HALDEMAN FROM: AL SNYDER Jeb Magruder and I have screened the video tape of John Connally's conference where the formation of the Democrats for the President was press announced. 1/26 The film of Connally's statement can be edited into a 5 minute package 0 and ABC News is willing to make the film available to the Committee for this purpose. There is some question as to whether a network would make a 5 minute prime time segment available but an unofficial sounding with network officials indicates that there is a chance that one of the major networks would buy it. The cost for a 5 minute commercial would be between $15 and $25,000 with a possible editing charge of another $3 to $5,000 so that the 5 minute spot could be made available. Estimated prime time audience during the summer would be in the range of 8 million households. The networks would need at least four days advance notice in order to make room for this tape in its regular program schedule. Therefore, a time slot beginning Wednesday of next week would be the earliest, feasible time we could shoot for. Jeb feels that the Connally statement by itself would not make an effective TV presentation and questions whether the project should be undertaken. On Wednesday of next week a full page ad will appear in over 60 newspapers in 14 major states announcing Democrats for Nixon. Both Jeb and the November Group feel that this is a more effective way of continuing the momentum of Democrats for Nixon. The Connally press conference could be put into a 5 minute radio spot which could be provided next week. The cost and audience would depend on the placement.

APPROVE DISAPPROVE COMMENTS Attachments: TAB A TAB B TAB C TAB D TAB E TAB F cc: Dr. Robert H. Marik FINAL DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON Approved By: Honorable John Connally GENERAL BROCHURE August 17, 1972 (FRONT PANEL) WHY WE DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPORTING PRESIDENT NIXON (QUOTE ON CENTER "Let us reject the narrow visions of those who PANEL) would tell us that we are evil because we are not yet perfect, that we are corrupt because we are not yet pure, that all the sweat and toil and sacrifice that have gone into the building of America were for naught because that building is not yet done. " Richard Nixon DEFENSE President Nixon believes in a strong America. He believes the best way to decrease the defense budget is through mutual disarmament. He has proved his point with the Russian SALT agreements. Senator McGovern favors the deep cuts that the President opposes, despite warnings from military experts that the U.S. would thereby be weakened around the world. DRUGS President Nixon has been both tough and flexible. He won the agreement of Turkey to place a total ban on the growing of opium poppy made an agreement with France to assist in halting the traffic of drugs and stepped up arrests of pushers. He is spending 600% more for drug education than ever before. Together, these actions are finally turning the tide against the drug scourge. VIETNAM The President has done everything in his. power to bring peace to Vietnam without sacrificing the South Vietnamese in the process. He has brought home 500,000 men ended ground combat for American forces and cut spending by two-thirds. Strong steps are continually being taken to get the enemy to cease its aggression and make peace. DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON GENERAL BROCHURE - 2 - STABILITY In 1968, there was mass rioting in cities and on campuses across America. Under President Nixon, riots have become a fraction of what they were. The President has spoken out strongly-for the need to respect the law and has effectively worked to solve many of the problems disturbing America. FOREIGN POLICY President Nixon, in the name of peace, went to Moscow where he negotiated agreements with the Soviet Union to limit development of missiles. He visited Peking to begin improving U.S./China relations. He called a halt to crisis diplomacy, seeking to reduce tension in such troubled areas as the Middle East. ENVIRONMENT President Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency, the first Federal unit ever set up to protect our quality of life. He has increased funding for environmental improvement by over 500%, and initiated a Legacy of Parks Program to bring increased recreational opportunities to cities. No less than 25 separate environment bills have been proposed by him. HEALTH CARE President Nixon has earmarked massive amounts of money to find a cure for cancer and sickle cell anemia. Federal outlays for health care and research in 1973 will reach $25.5 billion, and the President has proposed a National Health Insurance Standards Act, a Family Health Insurance Plan and the National Health Education Foundation, all aiming at better health care for everyone. DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON GENERAL BROCHURE - 3 - TAXES (TO BE UNDERLINED Under President Nixon, individuals are paying $22 billion IN RED) less in Federal taxes and corporations are paying $10 billion more. In addition, the President's proposed revenue sharing plan would return more money to the states, enabling them to lessen state taxes --- especially the propert, tax. This tax affects not only homeowners but, eventually, many tenants too, through increased rents. THE ECONOMY President Nixon has taken strong action to halt inflation and increase employment. He initiated a 90-day wage-price freeze, followed by more flexible controls, and introduced a package of tax cuts to stimulate the economy. The inflation rate has been cut in half, and the Gross National Product has expanded at a yearly rate of over 7%. Housing starts, a prime economic it icator, are up 42% over last year. CRIME The President's vigorous law-enforcement policies have cut the increase in the nation's serious crime rate from 10% two years ago to 1% in the first quarter of this year. Eighty (over half) of our major cities have reported actual decreases in crime, and Washington, D.C. has achieved a 30% decrease over last year. Making all this possible has been President Nixon's program of increased aid to states and localities. (TUCKED PANEL) GENERAL BROCHURE QUOTES "Everyone who earns between $8,000 and $20,000 would be socked in the proverbial jaw with the tax load from McGovern's ambitious programs. " Senator Hubert H. Humphrey "I am a little surprised that Senator McGovern has announced this (welfare and tax reform) as his program. I find myself with a great many questions about it. I don't know where we get that money that we would have to make up if it is to be a balanced program. Even if McGovern added $43 billion to his revenues through elimination of the Social Security payments, there still would be a 'very sizable deficit'. " Representative Wilbur Mills "Senator McGovern is proposing a 40 percent cut in our defense forces -- cutting the Navy in half, and the Air Force by more than half -- without any similar disarmament agreement from the Russians.

FINAL DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON Approved By: Honorable John Connally PERIPHERAL URBAN ETHNIC BROCHURE August 17, 1972 (FRONT PANEL) WHY WE DEMOCRATS ARE SUPPORTING PRESIDENT NIXON (QUOTE ON CENTER "Massive busing produces inferior education and PANEL) education's the name of the game. When you take kindergarten kids and put them on a bus for an hour and a half, when they ve got a school they could walk to five minutes away, now that's wrong." Richard Nixon BUSING The President has consistently taken a strong stand against the busing of school children for the purpose of achieving integration. A champion of neighborhood schools, the President believes that the real task is to give the local schools the necessary aid to provide the best possible education for all children. DEFENSE President Nixon believes in a strong America. He believes the best way to decrease the defense budget is through mutual disarmament. He has proved his point with the Russian SALT agreements. Senator McGovern favors the deep cuts that the President opposes, despite warnings from military experts that the U.S. would thereby be weakened around the world. DRUGS President Nixon has been both tough and flexible. He won the agreement of Turkey to place a total ban on the growing of opium poppy made an agreement with France to assist in halting the traffic of drugs and stepped up arrests of pushers. He is spending 600% more for education against drug use. Together, these actions are finally turning the tide against the drug scourge. DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON PERIPHERAL URBAN ETHNIC BROCHURE - 2 - WELFARE President Nixon has introduced the concept of "workfare" into his welfare program. This will not deny the truly needy of benefits, but it will mandate that the able- bodied work in some productive capacity. The President's goal is to reduce the welfare rolls and reverse the trend of thinking which maintains that those who are lazy have a right to live off America's hard-working taxpayers. TAXES (TO BE UNDERLINED Under President Nixon, Americans are paying $22 billion IN RED) less in Federal taxes and corporations are paying $10 billion more. In addition, the President's proposed revenue sharing plan would return mo ey to the states, enabling them to lessen state taxes -- especially the property tax. This tax affects not only homeowners but, eventually, many tenants too, through increased rents. EMPLOYMENT The number of employed Americans reached a record hight of 81.2 million in June of this year. President Nixon won an agreement with Japan to restrict its textile exports, thereby relieving pressure on American industry and signed into law the Emergency Employment Act providing more than 250,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate is declining, despite the return of 500,000 job-seeking men from Vietnam, the result of the President's successful withdrawal policy. FOREIGN POLICY President Nixon, in the name of peace, went to Moscow where he negotiated agreements with the Soviet Union to limit development of missiles. He visited Peking to begin improving U.S./China relations. He called a halt to crisis diplomacy, seeking to reduce tension in such troubled areas as the Middle East. DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON PERIPHERAL URBAN ETHNIC BROCHURE - 3 - THE ECONOMY President Nixon has taken strong action to halt inflation and increase employment. He initiated a 90-day wage-price freeze, followed by more flexible controls, and introduced a package of tax cuts, to stimulate the economy. The inflation rate has been cut in half, and the Gross National Product has expanded at a yearly rate of over 7%. Housing starts, a prime indicator, are up 42% over last year. VIETNAM The President has done everything in his power to bring peace to Vietnam without sacrificing the South Vietnamese in the process. He has brought home 500, 000 men the ground war is over for American forces and cut spending by two-thirds. Strong steps are continually being taken to get the enemy to cease its aggression and make peace. AMNESTY The President refuses to even consider amnesty for draft- dodgers until after the war in Vietnam is over and the Communists have returned all our prisoners of war. He would then be selective by separating those who have dodged the draft and stayed in America and those who actually deserted America by relocating to a foreign country.

The President's program also has an inflation-proof feature that allows benefits to go up whenever the cost of living goes up. Regarding the income situation for older Americans, the President has also asked Congress for an expansion of the retirement earnings test, and an increase in widows' benefits. HEALTH CARE President Nixon has earmarked massive amounts of money to find a cure for cancer. Federal outlays for health care and research in 1973 will reach $25.5 billion, and the President has proposed a National Health Insurance Standards Act, a Family Health Insurance Plan, and the National Health Education Foundation, all aiming at better health care for everyone. He has also requested the elimination of $5.80 monthly premium under Part B of Medicare. STABILITY In 1968, there was mass rioting in cities and on campuses across America. Under President Nixon, riots have become a fraction of what they were. The President has spoken out strongly for the need to respect the law, has effectively worked to solve many of the problems disturbing Americans.

His recent SALT agreements with Russia prove that point. Senator McGovern favors deep cuts that the President opposes, despite warnings from military experts that the U.S. would thereby be weakened around the world. NEW GOVERNMENT RESPONSIVENESS President Nixon has embarked on a comprehensive program within the government to insure coordination between all Federal and state agencies involved in the field of aging. This has included the formation of a fully staffed Cabinet Committee on Aging and the appointment of Arthur Fleming as a full-time consultant. CRIME The President's vigorous law-enforcement policies have cut the increase in the nation's serious crime-rate from 10% two years ago to 1% in the first quarter of this year. Eighty (over half) of our major cities have reported actual decreases in crime, and Washington, D.C. has achieved a 30% decrease over last year. Making all this possible has been President Nixon's program of increased aid to states and localities. THE ECONOMY President Nixon has taken strong action to halt inflation and increase employment. He initiated a 90-day wage-price freeze, followed by more flexible controls, and introduced a package of tax cuts to stimulate the economy.

HALDEMAN FROM: FRED MALEK SUBJECT: Lists of Presidential Supporters BACKGROUND The names of 785, 000 people who have indicated their personal support of the President have been collected by the following people in the White House: Kathy Balsdon (Chuck Colson's office, 360,000 names on computer tape): Anne Higgins (Correspondence Office, 300,000 names on index cards); and Roland Elliott (Correspondence office, 125,000 names on computer tape). A few months ago, the Committee for the Re-Election of the President requested that these names be made available for campaign purposes. You released these lists so that the necessary staff work could be performed, but requested that a plan for utilization of the names be submitted to you prior to their release from 1701. PURPOSE This memorandum presents the requested Utilization Plan and recommends its immediate approval so that the names can be released by Manday, August 21st. ALTERNATIVES Two alternative methods of utilizing the lists were evaluated. The first method involved using the names in a 1701 Direct Mail Campaign. The second alternative involved utilizing the names for state-oriented volunteer recruitment programs. Specifically, we evaluated the possibility of giving the names of supporters from the nine key states to Nancy Brataas to use in her Telephone Bank Program. The remaining names from the non-key states would be sent by the 1701 Regional Directors to the individual State Volunteer Recruitment Chairmen for dis- semination to the local field organizations. ANALYSIS, RECOMMENDATIONS In analyzing the Direct Mail approach, we concluded that this alternative was both expensive and ineffective, resulting in a cost per volunteer recruited of $8 to $12. We, therefore, eliminated this approach. The second alternative, - 2 - however, proved to be viable and I recommend it for two significant reasons. First, the real key to recruiting volunteers and placing them in the field lies in the proper management of the volunteer effort at the state and local levels. This alternative decentralizes the responsibility for utilizing the names to the states, permitting local management of the volunteer effort. Secondly, this approach utilizes Nancy Brataas' Telephone Bank Program in key states. In the primaries the Telephone Banks proved to be a very professional method of recruiting volunteers, resulting in a relatively low cost per volunteer enlisted. By using this proven, efficient program, we will be able to maxi- mize our impact in key states. FURTHER ACTION Roland Elliott, who is collating the three lists, reports that he will be ready to transfer most of the names to 1701 by this Friday. The remainder of the names will be transferred by the end of the month. Once the collated lists reach 1701, Bob Marik's effaff will review them for duplication and VIPs, making the appropriate deletions. Bob then will give the key state lists to Nancy Brataas and the remainder to the Regional Directors. We have decided not to reimburse the White House for expenses incurred in this effort because any payment made by 1701 would eventually become part of the White House public record. This conflicts with our desire not to divulge the source of the names. If you concur in the above recommendations and action steps, we will begin immediately to implement this plan.

HALDEMAN FROM: LARRY HIGBY SUBJECT: RN Letter to Organization of Democrats for Nixon A clean draft of the letter is attached. The President's notes to you were as follows: 1. This is a form for those joining Democrats for RN. 2. Check it with Colson and then separately with Connally for suggestions and approval. 3. Use first names and RN for those I know. 4. Use Richard Nixon for others. I checked with Chuck Colson on what the title of the committee was and it is simply "Democrats for Nixon". Therefore, the letter should say "as a member of the Democrats for Nixon" or "as a Vice Chairman of the Democrats for Nixon", since that is the capacity that all those who have been announced so far will serve in. Please indicate your preference as to which of the above should be used. SECOND DRAFT 8/12/72 Dear : This is just a note to tell you how deeply grateful I am that you have joined John Connally as a member of the National Organizing Committee of Democrats for Nixon. I realize that it must be a very difficult decision for a loyal member of one party to support the Presidential candidate of another. In this election year, however, it is my honest conviction that the programs I am advocating, particularly in the field of national security, are more truly representative of the great traditions of the Democratic Party than the policies that are being advocated by the Democratic nominee. I only hope that my conduct of the campaign and the policies I plan to carry forward over the next four years will justify the confidence you have expressed by giving me your support at this critical time. Not only in the campaign, but in the years ahead I look forward to working with you for what is best for America regardless of party.

Attach. no comment in content OR for form H Brocherlei to 4/14 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 8, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR : H.R. HALDEMAN FROM : L. HIGBY SUBJECT : Attack/Counterattack Operation Of the key components of our campaign strategy for the fall, probably the one that is suffering the most from neglect and lack of proper organization is the attack / counterattack opera- tion. This memo attempts to break down what the primary pro- blems are associated with it, take a look at the reasons those problems exist and propose some solutions. PROBLEMS: 1. No Central Point of Coordination - Currently there is no central point of coordination for the attack apparatus. John Ehrlichman is offering his briefing papers to surrogates and meeting with them on an individual basis. Colson and his group are doing the same, and even 1701 has their own writer who is responsible for attack material. 2. Truncated Attack Scheduling Apparatus - Scheduling takes place from two different locations. While this is a problem it can be handled if it is closely monitored. Of all the areas within this issue this one is probably more on track than any of the others. 3. Lack of Guidance - No one is really sure what our strategy is in terms of using our surrogates or getting our line out is to be. Colson has set it up SO that he no longer meets with the attack group but has Dick Howard as his deputy meet with them. In effect you have Dick Howard handling our attack line, supervised by Colson. The original reason Colson was allowed and put into meetings etc. was $0 he could follow-up with implemen- tation. Colson no longer sees himself as an implementator 2 but another one of the "great thinkers" and "grand strategists". As a consequence, the man who is supposed to be doing the implementating on attack/ counterattack (Colson) is no longer implementating. He, by his own admission, seems to have too many other things to do. 4. Working the Surrogates to Get Out the Line - Simply forwarding materials if we can ever get unified materials to forward to the surrogates will not be enough. These need to be followed up by personal phone calls. A care- ful look at what sort of situation they are going in to, good advance work, and other preparations to make sure that each appearance is maximized. 5. Lack of Writers - Currently both the Colson and the 1701 operation are long on administration but short on good writers to crank out our line in the form that will be picked up and used. We need to change this approach and get a good stable of writers who are available all the time with the facts and figures, programmed with Buchanan and his people, to produce materials. SOLUTIONS: Essentially, like with any other operation, there needs to be someone in charge. Ehrlichman is apparently pushing you for this position, but I would recommend that Colson is the person touse here and the person who should have been doing this all along. We need Colson's total involvement in implementation, including taking a serious look at the surrogate schedule, plus meeting with the attack/ counterattack group on a daily basis to make sure our line is getting out. Somebody needs to make it clear to Colson that this is his job - not Dick Howard's, and that he had better start doing it. The problem here obviously has some- thing to do with Colson's involvement with the Democrats for Nixon; hopefully this can be diminished as soon as Connally announces and Colson starts to pull out. 1. Need for Setting the Line - There is a need to set the line on a day-to-day basis. For the next 100 days we should stop considering it business as usual and assuming Colson or somebody is covering and get involved. I question the value of your 8:00 a.m. meeting. Instead. perhaps you, Ehrlichman and Colson should sit down each morning and review the News Summary quickly, using it as a basis for making sure all our charges are being hit on a daily basis. This would be followed up, as I am sure it is anyway. in the 8:15 a.m. meeting with a broader discussion of what the line should be, but at least our basic line would then be set. Colson should follow-up immediately after the 8:15 meeting by Colson meeting with the attack group comprised of the individuals here and at 1701. By doing the above you've built Ehrlichman's role of advising and consulting on the whole surrogate counter - attack line operation in while at the same time, removed him from administering it. Also, with relatively little time daily, you can maintain close touch with the opera- tion. You can continue the "Great Thoughts" meeting that takes place on Monday and Thursday up in John's office. but this brief meeting between you, John and Chuck each morning can be for specific operational purposes. You may argue that in effect you are investing Colson with the power to set our line. This really isn't true. In fact, the contrary is true. You've currently abdicated to him the power to totally set our line by default. In addition, you should tell John what you see his campaign role as being so that he can relax and quit meddling around in other areas. 2. Follow Up - Beside just setting the line we need to have it distributed in a coordinated format. This should be stressed in reorganization to make sure that we not only are getting our message out, but doing it in a way that will be used. Colson, Ehrlichman, and others should follow up personally to get people to use the material. 4 3. Writers - We need a group of writers assigned to counterattack. Price should select those people he is going to need for direct Presidential support and we should turn over the balance of the writers. possibly under Buchanan's direction, to handling writing for the surrogates. IMPLEMENTATION: This may be the most difficult part. First, we need to get Colson out of the Democrats for Nixon operation. Next you need to make it clear to him that he is to be in charge of counterattack and pull back on his other endeavor As you in- dicated, the most difficult part of this may be explaining it to the President. He's the one that get's Colson started - and once he is started there is no turning him off. Dropping the Connally assignment is the natural time for the break to take place here but you can start the 8:00 a.m. meeting now and begin forcing Colson to move back into counterattack.

NOVELLI SUBJECT: Current Status - Media Plan Current status of the media plan for the re-election advertising campaign is as follows: 1. Work sheets have been developed for the national media portion of the plan and also on a state-by-state basis for local media. a. Individual states were allocated media weight and dollars on the basis of the key state list. b. Mass media (TV, radio and print) were costed out and scheduled on a basis of media efficiency and also on reaching important voter segments. c. Supplementary media have been selected to direct additional coverage at such voter groups as Jews, Mexican Americans and ethnics. (These work sheets, although not assembled in a format for presen- tation, are attached for your information.) 2. Revisions in the plan and in copy development will now be made on the basis of the WAVE II research. These revisions and refinements will include: a. Re-allocation of media weight where necessary, depending on current trial heat strength and weaknesses in key states. b. Copy strategies and subjects of specific commercials and print ads will be re-examined in the light of the WAVE II attitudinal data. C. Commercials and print ads will be assigned on a market-by-market basis, based on research indications of the relative importance Mr. Gordon Strachan -2- July 21, 1972 of each major voting issue. 3. These revisions will be completed and the plan prepared for pre- sentation by August 11. Please call if you have questions, or if there is further information I can provide. CC: Peter H.
