to the
working man.
No real friend of working families would propose programs which
threaten their jobs and put people out of work. Yet, that's what
Senator McGovern's meat ax defense cuts would accomplish.
Did you know that George McGovern wants to cut the defense
budget by 43 percent?
That means no new shipbuilding. It means closing 25 percent of
our army bases, cutting the number of bombers by 60 per cent,
cutting half of our fleet, and reducing civilian and military
personnel in our Armed Forces by as much as 30 per cent.
George McGovern would cut the muscle from our security.
American will become a second class power. And without a job,
you will become a second class citizen.
Senator McGovern admitted that California workers may have to
be without jobs for as long as a year under his proposals. And
this week he appointed a special committee to study the whole
situation and find out. exactly how many people would lose their
jobs.
I'm here to tell Senator McGovern that we don't need any more
phony committees. We need people on the job with cash in their
wallets.
Californians want jobs, not unemployment compensation. That's
why I've proposed a comprehensive job development program to
put Californiana to work.
You and I know that no real friend of working families would
every ignore young workers: and their problems.
-more-
-3-
But Senator McGovern does.
Young workers are only 3 per cent of George McGovern's
California delegation. In the Humphrey yout.. delegation, they
represent 30 per cent.
George McGovern says that he represents the youth of America.
But where is the evidence of his commitment to young working
families?
I'm here to tell you today that if a young Humphrey supporter
doesn't ring your doorbell, it's because he or she is working.
Humphrey youth work for a living and can be found in the
factories, in the shops, in the stores of California.
I won't forget the invisible, working youth of this country.
I haven't done 30 in a political campaign, as Senator McGovern
has in this, and I won't do it from the White House.
I'm running hard in California because I refuse to stand
idly by and let the Nixon recession become the McGovern recession.

HUMPHREY SAYS FicGOVERN HAS BLEMISHED
CIVIL RIGHTS RECORD
PASADENA, California, June 4--Senator Hubert H. Humphrey said tonight
that his opponent in the California primary has a blemished record on
civil rights and said that the black community "needs a friend that will be
there when the going gets rough
In remarks prepared for delivery at the Revelation Baptist Church here,
Senator Humphrey said that while he was guiding President John Kennedy's
civil rights bill through Congress in 1964, "my opponent, Senator McGovern
was still siding with the anti-civil rights forces in the Senate of the
United States. "
Following is the text of the Senator's prepared remarks:
"There are two candidates in this primary who claim to be the friend
of black voters and other minorities in the United States.
My opponent claims that his record on civil rights is as good as mine.
This is nonsense.
Sixteen years after I had taken the lead in the battle for human rights
in America at the Democratic National Convention of 1948, and while I was
guiding John Kennedy's civil rights bill through Congress in 1964, my
opponent, Senator George McGovern was still siding with the anti-civil
rights forces in the Senate of the United States.
I charge tonight, that on the key voting rights provision of the 1964
civil rights bill, Senator McGovern yielded to political pressure and sided
with the hurmonds of the United States Senate, to stop the progress for
human rights in the United States.
I charge the record shows that on June 15, 1964, Senator McGovern joins
22 other senators, which included 18 members of the Senate's hard core
unti-civil rights bloc, in voting against a provision to allow the attorney
general to require that all courts expedite legal complaints on voting
rights. This was a brazen and full scale attempt to emascualte the voting
rights provision of the civil rights act.
I challenge Senator McGovern to deny to any black or Mexican American
or any other progressive group in the state of California that he did not
cast this vote.
This provision was to protect the voting rights of black Americans in
the deep South. It may not have been crucial to you here, but it was
crucial to our brothers and sisters in Alabama and Mississippi, who had
been denied the right to vote by terror, subterfuge, deception and in some
cases, outright murder.
I dare Senator McGovern to deny this vote.
What the black community needs, and let's face it, brothers and sisters,
is a friend that will stick by them when the going gets rough.
Because no one needs to tell us that the problems that affect all
Americans today, affects black Americans with particular harshness.
Recessions for white folks means depressions for black folks. And you
know it.
More than thything else, the tragedy of the Republican recession is
that the great economic strides made by black Americans has slowed to a crawl.

HUMPHREY PAGE 2
--Since the Nixon Administration took office, black unemployment has
increased by 104 percent.
--One-half of black youth are without work. How many more will be
out of luck, out of money, , and out of a job this summer?
- Black female unemployment is over 50 percent.
--At least 100, black youths have given up looking for work out of
sheer desperation.
-The dollar gap between black and white families now amounts to
$3,600.00, and it is not being closed under this Administration.
To be black and lucky enough to have a job, often means:
-Fewer hours of work per week
-Less pay
Fewer prospects for advancement
--And first to be fired
We all know that most black paychecks are less than white paychecks.
But we also know that there are no special discounts for black families--
at the supermarket, at the clothing and appliance stores, and when tax
bills come due.
*******
HEALTH
It is time to end the unfair gap between white health and black health
in America.
The life expectancy of white male is 67 years. The black male is
expected to live only 60 years.
--Out of every 1,000 babies born, 19 white babies die, but 34 black
babies die.
Do you realize that T.B. kills 3 times as many blacks as white?
--We rank 18th among the nations of the world in infant mortality.
And, finally, this nation has begun to recognize and do something about
sickle cell anemia--a dread disease which afflicts black Americans.
I give my solemn pledge that a Humphrey Administration will pull out
all the stops to cure this disease.
*******
CRIME
--It's time to drive the drug pushers from our connumities. They have
been in our neighborhoods, in our schools, and on the street corners
too long.
It's a fact, and everybody ought to know it: black people get hurt
most by crime.
Black people ought to be able to walk to church on Sunday without
fear.
-Black children should never have to fear being shook down on the way
to school.
The Statistics are stark:
-Blacks suffer 4 times as much robbery as whites; 2 times as much
aggravated assault; 2 times as much burglary; and 3 times as much forceable
rape.
It is so bad that people are afraid to go crosstown to visit relatives
because they fear things they saved and paid for will be stolen.
There is a direct link between crime, drugs, and lack of jobs for our
young.

BOGUS NEWS RELEASES ISSUED ON HUMPHREY
LETTERHEAD, DENOUNCED BY TOP HUMPHREY AIDE
LOS ANGELES, June -Bogus news releases on Humphrey for President
letterheads appeared throughout California today in an apparent last-
minute effort to confuse voters and the news media. Humphrey for
President Campaign Manager Jack Chestnut denounced the two bogus releases
as "the lowest kind of dirty politics.'
One release purported to signify Humphrey support for Proposition
9, an antipollution proposition on the June 6 ballot.
"Senator Humphrey has not spoken for or against Proposition 9, nor
has anyone in his campaign organization," said Chestnut. "We have put out
no news release. What has appeared on editors' desks this morning is
bogus and does not emanate from the Humphrey campaign. "
The other release mentioned Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, who is
also in the Democratic Presidential Primary ballot, in a derrogatory
manner. "This release is completely false. It does not come from the
Humphrey campaign," Chestnut said. "Like the other release, it is
spurious and bogus."
Chestnut noted that the mineograph paper supply cabinet in the
Humphrey campaign headquarters had been rifled during the evening of June
4 and that several reams of news release paper apparently been stolen.

HUMPHREY HITS DIFFERENCES WITH
OPPONENT ON JOBS, DEFENSE, WLEFARE
SAN DIEGO, June -Senator Hubert H. Humphrey hammered away at the
issues of jobs, defense and welfare today and said that the choice in
the California primary is "between George McGovern who wants to cut your
jobs, and Hubert Humphrey, who wants to keep you working."
In remarks prepared for delivery at a rally here, Senator Humphrey
said the choice is "between two men who differ on the best way to put
this Nation back to work and get our country and the State of California
back on its feet. 11
Following is the text of the Senator's prepared remarks:
"I'm here to tell the voters of San Diego that they have an important
choice to make tomorrow when they vote in the Democratic primary.
It's a choice between two men who differ on the best way to put
this nation back to work and get our country and the state of California
back on its feet.
It's a difference between George McGovern who wants to cut your
jobs, and Hubert Humphrey, who wants to deep you working.
Senator McGovern has proposed a defense cutback program which threatens
the economic health and the jobs of people who live and work in the San
Diego area.
Senator McGovern proposes halting all further building of naval
surface ships. He says that "no further construction is necessary."
What will this do to the shipyard here in San Diego? How many
thousands of people will be tossed out of work?
Senator McGovern also proposes that we mothball 9 aircraft carriers,
100 crusiers, frigates and destroyers, and reduce the total number of
submarines by 11.
What does this mean?
It means threatening 6,710 civilian jobs at North Island Naval Air
Rework Facility, 2,114 civilian jobs at the Naval Air Station, 1608 jobs
at San Diego Naval Electronics Lab., 1,000 civilian jobs at San Diego
Naval Supply Center, and thousands more civilian and military jobs at
Imperial Beach, San Diego Naval Station, Coronado, and at the Naval
Training Center.
It means a cutback in commerce for the retail business of this area.
And, it means that the Nixon recession here in San Diego could
become the McGovern recession throughout the state of California.
There is a difference between Humphrey and NcGovern on welfare.
Senator McGovern has proposed a massive welfare scheme that will
give $1,000 to everyone in the United State--including Ronald Reagan and
Howard Hughes.
But, he won't tell us how much his $1,000 welfare giveaway scheme
will cost.
But, I'll tell you one thing--it will cost you plenty.
There will be a new McGovern tax to pay for welfare.
If you are now making $8,000 and are single, the McGovern welfare
scheme will mean your taxes will increase $567.00.
For a family of four, making $12,000 a year, the McGovern welfare
tax will mean a tax increase of $409.
I say that is intolerable. The working families of this nation have
carried the load all too long.

HUMPHREY PAGE 2
I think that people do not want welfare- they want jobs.
That's what I have proposed a job program- - to put America back
to work.
I don't believe that the working families of California can afford
more taxes to pay for a welfare $1,000 giveaway scheme.
And, I believe that the working families of California are opposed
to Senator McGovern's plan to take away their $750 personal exemption,
their medical deductions, their interest rate deductions, and property tax
deductions - just to pay for his $1,000 giveaway scheme.
That's not reforming the tax system. That's not closing tax loopholes.
That's not making the big boys pay their fair share. That's robbing the
working families of America.
I think I know what the people of this state want.
And, I have the ability, the know-how, and the experience to
translate wants and dreams into reality.
I've got a record that can't be matched by any man in public life.
I want to be president. I want to get this nation back to work.
And, I need your help.

HUMPHREY SAYS DIFFERENCE WITH OPPONENT IS JOBS
DOWNEY, Calif., June --Senator Hubert H. Humphrey went to one of the
giants of the southern California aerospace industry today to lay on the line
some of the economic differences between himself and his California primary
opponent, including their opposing votes on the space shuttle.
"I'm proud to have played a role in protecting your jobs," Humphrey
told workers at the North American Rockwell plant here. "I've supported the
development of the space shuttle.
"Senator McGovern is against the space shuttle. He is recorded against
your jobs and your families.
"Humphrey or McGovern--it's the difference between having a job or
looking for work it's the difference between being able to pay the bills
or borrowing from the credit companies."
Following is the text of the Senator's prepared remarks:
I'm glad to be here to see this mock-up of the space shuttle.
I'm proud to have played a role in protecting your jobs.
I've supported the development of the space shuttle. I believe it is
important to the technological advancement of the United States.
But more importantly, I believe that men and women should be working,
rather than looking for work.
Senator McGovern- is against the space shuttle. He is recorded against
your jobs and your families.
Humphrey or McGovern--it's a difference between having a job or looking
for work. Humphrey or McGovern--it's the difference between paying the bills
or borrowing from the credit companies.
Humphrey or McGovern it's the difference between 24,000 space shuttle
jobs in California or the same number of people in the unemployment lines.
And it's the difference between saving 36,000 non-aerospace jobs created
by. the shuttle outside these plant gates in your communities.
I want people to be working.
I don't want people on welfare.
That's why I'm against Senator McGovern's meat axe defense cuts, and
that's why I'm against Senator McGovern's welfare give-away scheme to hand
everyone, Ronald Reagan and Howard Hughes included, a $1,000 welfare check.
I'm opposed to that scheme. I know who will end up paying for this
$1,000 give-away scheme - - you will-- the working families of this state.
There will be a new tax increase- the McGovern welfare tax.
I want jobs--not welfare for people.
I'm the one candidate who votes to protect your jobs.
I don't want any more Californians collecting unemployment compensation.
I don't want plants to close. I don't want communities to die.
(more)
HUMPHREY - page 2
And I refuse to cast a vote or propose programs that will throw you
out of work.
There's a great deal of talk today about having aerospace companies
stop building planes and rockets and start building subway cars. I believe
companies should be thinking ahead to the manufacture of environmental
protection systems, modernized housing units and redesigning our cities.
Since 1968, I've been involved in a meaningful practical program of
economic conversion.
I've worked to forge the kind of program that isn't pie in the sky.
I want a conversion program that puts people to work immediately- not
in one or two years.
I think we have a solid plan now with the community conversion corpor-
ation proposals. And I believe it will pass the Senate shortly.
I'm proud of my association with the working men
and women of the aerospace industry.
We are using our technology to move ahead--not just to raise the
standard of living, but to improve the quality of life for all Americans.
That's what the space shuttle means to me.
That's why I voted for your jobs.

HUMPHREY SCORES CIVIL RIGHTS RECORD OF NIXON, NcGOVERN
OAKLAND, CALIF., June 5--Senator Hubert H. Humphrey today
criticized the civil rights records of both President Nixon and Senator
McGovern and pledges to continue the fight to secure full rights and
opportunities for all Americans.
"What people in the black community needs," Humphrey told a rally
audience here, "is a, friend that will stick by them when the going gets
rough. "
In his prepared remarks, Humphrey said that the key voting rights
provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, "Senator McGovern yielded to
political pressure and sided with the Thurmonds of the Senate to stop
the progress for human rights in the United States.
"I charge the record shows that on June 15, 1964, Senator McGovern
joined 22 other Senators, which included 18 members of the Senate's hard
core anti-civil rights bloc, in voting against a provision to allow the
attorney general to require that all courts expedite legal complaints
on voting rights.
"This was a brazen and full scale attempt to emasculate the voting
rights provision of the Civil Rights Act.
"I challenge Senator McGovern to deny to any black or any Mexican
American or to anyone else in the State of California that he did not cast
this vote."
Humphrey said the problems that affect all Americans today "affect
black Americans with particular harshness.
"Recessions for white folks mean depressions for black folks--and
you know it.
"More than anything else, the tragedy of the Republican recession
is that the great economic strides made by black Americans has slowed to
a crawl.
"Since the Nixon Administration took office, black unemployment has
increased by 104 per cent.
-More--
HUMPHREY - - PAGE 2
"One half of black youth is without work. How many more will be
out of 1"ck, out of money, and out of a job this summer?
"Employment among black women is over 50 per cent.
"At least 100,000 black youths have given up looking for work out
of desperation.
"The dollar gap between black and white family annual earnings now
amounts to $3,600, and it is not being closed under this Administration.
Humphrey also scored the Administration's record on health care and
crime control.
"I want for black Americans, for all members of minority groups in
our Nation, exactly what I want for myself and for my family--equal
rights, full opportunity, quality education, decent housing, freedom from
fear on the streets, jobs with dignity and a chance to progress. I have
a proven record of fighting for those things. We have won many battles.
Many are yet to be won. I ask the opportunity to lead in that endeavor."

TRANSCRIPT OF AN ADDRESS BY SENATOR GEORGE McGOVERN AT ALBANY, N.Y., JUNE 13, 1972
We had a great victory in the state of California, and on the basis of what I see
here tonight and what I've seen for the last few days in every part of this state, I
think we're going to have a great victory a week from tonight (in New York). (Applause)
Ever since that California primary I've been reading in the press that I should
move to the center. Well here I am (in the center of the crowd). You can't get any
more in the center than this. (Laughter and applause)
The American people are not looking for a leader who moves to the center, who
moves to the middle, who moves to the left, who moves to the right. They're looking
first and foremost for someone to lead this country, who will take a position, who will
take a stand on what he honestly believes, and then hold to that course in the interest
of truth and decency and respect for the American people. (Applause)
I think we have had too much in recent years of the politics of manipulation.
We've had too much of the politics of expediency. We've had too much political
judgment of this country based on narrow, selfish short-term interest, and not enough
based on what is in the long-term interest of the great body of the American people.
Four years ago, there was a man seeking the Presidency of the United States who
said that any candidate running in 1968, if elected to the Presidency, who could not
end that war in his first term should not be re-elected. And I agree with that
judgment. (Applause)
I heard the television address the night candidate Nixon told us that he had a
secret plan. He said he didn't want to disrupt the Paris peace talks by describing
his plan in the heat of a political campaign, but once that campaign was over, he
would announce a plan for ending the war. As far as I'm concerned, about the only
thing we can say with reference to that pledge is that Mr. Nixon is one man who really
knows how to keep a secret. (Applause)
And the President now claims, after another 20,000 Americans have died these past
31 years, after scores of additional young Americans have been captured and placed in
prison in Hanoi, after tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed and maimed
by the destruction of our bombs and our artillery, after we opened our papers last week
to see little children running naked from a school that has just been napalmed -- and
that gives us some measure of the barbarism and destruction of this war -- the President
now insists month after month that the war is winding down.
But last week, a strange thing happened on Capitol Hill. The Secretary of Defense,
testifying in preparation for fiscal year 1973, which begins on the first of July, told
us that we would need to fight the war in Vietnam between $3 and 5 billion more than
we have spent in the current fiscal year.
Now if the war is winding down, why do we need $5 billion more in the coming year
to fight that war than we've spent in the year that's about to end? Is the war winding
down, or are preparations being made for an even more devastating and bloody attack
in the months ahead?
Why is it that some months ago the Pentagon stopped public reports on the number
of American sorties flown over North Vietnam and flown over other parts of the
Indochina peninsula? Why is it we are suddenly confronted with the news that the war
in the next twelve months will cost from $3 to 5 billion more than the past twelve months?
This is scarcely a redemption of an election pledge of four years ago. It is a
verification, I think, of the President's own statement that a man who can't end the
war in four years does not deserve to be re-elected. (Applause)
Now I want to give President Nixon credit where credit is due. He has opened
relations with China and I praised that initiative regarding this largest of all
countries. I applaud his recent efforts in Moscow to arrive at some mutual agreement
for the reduction of the arms burden on both of our countries.
11
-2-
But what are we to say about the credibility of the administration when the
President comes back from Moscow announcing that he has just negotiated a reduction
in the arms race, and then Secretary Laird a few days later -- in the same press
conference to which I have just referred -- announces that we will have to spend
$2 or 3 billion more on the arms race next year than we spent in the current year?
Now who are we to believe? Is the arms race being reduced, as the President
announced on his return from Moscow, or is it once again accelerating as indicated
by Secretary Laird's request?
This, it seems to me, is the serious credibility problem that is at the basis of
the crisisiin confidence in American public life today. (Applause)
Then there's another serious development in the last few days that again reflects
on the credibility of this administration. On February 7th, the President signed into
law a new measure which requires every person running for the Presidency of the United
States to disclose publicly the names of, and the amount of money contributed by,
everyone backing that particular candidate's campaign.
And we all know the reason why that law was SO desperately needed: it is because
of the obvious evidence we have had in recent years of the unwholesome influence of
special interest money on political decisions all the way from the White House down to
the court house.
So when the President signed that law, he hailed it as a historic step forward.
He said this signals a new era of moral leadership in the United States, and I'm proud,
he said, to sign this law requiring a full disclosure of the names and contributions
to national campaigns in this country.
Now it's true that that law did not take effect technically until April 7th.
And SO what happened? The President's finance director, Maurice Stans, set out on a
crash basis to raise every possible dime he could between the time that law was signed
on February 7th, and the time it became effective on April 7th.
And ten million dollars was raised in that period of time.
The new law requires that even though you don't name the contributors and the
amount of those contributing prior to April 7th, you have at least to list the total
amount. So when it came out a few days ago that ten million dollars was contributed
prior to April 7th, the reporters of this country very legitimately asked Mr. John
Mitchell, the President's campaign chairman, the former Attorney General of the
United States, to reveal not as a matter of law, but as a matter of what the President
himself described as an act of moral leadership -- the names of those who contributed
the ten million dollars.
I didn't wait for any law to do that. I disclosed the name and the contributor
of every dollar that has come into this campaign going clear back to January 1971.
(Applause)
But what did Mr. Mitchell say? He said the law doesn't require us to reveal the
names of contributors and the amounts given prior to April 7th. When he was asked
about the moral obligation to do so, he said we had no moral obligation either, and
he said, beyond that, there were many people who didn't like to have their contributions
publicly known.
Well, how can you have it both ways? How can you have the President of the
United States announcing to the Nation on February 7th, that it's a great act of moral
leadership to require that the name and the contribution be made public, and then have
the former Attorney General, now the President's campaign manager, telling us there's
no moral obligation at all to release the names of these ten million dollar contributors
to the Republican Party?
I want to say here tonight, not to the Republican Party but to Richard Nixon in
his bid for re-election, that I challenge President Nixon directly from this stage.
If he is going to wear the mantle of moral and political leadership of this nation,
I challenge him to reveal the name of every contributor and the amount of every
contribution that has been received since January 1st of 1972. (Applause)
-3-
What is it that they're SO afraid of? (Voice from audience: "ITT!")
Did you hear what the young man says? Is ITT included in the ten million dollars?
Is the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation that got a $250 million dollar loan? (Applause)
I think we have a right to know whether corporate interests, whether powerful forces
of greed and privilege, are again contributing under the cover of darkness, and who
then will be around the day after the election -- if Mr. Nixon is re-elected, which
God forbid. (Laughter and applause)
It wears a little bit thin to hear the former Attorney General say the reason
they don't want to reveal the names is that some contributors are fearful that it
would expose them to requests for charitable contributions. (Applause)
Do you really think it's the Red Cross they're afraid of? (Cheers and applause)
I think we're talking about the most serious single political problem facing
this country today and that is the crisis in public confidence, the crisis of trust
and believability -- what has come to be known, in that painful phrase, the "credibility
gap".
That's just a kind of sophisticated way of saying we're a little short on honesty
and decency and truthfulness in politics today, and how much we need to restore in this
great country some measure of respect and confidence in each other.
You don't begin a campaign for the Presidency by asking the people to trust the
candidate. The condidate begins that process of trust by trusting the people. (Applause)
He trusts them enough to lay here the financial sources of his own campaign. He
trusts them enough to take the hard positions on complicated and dangerous issues.
He trusts then enough to speak what is on his conscience and what he believes is
in the public interest of this nation. (Applause)
So, what kind of a nation then do we want?
We want 2. nation that stands for peace; we want a nation that will not only end
this war but will resolve that never again will we S end our young men to die for a
corrupt military dictatorship. (Applause)
So let us understand that we have legitimate national interests around the globe;
we do have the need for an adequate defense: we must remain alert but we have no
obligation to bail out unreprecentative and unrespected dictatorships of the kind
we have been backing in Salgon. (Applause)
Secondly, we want the kind of leadership in this country where our president does
not tell us one thing in public while secretly planning a different course behind
closed doors. (Applause)
And we want a government with such a passion for justice that not even a $400,000
contribution will buy exemption from the antitrust laws for ITT or anyone else. (Applause)
If we truly want to save this country from the specter of giantism, from the
growth of conglomerate and corporate power, then the time has come to elect a
leadership that can break free from these special interests and enforce the antitrust
laws, back up the regulatory agencies and take steps on every question to see that the
public interest will be placed ahead of the forces of special interest and greed and
privilege that do not need a president to plead their case. (Applause)
I want us to remember that this country began with the great cry: "No taxation
without representation!" Translated into modern terms, that means no taxation without
justice.
It means that there's something fundamentally wrong with the tax structure that
last year permitted 40% of the great corporations of this country to go through the
loopholes and get by without paying one single dime in federal income taxes. (Applause)
-4-
And it means also that we will develop in this country the kind of law enforcement
orientation, the kind of Department of Justice, the kind of FBI, that is less interested
in snooping into the private lives of the citizens and more interested in putting
hard-drug racketeers and the crime syndicates behind bars. (Applause)
In this great state of New York there are more young people between the ages of 15
and 35 whose lives are being destroyed by hard drugs than by any other single disease
that afflicts this nation; and that calls not simply for rhetoric, but for an intelligent
and comprehensive effort to crack down in the first instance on the crime syndicates
and the drug racketeers, and in the second instance for an intelligent and comprehensive
research, educational, and rehabilitation program to deal with these tens of thousands
of people addicted to drugs in this state and in other parts of the nation. (Applause)
There's one other thing that I want to say here tonight as we call for this nation
to begin moving away from war in the direction of peace, to begin converting the engines
of destruction to the works of peace.
I know the job anxiety that arises in the minds not only of our veterans coming
back from Vietnam, but in the thoughts of many people all across this country who have
come to think that the only way we can sustain employment is with an enormous arms
industry or a war of some kind.
I believe with every fiber of my being, that if we will end this war, if we will
close the unjustified loopholes in our tax laws and invest those two sources of savings
in the construction of housing, in the development of environmental protection programs,
in the construction of public transit facilities, in better schools, neighborhood
health centers, child development centers -- all of these things that we know our
country needs -- I believe that with the same money we are now wasting on war and the
money we are now losing needlessly in tax loopholes, we can undertake the kind of works
in this country that will provide a fulfilling job for every man and woman in America
who wants to work. (Applause)
With all the needs of this society, there's no excuse for aerospace scientists,
machinists, technicians and electronic specialists being without jobs. There's no
excuse for college graduates to be haunted by the fear that they can't get a job.
(Applause)
There's no excuse for these young men coming back from Vietnam to be faced with
the specter of unemployment. (Applause) We ought to take steps in this country, we
ought to do whatever is necessary, to recognize that there is no greater waste than
to permit six or seven million men and women who want to work to be idle, to lose that
enormous potential of talent and skill and labor and energy that we need to build this
country into the kind of a land we want it to be.
Let me just say in conclusion that I'm aware that in recent years this country
has been embarked on such a painful and tragic course abroad, and we have been SO deeply
troubled here at home, that many of us have forgotten the greatness of America's
enduring ideals.
But if we remember that every one of us is the child of a great and free people
and we are no less than that, and if we now in 1972 make the decisions and make the
effort that will match our performance with the great ideals of this country, than
I believe that our children and future generations will love America, not simply
because they were born here, but because of the kind of great and good and decent land
that you and I together have made it.
Thank you very much. (Applause)

Pool on McGovern interviews. June 14 Jim Naughton
McGovern at WNET was interviewed by a panel of
citizens--six people in all--of varying backgrounds.
He tangled with Nick Kisburg, legislative director for
the teamsters union in New York. During a discussion
of his Vietnam position, McGovern said President Eisen-
hower had estimated 80% of the Vietnamese would have
chosen Ho Chi Minh in an election. Kisburg asked him:
"Sen., if 80% of the Vietnamese voted against the
Communists, would you then be for our troops being
there?" Ans.: "It would make a great difference."
Kisburg: "Does that mean we made a mistake not going
into Shew Czechoslovakia?" Ans.: "Well, if we'd have
tried to go into Czech... interrruption. Q:Sen., ....
did we make a moral mistake not going into Cz. using you
own formula?" Ans. "I would say no, that we did not
make a mistake." Qo. "What would you do, Sen, along tha
same line, if Russian troops invaded Israel? Would you
permit (âmerican) troops?" Ans.: "If that were
necessary to save Israel, I would, without question."
Q. "But not Cz.?" Are there no Cz. votes in NYS?"
Ans.: "There are Cz votes in NYS, but we had no
opportunity to intervene in CZeece"
The exchange was the highlight of the show. McG
generally gave pat answers although he told Lucille
Buffalino, Pres. of the celebrate Life Committee, and
anti-abortion League that he "would veto legislation
that had to do with setting aside state jurisdiction.".

going to tangle with.

inspector, who woanted to know about gun control Robert

SENATOR MCGOVERN HITS NIXON ADMINISTRATION ON ISRAEL POLICY
Senator George McGovern last night criticized President Nixon's
Middle East policy, charging that "the danger to Israel has increased"
since Mr. Nixon took office.
In remarks prepared for delivery at 9 P.M., Saturday at Temple
Shaaray Tefila, a Reform congregation on the Upper East Side (250
E. 79th St.), McGovern said: "When the present administration took
office, the President called the Middle East 'the most critical
foreign policy problem after Vietnam, 111 McGovern said. "Yet
the Middle East is no closer to peace today than it was then--and
the danger to Israel, in many respects, has increased. "
Charging the State Department under Mr. Nixon with reversing
previous policy and trying to impose a settlement through a con-
cert of outside powers, Sen. McGovern said only direct negotiations
between the parties involved, "without preconditions," can bring
peace to the area.

A SECURE ISRAEL -- AN AMERICAN GOAL
Text of address by Senator George McGovern
Temple Shaaray Tefila
250 East 79th Street
New York, New York
9 PM, Saturday, June 17, 1972
When Israel became a nation, I rejoiced, along with all
Americans. My wife and I have visited Israel on several occasions.
She has gone on archeological digs in the Negev. In my meetings
with Prime Minister Meir, with General Dayan and with Ambassador
Rabin, I have gained an understanding of their problems, and a grow-
ing respect for their vision and determination. Over the last
quarter of a century, I have watched how the people of Israel, though
harrassed on every side, have made the desert bloom and the cities
grow, and welcomed the oppressed from all the world. Israel has
meant new life. In a troubled area of the globe, it is a shining
light of progress and freedom. And I have always believed that if
American might and American influence are to be on the side of
freedom and peace, they must be on the side of insuring the security
and independence of the State of Israel.
I am proud to say these beliefs have been reflected in my
public record. I have supported every legislative effort to give
military and economic assistance to Israel since I came to Congress in
1957. In addition, I have on several occasions urged hesitant ad-
ministrations, both Democratic and Republican, to sell Israel the
equipment required for her defense. And I have opposed military
aid to other Middle Eastern countries when I felt it could be used
for militery activities against Israel.
I am proud also to have built a reputation as a spokesman
for peace. In a world like ours, peace requires ending wrong commit-
ments and maintaining the right ones. Being for peace does not mean
being weak, or naive, or afraid of confrontation. Being for peace
means willing to assume responsibilities to nations threatened by
aggression, being willing to help nations working for peace and justice,
and knowing where the real interest of the United States lies.
That is why I have always been disturbed by those who say
it is inconsistent for America to assist Israel while withdrawing
from the quagmire of Vietnam.
Israel is not Vietnam. It is, in fact, the very opposite
of Vietnam. The government of Saigon is a corrupt dictatorship which
long ago lost the support of its people. Israel is a democratic
nation, whose elected leadership has as firm a support among her
people as any government in the world. Vietnam is an internal struggle.
Israel is protecting herself against the threat of armed aggression
from hostile outside powers.

Southeast Asia is not essential to the economy and the
security of the United States. The Middle East is. The government
of Saigon is not interested in a peace settlement with its adver-
saries. Israeli leaders are. But most important, the Israelis
have never, and will never, ask for a single American soldier to
come and fight in their defense.
When the present Administration took office, the President
called the Middle East the "most critical foreign policy problem
after Vietnam." Yet the Middle East is no closer to peace today
than it was then -- and the danger to Israel, in many respects, has
increased.
Secretary Rogers and the State Department reversed the
policy of the previous Administration and tried to impose a settle-
ment through a concert of outside powers. This effort not only failed,
it helped stoke up the arms race, strengthened the forces of aggress-
ion and terrorism; and made it far more difficult for the Israelis
to gain acceptance for the only kind of negotiations which can bring
peace: direct negotiations, without preconditions, between the nations
of the Middle East themselves.
Our basic goal in the Middle East should be to maintain
the peace. But what is crucial is the kind of peace we should be
seeking. Not an unsteady quiet, maintained by a combination of Israel
military superiority and Arab disunity, punctuated by incidents of
terrorism and threatened by a dangerous inflow of arms. We want a
permanent peace, based on genuine reconciliation and mutual respect
between neighbors. I hope and pray that some day a leader of an Arab
nation will be courageous enough, and concerned enough for his own
people, to state publicly and unequivocally, "We must live in peace
with Israel."
But until these magic words are spoken and true recon-
ciliation begins, we must follow policies that avoid further bloodshed,
and improve the chances for eventual reconciliation.
In my view, the cornerstone of our policies in the Middle
East should be the survival of an Israel that is militarily secure,
politically democratic and economically sound. And the cornerstone
of any peace settlement must be a mutual agreement upon defensible
and recognized national boundaries capable of deterring any future
aggression.
All three Israel - Arab wars -- in 1948, 1956 and 1967 --
can be traced to the arbitrary and erratic lines drawn as Israel's
temporary boundaries. These boundaries, because of their tempting
vulnerability, were invitations to armed invasion and maritime blockade.
The 1949 lines, it is worth recalling, resulted from Arab invasions
and Israel's response.
Israel has stated its readiness to enter into negotiations
without prior conditions, and has expressed its willingness to with-
draw from the present ceasefire lines to new boundaries which the
negotiators would agree upon in a treaty of peace. The actions of the
United States can be crucial in advancing the day that peace can be
achieved in line with these principles.
I see four major areas in which the United States can
assert itself as a force for peace in the Middle East.
- MORE -
Page THREE
First: The most effective guarantee of both the present
cease-fire, and of a permanent peace, is the modern military deterrent
of the Israeli armed forces. Where we have hesitated in our military
support of Israel, the fragile fabric of peace has been weakened.
When we have supplied this help, conditions have stabilized. At a
time of massive Soviet arms shipments of the most modern available
equipment to other states, we have an obligation to furnish Israel
the advanced aircraft and other equipment necessary to prevent attack.
Our sale of these weapons should not be made contingent upon Israeli
agreement to American diplomatic demands. It should be an ongoing
commitment based solely upon the military requirements of the day.
Second: Israel needs substantial economic aid. It has, of
hard necessity, the largest per capita defense budget in the free
world. Yet it must continue to provide for refugees from the Soviet
Union and elsewhere. Much of Israel's economic aid is supplied by
people like yourselves. But our government can do more than it has.
In this connection, I have proposed an $85 million program, from
available refugee funds, to help de ay the costs of settling new
immigrants from the Soviet Union.
Third: Israel needs our diplomatic support, in support of
her basic peace proposals and her present policies in the arenas of
diplomacy, including the United Nations. I was distressed when the
United States joined in voting criticism of Israeli administration of
Jerusalem. In the last twenty centuries, Jerusalem has never seen
better rule than it sees today under the Israeli administration of
Mayor Kollek. The people have jobs -- Arabs and Jews. Health care is
available to all. The holy places of all religions are fully pro-
tected and under repair. The people of Jerusalem have gained from
Israeli administration and should continue under it. Furthermore,
the United States should recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
and move our embassy there.
Fourth: Israel needs our help in restraining Soviet
activity in the Middle East. For fifteen years, the Soviets have
fished in the troubled waters of the Eastern Mediterranean. Their
weapons and the stationing of their own personnel present a difficult
obstacle to negotiations. I would hope that, in the new period of
negotiation that has opened up with the Soviet Union, we might do
what we can to persuade them to join with us to encourage the kind of
non-imposed settlement that would take the Middle East out of the
theatre of big-power confrontation.
Next year is the 25th Anniversary of Israeli independence.
I intend, on that occasion, to be the first American President ever to
visit Israel while in office. I want to see the Negev; to relive
the story of Masada; to tour the Galilec; to see the great port of
Haifa; and to stand at the Western Wall at Friday sundown. I want to
join in the work of peace in that area of the world, as in others.
And I want to tell the people of Israel that Americans stand with them
in their work of development, and their determination to survive.
For when the Lord sent Abraham into a land "flowing with
milk and honey", he did not mean to turn it into a desert of backward-
ness or destruction. He chose his people well, and now that fate and
tragedy and hope have led them back to their land, it is our job to
help them stay there.

McGOVERN FOR PRESIDENT 605 FIFTH AVE (NR 49 ST) NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 (212) 832-1664
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Kirby Jones
June 18, 1972
212/997-9135
The following is a statement made today by Senator George McGovern:
"I note in the morning paper that President Nixon's closest economic adviser
has just fired the opening shot of this year's campaign against me for
the Administration in Washington.
Nixon obviously realizes that this year's Presidential campaign is going to
be waged primarily over the rampant unemployment, inflation, economic uncertainty
and favoritism which now burden this country.
He inherited some of the problems : but he has seriously further aggrevated all
of them. And he has caused billions of dollars of new problems and special
benefits and bail-outs for the super-rich.
With the sudden attack on me this week-end, he has now tipped his hand that he
is going to try to distract and cover up with the kind of political hatchet
work which has characterized every campaign he has ever run.
I don't think the American people will be fooled by that.
Unemployment persists at around 6% despite all the controls and gimmickry the
Administration has unsuccessfully tried this year.
Inflation eats away at the pocketbook of every American. And the press reported
just a few days ago that meat and other food prices are about to soar again
even though the consumer and farmer are both already being shortchanged.
Wage controls are squeezing the American working man and woman. But price
controls are not bothering the big corporations at all, as Administration
officials privately conceed. Corporate profits, for instance, soared to an
all-time high in the first quarter of this year.
The only consistent thing about the Nixon administration in the last year is
its econoimic favoritism in support of the big concentrations of wealth and
power in this country. That is evident in Nixon's major economic policies as
well as in its persistent refusal to help close the gaping tax loopholes which
favor I.T.T. , the oil industry and other economic giants.
There is irony in the President's chief economic adviser launching the Adminis-
trations's attack on me before a bankers' convention. But it was about the
only honest part of the whole performance.
Well, let me make clear to Richard Nixon that I welcome a full economic debate.
I believe the overwhelming majority of Americans - middle-class, working-class, and
less well-off groups - are fed up with his trickle-down attitude of corporations-
first, people-last.
And I predict the economic failures and favoritism of the Nixon administration,
as those put in bread-and-butter terms the injustices and unfairness of so
many Nixon policies, will be the main grist of this year's Presidential
campaign."

Sunday, June 18, 1972
Immediate Release
From: Lt. Gov. William Dougherty, South Dakota
New York
Lt. Governor Bill Dougherty, S.D.,
in New York to confer with Sen. George McGovern, today extended
an invitation to Mayor John V. Lindsay to visit the Black
Hills of South Dakota on his way home from the National Mayors'
Conference taking place this week in New Orleans.
"I am inviting Mayor Lindsay, as the head of the nation's
largest city, to visit what has been called the most beautiful
recreation area in the nation - the Black Hills of South Dakota"
Dougherty said after visiting Gracie Manison, the Mayor's official
residence, to extend the invitation.
"The recent flood destruction was confined almost entirely
to Rapid City," Dougherty noted, "and while it was terrible in its
cost to life and property, the heavy sudden rain was one of those
once-in-a-century occurences which the people there are stout-
heartedly coping with.
"All the rest of South Dakota has rallied to help Rapid
City. But it has also put the welcome mat out for all the Americans
who find the Black Hills one of the country's last great natural
settings. I can't imagine a lovelier place for the nation's mayors
to visit after their week of grappling with the problems of urban
congestion, environmental pollution, and the other ills of the
great metropolitan centers.
"Out in the wide-open country, we are looking forward
to a friendly summer for many thousands of touring Americans. Werd

like to show the nation's mayors the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore,
and all the other attractions there."
Statement by Senator George MdGovern
For immediate release June 19, 1972
I have cancelled my schedule of airport appearances in upstate
New York today in order to show my sympathy for the efforts of
airline pilots throughout the world to bring an end to the growing
epidemic of airplane sabotage and hijacking.
My action is not intended to reflect upon the Chief Justice's order
of last evening. American pilots are under court order to fly today.
I am not. This is an international crisis, to which the United States
has probably responded as well as any other country. Those of us who
are not covered by this order should help dramatize the need for action
by the international community.
In recent years, the airplane has become a favorite target of black-
mailers, demonstrators and political terrorists. Thousands of lives
have been threatened and hundreds of lives have been lost. Any disturbed
person with a gun in his hand, any political gang, can hold a plane full
of people at hostage and disrupt the commerce of whole nations. The
recent atrocity at Lydda Airport near Tel Aviv, in which 25 innocent
persons were killed, many of them Catholic pilgrims, was but, the latest
in a long series of atrocities in the air.
All of this has come about because security and inspection procedures
at many of the airports of the world are not adequate; and because there
a
are no enforceable international extradition procedures to apprehend and
punish the pirates of the air. The airline pilots, who must live with
this threat every working day, have tried for years to bring about respon-
sive international action. Their current action is taken not only for
themselves but for.all who travel by air.
The Security Council of the United Nations should meet without
delay to coordinate action by all countries on this vital matter.
It should do everything it can to encourage adoption by all international
aipports of baggage inspection procedures tight enough to detect weapons
and explosives. It should strongly urge all nations to ratify the pending
treatic on skyjacking, so that aerial pirates cannot play upon political
differences between nations to gain asylum. I am distressed that certain
nations are drawing distinctions, in their willingness to cooperate on
extradition, between piracy for money and piracy for so-called "political"
reasons. Both pose an equal danger to passengers and to the security of the
international community.
This is not a strike, but an urgent protest. I regret the inconvenience
to those whose travel plans have been disrupted today. But I hope they
will see it as a small price to pay for bringing about the day when all of
us will be able to travel the airwąys: free from fear.

MEMO TO: Editors, News Directors, Assignments Desks
FROM:
McGovern Press Office
RE:
Election Night Coverage and Credentials
The McGovern campaign will be headquartered election night
(Tuesday, June 20) at the Hotel Biltmore. The main activity will
occur in the Grand Ballroom on the 19th Floor.
The enclosed diagram and this memo should serve to clarify
the elction night coverage arrangements.
PRESS FACILITIES
TELEVISION: Platforms will be provided in the center of the ballroom
floor about 30 feet from the stage for both live and reel cameras.
The networks are providing the lighting and sound pools. Live
cameras will be positioned on the forward platform, reel cameras
directly behind on a slightly more elevated platform.
LIVE RADIO: Audio outlets planning live coverage will be positioned
along the south wall (stage left) in the area near the stage. Communica-
tions must be secured directly through the phone company. Each outlet
will be assigned six feet of table space, if necessary. The McGovern
campaign will provide a patchbox.
TAPED RADIO: Audio outlets planning taped coverage will be positioned
in the south balcony directly above the live radio area. The McGovern
campaign will provide a patchbox and seven phones. Audio outlets
desiring their own phones should order directly from the phone company.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO RADIO: No microphones can be placed on
the podium. The McGovern campaign will provide patches.
PRINT PRESS: Legitimate print press will be positioned in the balcony --
the latter two-thirds of the south side and the entire north side. Seven
phones are available on the south side and 10 on the north side. The
phone company will install additional phones on the spot if necessary.
A limited number of typewriters will also be available.
PHOTOGRAPHERS: Photographers from the wire services, daily newspapers
and weeklyn news magazines, while free to roam anywhere, will be pro-
vided a roped-off area directly in front of the stage for easy
access to the Senator.
ALL PRESS: Except for the balcony and the stage front photo area,
both restricted to the media assigned to them, all areas on the 19th
Floor (Ballroom floor, Foyer, Fountain Court) are open to the press.
In addition, a press room equipped with 11 phones, typewriters,
and a cash bar will be open beginning at 5:30 PM Tuesday. This room
is open to all credentialed press.
CREDENTIALS
The McGovern campaign will issue press credentials for election
night, different from those given in the past few weeks for coverage.
It is advisable to wear New York Police credentials in addition
to the McGovern credentials.
Credentials can be applied for through the McGovern press
office 212/593-8254 or at the West (press) Room on Election Night.
123
All credentials will be distributed from 5:30 PM through the evening
in the West Room on the 19th Floor at the Biltmore.
-over-
The following credentials will be distributed and are necessary
for admission to assigned areas:
BLUE: Print and radio tape media granted balcony space will be
issued blue tags, which should be prominently displayed. Blue tags
will also admit the bearer to the West Room.
PINK: Pink tags will be issued to photographers assigned to the
stage front area. Only two such passes will be granted per news outlet.
Additional photographers from a news outlet will not be admitted to
this area, but will have access to the rest of the ballroom. Pink tags
admit the bearer to the West Room. The balcony is closed to photographers
per order of the Secret Service.
BUFF: Buff-colored tags will be distributed to those who do not
desire or are not granted blue or pink tags. This group would include
roving reporters, weekly papers, etc. They will admit the bearer to the
West Room as well as to unrestricted 19th Floor areas.
Television or live radio personnel requesting buff tags (access to
the West Room) will be issued them. No specific McGovern credentials
will be necessary for use of the TV platforms or live radio facilities.
New York Police credentials should be worn.
ELECTION RETURNS
Because the polls close as late as 10 PM on Tuesday, returns will
come in very late. The McGovern campaign, however, has posted people
in key districts around the state who will phone in results to
the ballroom floor, where they will be posted or announced.
INTERVIEWS WITH SENATOR McGOVERN AND STAFF
Since New Hampshire, Senator McGovern has chosen to watch election
returns alone with his family, and thus has been unavailble for interviews
prior to his appearance on the ballroom floor.
The Senator himself will appear on the ballroom floor when results
are reasonably conclusive, perhaps about midnight.
The following key members of the staff, however, will be available
for press briefings and interviews throughout the evening:
Prof. Richard Wade -- State Chairman
Gary Hart -- National Campaign Director
Edward Rogoff -- State Campaign Manager
Frank Mankiewicz -- National Political Director
Pierre Salinger -- National Political Coordinator
Pat Cadell -- Cambridge Survey Research, campaign pollster
Arrangements for contacting these people can be made throughout
the evning by contacting Julie Adler, Susan Denvir, Bill Gruver or
Dave Sugerman in the assigned press areas or the West Room.
STILL PHOTO SESSION
In order to meet newspaper deadlines, Senator McGovern will be
available once during the evening for a still photo session in his room,
as he and his family watch the returns. Only photographers with pink
tags will be permitted to this photo session. Because the Senator's
New Orleans schedule for Tuesday afternoon is still uncertain, the time
of the photo session will be announced later. It should occur at
approzimately 9 PM.
POST-ELECTION ANALYSIS
The leaders of Senator McGovern's New York and national campaigns
(mentioned above) will hold a press conference on Wednesday morning at
the Hotel Biltmore to analyze the results of the New York primary and
assess its impact on the convention. Details on time and room to come.
