This contact will be made by phone, and through weekly mailings of suggested statements to be used as press releases. These suggested statements will cover three categories each week on a different issue: 1. Suggested statement to be used if your opponent has not taken a stand on whether he supports McGovern. 2. Suggested statement to be used if your opponent has endorsed McGovern. 3. Suggested statement to be used if your opponent has announced against McGovern. The purpose and aim is: The President now enjoys a very healthy lead, according to the latest polls. We hope our House and Senate candidates, through their support of the President, can profit from this lead. Enclosed is a copy of the letter and the first three releases which were mailed to our candidates today. Enclosures DENTIAL 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 (202) 353-0920 September 2, 1972 Dear Enclosed are suggested statements, which may be the subjects of news releases, depending on the circumstances in your campaign. Obviously, these are subject to whether you are in agreement with the contents. Barbara Higgins of my office will be calling you within the next week to discuss the campaign in more detail. With best wishes, Sincerely, E. D. Failor Special Assistant to Clark MacGregor Enclosures (Name Title Address) #1 SUGGESTED PRESS RELEASE TO BE USED IF YOUR OPPONENT HAS NOT STATED HIS POSITION ON SENATOR MC GOVERN: (Name and title of candidate and/or incumbent) today branded Senator McGovern's welfare proposals "irresponsible and ill conceived giveaway programs which would double taxes on the average family and dramatically increase the welfare rolls. (Last name and title of candidate and/or incumbent) demanded that (your opponent's name and title) state "clearly and concisely" whether or not he supports the McGovern program. (Last name and title of candidate and/or incumbent) charged that Senator McGovern's tax and welfare program unveiled last week in New York is "out of balance by at least $99 billion and probably more." "Senator McGovern says his program would mean no new taxes on Americans who make less than $22,000 a year," (last name and title of candidate and/or incumbent) said, "but that is a cruel deception. Senator McGovern would either have to finance his giveaway schemes by increased taxes or through massive federal deficits which would touch off explosive inflation. Either way, the American working family pays the bill," he said. "The Nixon Administration has calculated the necessary taxes to pay for Sen. McGovern's welfare package at an additional $1,038 on a family of four making $12,500 a year," (last name of candidate and/or incumbent) said. I want to know if (your opponents last name and title) endorses this McGovern program or not. #### #2 2 SUGGESTED PRESS RELEASE IF YOUR OPPONENT HAS ANNOUNCED HE WILL NOT SUPPORT SEN. MC GOVERN: DATELINE, Date --- (Name and title of incumbent and/or candidate) demanded today that (your opponent's name and title) "accept or reject the McGovern welfare and tax proposals unveiled in New York last week." 11 (Your opponent's last name and title) has said he doesn't support Sen. McGovern," (your last name and title) said, "but the people of (the location of your constituency, i.e., 3rd Congressional District of Iowa) are entitled to know where he stands on the welfare programs advanced by his party's Presidential candidate." "These programs would increase the tax bill on a family of four earning $12,500 per year by at least $1,038," (your last name and title) said. "That would double the average family's tax bill." "Sen. McGovern claims his programs would not increase taxes," (your last name and title), said. "But the total program is out of balance by at least $99 billion. The only way to pay for that kind of program is through increased taxes or by massive federal deficits that would fuel the fires of inflation." "I am totally and unalterably opposed to such irresponsible welfare spending," (your last name and title) said. "The people of (location of your constituency) are entitled to know if (your opponent's last name and title) is, too." #### SE NO. 3 SUGGESTED PRESS RELEASE IF YOUR OPPONENT HAS ENDORSED SEN. MC GOVERN: DATELINE, Date -- (Name and title of incumbent and/or candidate) said today that (your opponent's name and title) "cannot escape responsibility for Sen. George McGovern's latest tax and welfare proposals, proposals that, (your last name and title) said, "would double the tax bill of the average family if they were enacted by the Congress." (Your last name and title) said that (your opponent's last name) is openly supporting Sen. McGovern, "and therefore must explain to the people of (location of your constituency, i.e., 3rd Congressional District of Iowa) why he thinks programs which would increase taxes on a family of four making $12,500 a year by $1,038 per year are good programs." "Sen. McGovern has re-jiggered the details of his famous plan to give every American $1,000 per year regardless of his income," (your last name and title) said. "But the McGovern goal remains the same: to tax the working people of America in order to multiply the nation's welfare rolls." "Sen. McGovern and (your opponent's name) apparently are convinced that America needs to put more and more people on welfare," (your last name and title) charged. "I believe we should put more and more people into productive jobs." "Sen. McGovern and (vour opponent's name) think we should increase taxes on working people to pay for their welfare programs," (your last name and title) said. "President Nixon and I think we should do something to lower taxes." "There is no escaping simple arithmetic," (your name and title) said. "And the arithmetic of the McGovern tax and welfare schemes says they are out of balance by at least $99 billion. McGovern and (your opponent's name) would either have to raise taxes or run the federal government into a huge deficit which would fuel the fires of inflation." "Either way, the average family pays the bill." #### COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM September 11, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: CLARK MACGREGOR FROM: JEB S. MAGRUDER SUBJECT: Edward C. Nixon W Campaign Activities Ed Nixon has inquired about the advisability of his campaigning or actively supporting candidates that are personal friends of his. Attached is a copy of a proposed fund- raising letter (TAB A) that Ed wishes to sign on the behalf of a New York candidate and friend Bob Carroll. From a legal standpoint there are no problems in fund-raising, but there are obvious political implications. Thus, a policy decision is needed. 1. Do you approve of Ed Nixon's endorsing State candidates? YES NO COMMENT 2. Should Ed Nixon involve himself in fund-raising events for another candidate? YES NO COMMENT 3. If we believe Ed should be allowed to support State condidates, I suggest we review each on an individual basis. YES NO COMMENT 9/13 Edward M Nixon WASHINGTON, D.C. August 10th, 1972 Dear Mr. Baker: I am taking time from my efforts in behalf of my brother's reelection to ask for your support of a very important legislative campaign in New York State. I refer to the election bid of Bob Carroll. At twenty one years of age, Bob is the youngest candidate in New York. He won his Assembly nominat- ion in the Republican Primary by a two to one margin, gathering 65% of the vote in a major upset. He now faces a difficult uphill battle against an ultra- liberal Democrat. I believe that Bob Carroll has a bright future ahead of him in public life. My support of him is not simply a pro forma endorsement. I have known Bob for several years, and I feel he would make an outstanding legislator. The Republican party certainly needs the support of qualified young men and women; please give them a vote of confidence by making a generous donation to Bob Carroll's campaign. Make your check payable to, "Carroll for Assembly", and mail it in the enclosed envelope. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope we can rely on your support. Sincerely, Edward E. Nixon ECN;nc Mr. George Baker, Jr. 2 Wall Street New York, New York 10005 CC: Mr. Haldeman / Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM September 14, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacCREGOR THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. & SUBJECT: Status of Our Committees as of the September 10th Filings at the GAO The Finance Committee's list of authorized committees shows 67 com- mittees which have been authorized to operate on behalf of the President. (See attached Tab "A"). Records at the GAO, however, indicate that 140* committees have filed registration statements with GAO purporting to operate on behalf of the President. (See attached Tab "B"). The 76 committees so registered and shown on the GAO print-out as supporting the President, but are not on our Finance Committee's list of authorized committees are listed on Tab "C". The three committees authorized by the Finance Committee to act on behalf of the President which are not registered as yet with the GAO are: 1. Illinois United Republican Fund 2. Republican Victory Committee 3. National Hispanic Finance Committee to Re-elect the President Of the authorized committees registered with the GAO, the following 16 have not filed the required September 10th report as yet: Arkansas Finance Committee California Finance Committee Bay Area Citizens Committee to Re-elect the President Georgia Finance Committee Nixon-Nunn Kentucky Campaign Committee Michigan Finance Committee Mississippi Finance Committee * Of the original 152 committees registered, 12 have been terminated. (Cont.) -2- New Hampshire Finance Committee Pennsylvania Finance Committee South Dakota Finance Committee Tennessee Finance Committee Texas Finance Committee Washington Finance Committee Puerto Rico Finance Committee Virgin Islands Finance Committee Southern California Presidential Dinner I am forwarding a copy to Maurice Stans and will work with Stanley Ebner to assist him in getting our committees filed. Further, I am suggesting to him that they send a letter to each committee not authorized by us, but listed with GAO as operating on our behalf, advising them that they are not so authorized by us with a copy of that letter to GAO. Further, there are 68 other Republican Party committees throughout the country who have not filed with GAO.

Haldeman Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM September 13, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. SUBJECT: Delays in Availability of McGovern Committee September Tenth Financial Statements Our continuing research of the McGovern committees has now focused upon the statutorily required September 10th financial statements. Due to the processing procedures employed by the Office of Federal Elections and the apparant failure of many of the McGovern committees to file, the financial statements of only 117 of the 348 committees which have registered as advocating the McGovern candidacy have been obtained. We are in possession of all September 10th McGovern committee financial statements which have been made publicly available as of 4 p.m., Wednesday, September 13th. These statements were to be filed by 5 p.m. Monday, September 11th or postmarked no later than Friday, September 8th in order to have been considered timely. Before a financial statement which is received by the Office of Federal Elections is made available for public viewing, it must be processed internally. There is presently a time lag of 48 to 74 hours between the point when the statement is first received and the point when it is released to the public. Thus, statements which were received before the close of business on Monday should be available by 10 a.m., Thursday, September 14th. This schedule approximates the time requirements of Section 20.2(a) of the Comp- troller General's Rules and Regulations which provides that filed statements are to be made available for public inspection or dup- licating "not later than the end of the second day following the date of receipt 11 The Office of Federal Election's processing procedures are as fol- lows: once received, the envelope containing the statement is opened and the statement is "stamped-in"; the receipt of the state- ment is physically noted on the computer print-out sheet; the com- mittee's identification number is checked for accuracy and a new identification number is assigned to distinguish the particular statement of the committee; a file folder is prepared for the state- ment; information from the statement is placed on key punch cards; photostatic copies of the statement are produced for public viewing and the master, or original, is placed in a secured file; and a public availability list is prepared. Statements listed on the pub- lic availability list can then be viewed and photostatic copies ob- -2- tained therefrom. Since photostatic copies of the September 10th statements are essential to our research, there is an additional time lag of five to seven hours for the Office of Federal Elections to produce such copies. Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM September 10, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MACGREGOR THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. SUBJECT: September 10th Filings of the McGovern Campaign Committees For your information, we have developed a systematic procedure by which to monitor and to investigate all financial statements filed by the McGovern Campaign committees with the Office of Fed- eral Elections. Having researched all the pre-convention finan- cial statements of these committees, we are now prepared to scru- tinize photostatic copies of these statutorily required September 10th filings within 24 hours after receipt by the Office of Fed- eral Elections. The September 10th filings are required to cover the period be- tween the date of the last filed pre-convention statement and August 31st. Since September 10th fell on a Sunday, financial statements filed on Monday, September 11th, will be deemed to be timely. As of Saturday, September 9th, of the more than 1,000 political commit- tees registered with the Office of Federal Elections, only 140 com- mittees had filed September 10th statements. In order to examine these statements as quickly as possible once they have been filed, arrangements have been made with the Office of Federal Elections to provide us on a daily basis with all of the McGovern Campaign committee's financial statements submitted within the prior 24 hour period. In examining the more than 1,000 pre-convention statements spawned by approximately 305 McGovern Campaign committees, the expertise we gained will greatly facilitate further research. In addition, there is also an important interrelationship between the pre-convention and September 10th filings, since the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 requires that each financial statement reflect all transac- tions of the present reporting period as well as all aggregate trans- actions from the beginning of the calendar year. Because of this vast proliferation of documents, we developed a filing system which would allow prompt accessibility to (1) all McGovern Cam- paign committees which we catalogued first as to the state in which the committees are located and secondly, by the name of the committee and (2) all financial statements which are keyed to cross indices as to both the name and the identification number of the committee. The Honorable Clark MacGregor September 10, 1972 Page 2-- In addition to examining the McGovern Campaign committees' financial statements for irregularities and violations of the Campaign Act, the following information will be extracted from the September 10th filings of each committee as it has been from the pre-convention statements: A. the amount donated and the identity of all in- dividuals who have contributed $1,000 or more; B. the original amount, the outstanding balance and the identity of the sources of all loans; C. the amount and the identity of the receiving and contributing committees making transfers of funds; D. the total amount received in individual contri- butions of more than $100; and E. the total amount received in individual contri- butions of less than $100. As soon as we have an opportunity to review the financial statements, we will promptly inform you of all the substantive findings of our research. Send TO GORDW STRACHAN COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM September 12, 1972 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. SUBJECT: November Ballot by State as of September 11th Based on information available to us as of September 11th, we have prepared an analysis of the presidential ballot in each state. We plan to provide follow-up information for those states where the ballot is not firm. We have focused upon Representative Schmitz and Dr. Spock in a summary table which indicates their ballot status by state. (Tab "A"). As of September 11th, Schmitz will definitely not be on the ballot in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Indiana, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts,, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and West Virginia. He will most likely not be able to attain ballot status in Georgia, Missouri and New York. Wallace is still the American Party's listed candidate in New Jersey. In order for Schmitz to be substituted for Wallace in that state, New Jersey law requires that Wallace decline in writing the American Party's nomination by September 28th. As of the present date Spock's name appears on the ballot in Cali- fornia, Colorado and Kentucky. It is likely that he will soon attain ballot position in Idaho and New Jersey. Finally, based on our present findings, it is possible that he will be listed in Montana, New Mexico, Washington and Wisconsin as well. A more detailed analysis listing all presidential candidates by party in each state is attached at Tab "B". Included is a de- scription of the status of the ballot (i.e., whether candidates may still be added through the standard procedure or by court action). We have also indicated the order in which candidates are to be listed in each state.

CC: Mr. Haldeman / Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM September 13, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. & SUBJECT: Youth Against McGovern Literature circulated by Youth Against McGovern was brought to our attention by Rob Odle. We have investigated this com- mittee and have learned that it is not registered with the Comptroller General's Office. For this reason Youth Against McGovern is presently in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. In addition, it is in violation of Section 12.7 of the Comptroller General's Regulations which provide that any political committee shall include on the face of all literature or any advertisements soliciting funds the standard notice that copies of its financial statements are available to the public through the U.S. Government Printing Office. As is evidenced by the solicitation literature you have provided us, such requisite public notice is lacking. See attached Item A. Because there is a likelihood that the public may view this Committee as part of the President's re-election campaign ef- fort and that the Office of Federal Elections may construe this committee's activities as having been conducted on be- half of the President, I have sent the attached letter (Item B) to the Youth Against McGovern committee with a copy to Phillip Hughes of the Office of Federal Elections at the GAO. cc: Mr. Frederic V. Malek Mr. Robert C. Odle, Jr. Fellow Concerned American: George McGovern has won in Miami he may be the next President of the United States! How did a radical like McGovern capture control of the Demo- cratic Party? George McGovern used the vehicle of youth power to seize control of the Democratic Party. Now he plans to use the same power to capture the Presidency. McGovern's strategy for 1972 is to organize the new 18 year old vote of nearly 25 million into an army of volunteers that will bring him victory in November. He may succeed, please read on Youth Against McGovern was organized to demonstrate that millions of young people are opposed to McGovern and his radical youth army. --They don't want to legalize marijuana that destroys lives, as McGovern does --They don't want amnesty for draft dodgers, as McGovern does --They don't want to redistribute the wealth by rewarding those who won't work, as McGovern does --They don't want to cut defense spending SO that our country is left defenseless, as McGovern does --They don't want to legalize abortion, as McGovern does Today, millions of young people do not support, but, in fact are against George McGovern. Unfortunately, many are confused and bewildered after the big media buildup for McGovern. We must reach these young people with the message that not all young people support George McGovern. Here's what we're doing. Across the nation thousands of student leaders are answering the call to join in and expose McGovern. On campus and in communities, literature is being passed out on McGovern's radical positions; meetings are being held to inform citizens about McGovern; pro-McGovern speakers are being challenged in debate; and anti-McGovern students are going door to door to reach the people with the truth. In Washington, a headquarters has been established to reach the nation's press with news about the Youth Against McGovern movement. From this co-ordinating center, anti-McGovern litera- ture is being shipped to local leaders for distribution. Most importantly, the Youth Against McGovern shatters the myth that young people want George McGovern to be the next President of the United States. Young people don't want this and neither do you. To go on we must have your assistance. Youth Against McGovern needs funds immediately. Unlike the young McGovern radicals who are being financed by the various peace and disarmament lobbies, Y.A. M. must draw its support from you and other patriotic citizens. You can stop George McGovern by hitting at his potential strength-- the youth vote. If McGovern reaches enough young people with his message (there are some 25 million new voters in 1972) he will win in '72. Support Youth Against McGovern by donating today. Please send your contribution now. A postage paid envelope is enclosed for your convenience. We must stop George McGovern. Sincerely, Hellt 9.

Washington, D.C. 20006 Dear Sir: The campaign fund solicitation activities of Youth Against McGovern have recently come to our attention. We have re- ceived political literature mailed by Youth Against McGovern which requests the addressee to contribute to your "political committee. The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 now requires all persons, associations, committees, etc., which anticipates expending monies or receiving cóntributions of $1,000 or more, to file a statement of registration with the Comptroller General since they fall with- in the definition of a political committee. That Act also requires a public notice to be printed on all literature used by the politi- cal committee to solicit funds, stating that copies of reports which must be filed with the Comptroller General pursuant to the Act are available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. The records of the General Accounting Office do not reflect that you have complied with the registration, reporting, or public notice provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971. Youth Against McGovern is not in any way associated with the Com- mittee for the Re-election of the President, Finance Committee to Re-elect the President, or any other committee authorized by the President to act on his behalf. In order to insure that the neces- sary notice of distinction is formally recorded, a copy of this letter has been sent to Philip S. Hughes, Director, Office of Fed- eral Elections, General Accounting Office, 441 G Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20548. Very truly yours, Glenn J. Sedam, If. General Counsel Le: mr. Haldeman Committee for the Re-election of the President MEMORANDUM September 14, 1972 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR FROM: GLENN J. SEDAM, JR. SUBJECT: The President's Appearance in Television Commercials Bill Timmons has asked us about the legal consequences of a can- didate for the Senate using film clips of himself with the Presi- dent as the basis of television commercials. The purchase of broadcast time "on behalf' of" any candidate for Federal office must, under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, be applied against the applicable communications media ex- penditure limitation for the office in question. The issue posed is whether the media expenditure involved for broadcasting such a film clip can be charged wholly against the Senatorial candidate media ad- vertising campaign or must be jointly allocated between his limitation and that of the President. The new law requires that all communications media advertisements, whether or not authorized, made in furtherance of the candidacy of any legally qualified candidate for Federal office shall be deemed to be made by that candidate. At this point in time the issue of whether the content of a particular advertisement advocates a Federal candidacy is frequently a subjective one. The Comptroller General's Regulations, however, make specific provision as to this question in regard to the factual circumstances you have raised. Section 4.4 thereof states: "A use of communications media is deemed to be 'on behalf of the candidacy' of any such candidate if the use (1) in- volves his participation by voice or image or advocates his candidacy; or (2) identifies the candidate, directly or by implication, or advocates his candidacy.' We are of the view that this interpretation is unduly broad. There is unfortunately little which can be done from a legal standpoint to alter it. Congress did not itself make provision as to what con- stitutes a use of communications media "on behalf of" a candidate in the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, but specifically left that determination to the Comptroller General. The Comptroller -2- General adopted a definition similar to that established by the FCC in deciding equal time and fairness doctrine questions pur- suant to Section 315 of the Federal Communications Act of 1934. The courts, as a rule, are loathe to upset a clear delegation of authority from Congress to establish appropriate regulatory standards absent a showing of unreasonableness. From a practical standpoint, the new law places the burden of deciding whether an advertisement is being made on behalf of a particular candidate or candidates upon the owner of the communi- cations media being utilized. He is prohibited from charging a fee for carrying an advertisement advocating a Federal candidacy without first obtaining a certification from an authorized repre- sentative of the candidate in issue. Except in those instances where opposition candidates may be monitoring media activities, this is the only effective check on advertising expenditures. We have made provision in our media limitation budget for the committee to co-certify a number of joint advertisements pro- moting both local candidates and the President. Some $300,000 worth of the value of advertising permitted to us has been allo- cated for these purposes. The senatorial candidates involved in the particular advertise- ments you are producing should contact the Nixon committee chair- man in their state to obtain the necessary certification to pro- vide to the media owner running the commerical. The cost of the broadcast time will be apportioned against both candidate's media limitations. Production costs and other incidental costs involved in preparing an advertisement are not chargeable against the limitation and need not be allocated. The law states that the candidates are to agree among themselves as to the appropriate division of braodcast time charges. The only requirement is that whatever apportionment is determined be "reasonable". The issue at stake is not whose funds are being utilized to pay for the advertisement, but the extent to which it benefits each candidate. In determining the reasonableness of the percentages to be used, we would suggest that such factors as the theme of the advertisement, and the relative impact on the respective races for the offices in question be taken into account. Where one candidate utilizes his campaign funds to pay for part or all of that portion of an advertisement chargeable to another candidate, the expenditure must be reported as a contribution in kind to the other's campaign. For your information I have attached at Tab "A" a letter that is being sent to state Nixon chairmen on the subject of joint adver- tising. A 1 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005 (202) 233-0920 September 12, 1972 Dear Mr. Hartman: As you know, one of the President's major objectives is to ensure the election of Republicans to Congressional and State offices. In line with this objective, he plans to give up a portion of his advertising Limitation (not actual dollars) to each state for use in joint advertising. The purpose of this letter is to outline our program. By way of background, the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 requires that the charges for joint advertising on behalf of the candidacy of more than one candidate for federal elective office must be appropriately apportioned to each of the candidates' media spending limitation and each candidates' apportioned share must be certified by that candidate. The certification is that his apportioned share of the charge for advertising does not exceed his media spending limitation under Title I of the Act. To permit you maximum flexibility in scheduling joint advertising of other candidates with the President, we have devised a system to help in your effort. First, we will supply your Finance Chairman with preprinted certificates drawn against the President's limitation to be used by you in your state. These certificates will be in denominations of $10, $20, $50, and $100 and total $1,116 for your state, Second, within this dollar limitation, these certificates contain no restriction on the manner of use and therefore may be employed to support the President's share of joint advertising as you best see fit. However, as a condition of your authority to make these judgements, you must assume the following responsibilities: A. The Act stipulates that each candidate must certify to a reasonable allocation of the joint advertising cost. You - working with your Finance Chairman - will be responsible for determining that the allocation as to the President's share is accurate. Obviously, we look to you to avoid the penaltics that accrue if the allocations are deemed unreasonable by the Federal Elections office. B. In addition to the prepaid certificate, the law requires that you also provide the medium with certain other in- formation about the advertisement. A form for this pur- pose is attached. A copy of this Sorm must also be sent to your Nixon State Finance Chairman. This will provide him with the information he legally must report on schedule C of Election Form #3. C. Regardless of the media expenditure allocation for certification purposes, 100% of the actual money cost for joint advertising must be provided on a State or local level. No dollar obligation will be assumed by the Committee for the Re-election of the President. D. You will be responsible for determining that any joint advertising involving the President's participation is in good taste and in keeping with the tone of the national campaign. In no instance should Mr. Nixon's name or image be associated with undesirable advertising, such as that containing derogatory statements about the opposition, involving name-calling, and the like. A detailed explanation concerning the control and issuance of the presigned forms will be provided to your State Finance Committee Chairman in the letter transmitting the certifications to him, a copy of which will be provided to you. Notifying candidates in your state will be your responsibility. Similarly, you will have to determine how best to "spend" your state's allocation. As you can imagine, it is very important that you fully comply with the Federal Elections Campaign Act of 1971 in the use of the certifications delegated to you. Therefore, if you have any questions concerning the use of these certifications, please call me or call our General Counsel, Mr. Glenn Sedam, at 202/333-1912.

Our last 6 was BACKGROUND MEMORANDUM In 1874, Dismaeli attacked Gladatone's period of great reform in a reply to an election address by Gladstone. Disraeli did not say much about social reform or the empire, although he devoted a good deal of space to the alleged inequities of the government's policy over the Straights of Malacca, an issue on which they had, so he claimed, been insufficiently careful of British interest. Disraeli's main theme was essentially negative - a straightforward conservative attack upon "incessant and harassing legislation" and the dangerous opinions of the advanced liberals. He conceded that the Prime Minister "is not certainly at present opposed to our national institutions or the integrity of our empire", but he claimed that many of his supporters were hostile to the monarchy, the House of Lords, the Church of England, and the union with Ireland. This father negative line probably accorded better with the public meed, than a more constructive declaration of policy. Often, after a period of strenuous reform, a moment arrives quite suddenly, when the British people tires of being improved. 2 This was just such an occasion. Gladstone's administration was the first avowed and vigorous reformist government since Gray's and its legislation had annoyed almost as many groups and interests as the Whigs had managed to offend between 1830 and 1834. In fact, Disracli found himself playing the role of Peel in the 1830s - a rallying point for the forces of property, disturbed at excessive innovation, though ready to accept the need for cautious, piecemeal reform. Disraeli was determined to beat the patriotic drum, and he was right in gauging the impatience of the voters with the little Englander and internationalist tone which seemed to sound #0 often in the speeches of leading liberals.

HALDEMAN Jury Jones September 4, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: YVP STATE CHAIRMEN & DIRECTORS YVP FIELD PERSONNEL FROM: KEN RIETZ FOR THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: September 16 Kickoff From all reports the convention went well. The publicity was superb and the reaction of most young people who attended was very enthusiastic. All of you are to be congratulated for a great effort. The next step in our YVP effort is turning out volunteers for the Committee for the Re-election of the President "Sixty Days to Victory" program. This is the voter identification and turnout program that is essential for a maximum Nixon vote on election day. Attached is a manual that describes the activities involved in this program. This is our chance to put YVP volunteers to work. We now have over 250,000 young volunteers and all of them want to do "meaningful" work. There is nothing more meaningful than this program. When the Young Voters for the President began in 1971, we set as our target 500,000 volunteers. We felt that if this many young people worked actively for the re-election of the President it would have a dramatic impact on the youth vote. We have been building a volunteer organization since that time. Now it's time to put those volunteers to work. Through the Nixon State and Local Chairmen, we should be supplying thousands of volunteers to this effort. September 16th is the kickoff and we have indicated to Clark MacGregor that 50% of all volunteers that day will be Young Voters. That's our challenge, and I think we can live up to it. September 16th is the beginning. Let's get out our volunteers. After that, let's put them to work in this program, manning store 'front headquarters, stuffing envelopes, etc. There's lots of work to do so let's get our people active. 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006 (202) 333-4570 bc: Fred Malek, Regional Directors, Rick Fore Jerry Jones COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT MEMORANDUM September 11, 1972 Attached is a Revised Checklist as of September 11, 1972, 2 PM.

Introduction Emphasis on the people-to-people level should be the main thrust of the media campaign to be conducted by state and regional committee staffs. It is expected that this campaign will get big play nationally, but, in addition, we expect excellent state and local coverage, parti- cularly if the volunteers, who are active in their communities should become involved, as should Older Americans, Youth, Labor organizations, Businessmen, Heritage groups, Educators and other groups. Set forth below is the suggested PR Plan on the state level. The Political Department of the Committee will be responsible for distri- buting the state and local PR programs. Four to six days after the national announcement, the state com- mittee chairmen will hold press conferences identifying their portion of the "Canvass Kick-Off" campaign. Similar press conferences sub- sequently should be held on a local level. II. State and Local Participation A. Photographs of the coordinator of volunteers and/or volunteers with state or local chairmen - Prior to Sept. 16 if possible - for release to daily and weekly press. B.

The "Canvass Kick-Off" cities in your state will be the focal point of your effort to re-elect President Nixon. Your role is to coordinate and stimulate media coverage on each event in your area. Your personal understanding of the media outlets, contacts and issue focus at the local level will be the touch necessary to make the "Canvass Kick-Off" a success. Press conferences with local cele- brities, local feature stories and, in general, involving local press will result in good coverage and create interest in this campaign emphasis. Your degree of effort will make the difference. Attached you will find a public relations package on the "Canvass Kick-Off.' These resource documents give the complete overview of our number one campaign priority -- the "Canvass Kick-Off" on September 16. Your local communication plan should be looked at in three increments. First should be pre-September 16th coverage of local personalities in a volunteer setting; second, on the September 16 "Canvass Kick-Off" Day, full press coverage of the major celebrity working in your city including his headquarters appearance and his actual canvassing in neighborhoods; and third, the September 16th followup. Keep the ball rolling with press conferences reporting on the progress of the campaign, on activities of celebrities and surrogates, on rallies and on the volunteer registration effort. I urge you to give the "Canvass Kick-Off" the highest priority. Victory in '72, Al Abrahama Albert E. Abrahams Director of Communications Committee for the Re-election of the President 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 (202) 333-0920 MEMORANDUM MEMORANDUM FOR: NIXON STATE CHAIRMEN/EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS FROM: CLARK MacGREGOR SUBJECT: "Canvass Kick-Off" In our effort to re-elect the President, one of our major jobs is to conduct a "people-to-people" campaign at the precinct level. In the precincts, on November 7, the people of this country will decide who will be President of the United States for the next four years. Our goal is to get those people favoring President Nixon identified, registered, and of course to the polls. The most effective method of accomplishing these goals is the utili- zation of volunteers canvassing door-to-door in every precinct. In addition to performing these three functions, the presence of door- to-door volunteers is an inspiring sales force persuading voters to cast their ballots for the President. On September 16, a national canvass by persons of all ages and from every walk of life will start in 49 cities. This canvass is the most critical and important single project of the entire campaign. To help make the "Canvass Kick-Off" a success the attached package has been sent to your press director for action. I encourage you to ensure its implementation and make any additional effort to further enhance this program. While continuing to stress the issues of this campaign, I ask you to use every forum available to further publicize the "Canvass Kick-Off." to new Committee for the Re-election of the President 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 (202) 333-0920 September 7, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: SEPTEMBER 16 CANVASS KICKOFF LEADERSHIP FROM: FREDERIC V.

SHEET The Committee To Re-elect President Nixon and the Republican National Committee join in a national door-to-door canvass by per- sons of all ages and from every walk of life which will be kicked- off in 49 cities on September 16, 1972 Celebrities and surrogates will join with other volunteers at Storefront Headquarters of the Committee for the Re-election of President Nixon in this national program. Included will be the First Lady in New York City, the President's daughters, Julie Eisenhower in Philadelphia, and Tricia Cox in Columbus Ohio, as well as Senators, Governors and Administration officials such as Secretary Richardson and Special Counsel to the President, Harry Dent. Large numbers of volunteers will be at the Storefront Headquarters to participate in the door-to-door canvass in each city. These volunteers will include local youths who are not necessarily eligible to vote, older Americans, heritage groups, businessmen, citizen groups, and those involved in community servies. Telephone centers, "loan-a-phone" and host/hostess telephone operations also will be an integral part of this campaign. Special effort by the more than 250,000 Young Voters for the President taking part in this canvass will be made to get other young people voting for the first time to register and vote for the President. The goal is to identify locally every voter supporting the President, regardless of political affiliation, register him and get him to the polls on Election Day. 2 The canvass people-to-people operation in each city will continue daily through local headquarters up to Election Day. 2 "CANVASS KICK-OFF" - 49 CITIES CALIFORNIA MICHIGAN OKLAHOMA Los Angeles Detroit Oklahoma City Sacramento Lansing San Francisco PENNSYLVANIA San Diego MINNESOTA Philadelphia Minneapolis Pittsburgh CONNECTICUT Hartford MISSOURI 1 SOUTH DAKOTA St. Louis Sioux Falls FLORIDA Kansas City Miami TENNESSEE MONTANA Nashville GEORGIA Billings Atlanta TEXAS NEVADA Dallas IDAHO Reno Houston Boise Austin NEW JERSEY El Paso ILLINOIS Trenton Chicago Hackensack UTAH Rock Island (Bergen County) Salt Lake City (Moline) NEW MEXICO VIRGINIA INDIANA Albuquerque Richmond Indianapolis NEW YORK WASHINGTON IOWA New York Seattle Cedar Rapids Buffalo Albany WISCONSIN KANSAS Milwaukee Wichita NORTH CAROLINA Greensboro KENTUCKY Louisville NORTH DAKOTA Bismarck MARYLAND Rockville OHIO Towson Cleveland (Baltimore County) Cincinnati Columbus MASSACHUSETTS Dayton Boston BACKGROUND PAPER There are 3,141 counties in the United States, and about 166,000 precincts. The election will be won in these counties and precincts and help on the local level everywhere is needed. Hard work and tight organization pay large dividends in U.S. politics. Therefore, we must be sure that the President's cam- paign is better organized and harder-working than that of the opposition. We will run a positive campaign and re-elect the greatest President in history. We will tell the voters about: (1) the President's outstanding achievements; (2) the threat which extreme defense and welfare policies which the opposition candidate poses to the stability of the United States and the world situation. Be sure the voters are aware of the President's great record and that they understand what the opposition stands for -- get the facts straight and the voters out. Local headquarters should have useful material on the issues. Identify the pro-Nixon voters --- register them and get them to the polls on Election Day. In order to achieve this, volunteers everywhere must become involved in canvassing and registering voters. Regardless of the number of speeches, eye-catching ads, spectacular campaign materials, the voter alone has the last word. And this word depends on the first word delivered by the door-to-door volunteer, working for the re-election of the President. What better way of learning who is for the President? We must get out and become inolved for the President who needs each of us -- NOW, MORE THAN EVER. TALKING PAPER Getting out the vote on November 7 will be the number one priority in the campaign to re-elect President Nixon in 1972. A kick-off in 49 cities through the organization of RNC and CRPN will be held by state Committees beginning on September 16, 1972. In order to accomplish this, all-out efforts on the local level, through volunteers, are required. Volunteers will take part in door-to-door canvassing of voters in their districts. This voter identification effort will be followed by voter registration and voter turnout on Election Day. These volunteers will identify all voters favorable to the President, will attempt to register all unregistered favorable voters, and will arrange to get these voters to the polls on November 7. A volunteer chairman will be designated to direct recruitment of canvass personnel in his area, and another person will be placed in charge of registration, voter: identification and voter turnout. The latter individual will be responsible for training the volunteers for canvassing activities. Door-to-door volunteers will be instructed in canvassing tech- niques. They will not become involved in long discussions with the prospective voters; they will say so if they are unable to reply to queries, and provide a brochure outlining the President's record. The area headquarters will be the operating center for all priority precincts. Volunteers will obtain canvassing material from these headquarters, which will be staffed full time, and will be given a set time to return to the headquarters with their materials. TALKING PAPER - 2 Volunteers will meet in a group before and after canvassing, and precinct captains will be used in highly organized areas (though the state Committees will retain strict accountability) Although door-to-door canvassing is the preferred medium, telephone centers, "loan-a-phone" and host/hostess telephone operations will be an integral part of the campaign. Particular emphasis should be placed on the help of older Americans on the phone and in support capacities. Arrange transportation for these persons to places of registration as well as out to vote on Election Day. The Committee to Re-elect President Nixon and RNC will coordinate these efforts. Its regional staffs will supply volunteer canvass kits and other materials in addition to managing the scheduling of events on the community and state levels. SPEECH INSERT -- Identify, Register, and Vote the President's Supporters This year, for the first time in 16 years, a Republican President is running for re-election. This year, instead of explaining how we could do a better job, our task is to take the President's record to the people and tell what a fine job he has done already. Considering the outstanding record of achievement which the President has built over the last three and onerhalf years, considering the very high standing with the American people which the President is maintaining in the polls and considering the known advantages of incumbency - all these things may tempt us to regard the President as a shoo-in. Such a temptation, I believe, could be detrimental to our hopes for a second term for our President. Looking at the history of incumbent Presidents seeking re-election in the Twentieth Century, only two have been defeated for re-election. That is a comforting statistic. But another view is that two incumbent Presidents in fact have been defeated. I would prefer that we keep that second statistic in mind, even if the conditions which led those two men to defeat are not present this year. Defeat is possible. It is not probable; but neither is it unthinkable. Therefore, I urge that you do think about it. And then act to prevent it. Specifically, we must identify every Nixon supporter we can find. We must registe that supporter if he is not already registered and we must get him to the polls on Election Day. We must always think of the alternative! On September 16 we will have our "Canvass Kick-Off" in some 49 cities throughout the country. This will be just the first of our daily efforts from then until election day to guarantee a maximum response from a door-to-door, people-to-people effort to assure the President's re-election. SPEECH INSERT - 2 In 1968, I would remind you, Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States by approximately two votes per precinct. In 1962, Senator McGovern defeated a Republican incumbent to win election to the U.S. Senate by 597 votes. Those are good statistics for all of us to keep in mind this year as we go about the business of re-electing a great President. The future of our country for the next four years -- and perhaps for the next generation -- will be determined by the things that each of us does between the "Canvass Kick-Off" on September 16 and on Election Day, November 7. There is a lot of hard work to be done between now and then. But, when the votes have been counted and Richard Nixon has been re-elected, believe me, it will all have been worthwhile. SAMPLE RELEASE - SURROGATES AND CELEBRITIES (NAME OF TOWN WHERE THEY LIVE) (DATE) -- (Name and title) announced today that (he/she) will be actively involved in the "Canvass Kick-Off" which starts September 16th.

"I feel that direct participation by me and by other American citizens in the election process is a responsibility and an obligation," (Name) said. "President Nixon believes very strongly that his campaign, as well as the governmental process, becomes more meaningful with involvement by local citizens.

The canvass, designed to identify voters who support the re-election of the President or who are still undecided, will be coordinated at local Storefront headquarters and volunteers wishing to participate should contact the Nixon Storefront at (local organization fill in here).

And any person who is qualified to vote, but who does not register to vote, can be little more than a sidewalk super- intendent standing apart from the vital project of building national progress in the challenging era of the 1970s. In recent years, Federal and State governments have taken historic actions to extend the voting privilege to more and more of our citizens, including those between 18 and 21 years of age. All of these efforts to broaden the base of the American constituency -- in order to insure continuing national political vitality and accurate representation -- will have been in vain, however, if the newly eligible voters do not activate their newly won voting rights by registering according to the laws of the States. There is no place for apathy in an America facing the momentous challenges and opportunities of the era of the 1970s. The Nation needs the talents and the energies of each and every citizen, and it needs all their votes on election day. I am convinced that nationwide, non-partisan voter registra- tion campaigns could substantially reduce the number of qualified citizens who will be barred from voting in the forthcoming general elections by reason of failure to comply with election registration laws. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September, 1972, as National Voter Registration Month, and I urge the Governors, and election officials of the several States, together with other officials, candidates for public office, and political parties and organizations, to institute non-partisan campaigns designed to achieve the registration of as many qualified citizens as possible prior to the forthcoming elections. I also urge all interested citizens and all civil and educational organizations to participate in voter registration campaigns and to take all appropriate steps to assure maximum registration of qualified voters. Finally, I urge our newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, our television and radio stations and networks, and all other news media to publicize and promote voter registration drives and the importance of voter registration. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

The first by Henry Cashen lists the largest and most important groups that will probably support the President on the issues mentioned (attached at Tab A). Notations indicate Cashen's assessment of the issue that the group would support.

The groups on the list will either support the President generally or on specific issues of interest to them (attached at Tab B). Fred Malek does not currently have a list of committees that fit in any of these categories. However, as the various citizens committees -- e.g. Defense Workers for the President, Economists for the President, etc. -- are firmed, they will be listed in this support group.

We also need assignments for Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois - in the later case someone who is not too close to Ogelvee.
