August 31, 1972
Dear Supporter:
Prior to the 1972 Republican National Convention, Black Delegates
were polled to determine their position and concerns on the major
national issues. The end result of the polling, coupled with
two Black Caucuses at Miami, is the First Draft Policy of Parity
position paper attached. The paper does not pretend to be a
complete and comprehensive statement of Black Delegates. It
does set the stage for a forthcoming document which will serve
to state the case of Black Delegates and reflect a. significant
voice in the Black Community.
You are urged to read thoroughly the Policy of Parity (first draft).
Most important, we need you to react by sending specific action steps
under each issue discussed in the paper. We will then take these
into account toward completing the final draft.
Most important, the Policy of Parity should be used by you as a
forum for Campaign activity ie., release to the press, speech
material, etc.
Your diligence toward continual efforts to re-elect the President
is consonant to reflecting the needs of the Black Community. We
believe the Policy of Parity will aid you in this effort.
PAUL R. JONES
Executive Director
Black Vote Division
POLICY OF PARITY
Instead of the normal concept of reward for your vote which leads
people into discussion of what percentage voted for, as opposed
to why that percentage voted for, we, the Blacks assembled here
at the 1972 Republican National Convention, believe it essential
to think through a different strategy which will assist in making
the polital system a reality for minorities. We believe this
can be accomplished. Realities can be attained through the
implementation of specific policies aimed at creating parity be-
tween the minority populations and the majority population. This
concept of parity essentially means that there should be a proportionate
relationship between the minority community and the majority community.
This is not to be construed as a request for a segregated or dual
system but to avoid the unequal patterns of opportunities the in-
equities of the past placed upon minority groups. It also recognizes
the fact that without the development of specific institutions such
as the Land Grant Colleges, Research Institutions, special Associations,
and other support mechanisms, the current positive gains would not
have attained their present level. We further recognize that the
blood, sweat, tears and skills of the minorities in this country
also played a vital role in this development. We believe that it is
long past the time when the benefits of these previous efforts should
be received. Our position is that the types of policies required
to support this concept of parity will not only require specific
set-asides, but that benefits must be tied to the overall economic
growth of minority communities. The set-aside policies that we
envision should be designed and implemented in such a manner as to
solve the very real problems of:
1. Lowering stubborn barriers to employment for minorities;
2. Making minority work force less vunerable to cycles of
fluctuations in the economy;
3. Broadening educational opportunities in areas where the
minorities live;
4. Lack of participation of minorities in the international
communities;
5. The flow of drugs into the minority community;
6. Inadequate health and mental health care;
7. The development of a more effectively diversified minority
business community whose goods and services can compete
nationally and internationally.
8. Disproportionate number of minorities incarcerated in the
first instance and recidivism in the second;
9. Reversing the trend of the deterioration in areas in which
minorities are concentrated;
10. Absentee ownership of land and structures as presently exists
in predominately minority communities;
11. Caring for and providing opportunities for the aged;
12. Participation by historically prodominately minority higher
educational institutions.
Negative factors point up the dire need for the development of the
Policy of Parity. We firmly believe this Policy of Parity provides
the focus for many of the emerging efforts that have been initiated
by this Administration. Evidence of the readiness of this Administra-
tion to pursue such an essential policy. can be seen in:
1. The iniation and expansion of the Philadelphia-type plan for
minority hiring;
2. Effective delivery of manpower development programs;
3. The enabling of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
to more effectively enforce minority employment
opportunities;
4. An increase of minority women in Federal employment at a time
of general decline of Federal employment;
5. The proposal to replace the present demeaning welfare system
with provisions for training, child care, work incentives and
improved payment standards to help in the transition of the
welfare recipients from a life of dependency to meaningful
employment.
6. Its two and one half billion dollar budget for quality education
for the disadvantaged; increasing the funds available to the
predominately minority institutions of higher education; broading
of the emergency school aid programs where court desegration
decisions have been rendered.
Page 4
7. The number of minority ambassadorial appointments;
8. Establishing the Office of Drug Abuse and the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration program with emphasis on community
involvement;
9. Development of the first major attack on sickle cell anemia;
funding Health Maintenance Organizations;
10. Establishment of a contract set-aside program for minorities;
creating a multi-million dollar minority bank deposit program;
establishing the Office of Minority Business Enterprise
within the Department of Commerce to provide grants to minority
business and trade associations; increasing procurement from
minority firms; accelerating Small Business Administration loans
to minority entrepreneurs;
11. A streemlining of the Federal court system;
12. The appointing of more Blacks to the rank of general; the
appointment of the first Black as admiral in the history of the
U.S. Navy; the appointment of the first Black to the Court of
Military Appeals; the appointment of the first Black ever to
serve on the Federal Communication Commission;
13. An increased opportunity for minority sponsorship of housing
for low and moderate income groups.
The foregoing, while not representing the total accomplishments of
the Administration, does indicate a trend that must be pursued and
accelerated over the next four years. It is our belief that these
efforts focused over a Policy of Parity will provide the effectiveness
Page 5
of commitment needed to solve problems that affect the minority
community.
We contend that the acceptance of this concept of Policy of Parity
by this nation, lead by the present Administration, deserves immediate
adoption.
Achievements of the Administration symbolizes a positive step in the
direction of a Policy of Parity. For these programs to remain
meaningful and for added momentum to continue, we strongly urge
that executive, legislative, and judicial processes be brought to
bear to promote a quality standard of living among minority citizens.
Benefits to the entire society should accrue to those who have and
those who have not. To bring this about we recommend the following:
I. HOUSING
Minorities are found increasingly crowded into major metropolises
of this country. In this connection, we support the growing
interest and activity in small town and rural development. We
see a realistic area of growth and improvements for thousands
of minorities who prefer to avoid congested city living. The
rewards of better living and earning. opportunities for small town
dwellers should become a priority sponsored interest of the
Administration to stem rural emmigration and to lessen urban
density.
2. LABOR
Minorities continue to experience constant fear of insecurity
and deprivation caused by fluctuations in the economy. With
an ever increasing dependence on technological development;
we recognize the economy is fast moving toward professional: and
nonprofessional service-oriented labor opportunities. In this
connection we propose that the Administration, in providing
leadership towards training and development projects, institute
programs compatible with this trend. Here we subscribe to
dignity for minorities for Americans--acquired by personal
and intra development within their own communities.
3. MINORITY ENTERPRISE
Under the present Administration the free enterprise system
has been defined and augmented in terms that minorities now
understand. The progress realized to date should continue beyond
its present limited levels.
4. HEALTH CARE
At best, life on this planet is short. The ravages of poor
nutrition, poor housing, inadequate prenatal care, tend to
afflict minorities disproportionately more than other segments
of this society. Health care programs which emphasize a cure
approach diminish the importance of preventative medical practices
in the minority community. We applaud the Administration's
initiative in directing resources toward discovering the causes
of sickle cell anemia. In this connection, we support other
Page 7
necessary and complementary projects such as cancer research.
Parity in medical care for minorities means a reduction in the
diseases and afflictions which primarily affect minorities.
5. DRUCS
Hind altering drugs have been unfortunately 3 diet of minorities
long before drug abuse became a national issue. What is important
to us is that the present Administration has been sensitive to
this issue and strongly emphasizes increased budgetary support
for drug abuse prevention and treatment programs, resulting in
the establishment of the Office of Drug. Abuse Law Enforcement.
Wasted minority minds, afflicted by drugs, are no less important
than the destruction of the minds of any other group. It is
important to recognize that the majority of the minority community
abhors the delusion of drugs as an escape from reality. We believe
the total curtailment of supply sources should become an integral
part of foreign policy negotiations. We are opposed to legaliz-
ing drug use. We must save the minds of our youth.
6. EDUCATION
Minorities claim no allegiance to the notion that quality educa-
tion is derived only in the presence of the majority community.
Parity education requires an awareness that residing within the
minority community is a faith in the capacity of our own children
to learn and our own teachers to teach. We call for massive
infusion of additional resources to enable a full range of educa-
tional parity.
Page 8
7. WELFARE
Like our national concern for ecology in the salvaging of our
air, land, and water, WC need an equal compassion for too
many people who because of exploitation, economic error, and an
environmental emptiness stand dependent upon the less afflicted.
We must deal with the realities of historical precedence which
caused a need for welfare in the first instance and incurable
lingering affliction of people in the second instance. This
is no excuse for not pursuing a method of parity support for
those in need a living income for the aged, the infirmed, and
the temporary dependent.
8. FOREIGN POLICY
Emerging nations, particularly those of Africa and South America,
hold the measure of future world peace in the balance. Their
need for economic development is obvious. We necessarily must
share the resources of our abundant expertise to effect growth,
without cultural tampering and exploitation, lead by a cadre
of Blacks and Spanish speaking talent. This we perceive is
an important ingredient for a generation of peace.
9. DAY CARE
The growth and development of minority children is tied intrinsically
to early childhood development. What attention children receive
before school age has a crucial relationship to how well they
Page y
learn, live, and adapt to the real world. We call for the early
institution of: a network of support services of day care emphasiz-
ing educational, nutritional and personal attention.

letter
can be tax-deductible
Under the new tax law, taxpayers may take a tax deduction for donations to a
political committee. You may give as much as you wish, but for each individual
taxpayer the first $50 is deductible - or $100 for each married couple filing a
joint return.
Alternatively, you may use the tax credit method. Each taxpayer who gives $25
in 1972 may deduct half that amount directly from the tax bill. This means that a
$25 donation really costs you only $12.50. Married couples filing jointly can give
$50 at a net cost of only $25.
Your cancelled check will provide your proof of payment for tax purposes.

George McGovern
1910 K STREET, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006
Dear Friend:
At Miami Beach in early July, the most open Democratic
National Convention in history brought us to the threshold
of a new era in American life and government.
Now, if you and thousands of others like you will give
me your heart and your hand, we can step across the
threshold together.
We can move forward to restore the reverence for life
and concern for each other that have been the true source
of America's greatness.
Our "people's campaign" for the Democratic president-
ial nomination was considered a hopeless cause when we
began.
But hundreds of thousands of you rallied to the cause
of rededication to the American dream.
You worked and you gave to an unprecedented degree.
You helped me prevail against overwhelming odds.
Now we face the even greater challenge of defeating
Richard Nixon and everything he stands for.
Once again, the voices of defeat and skepticism are
saying that we can't win, just as they did when the pri-
maries began. Once again they are sadly mistaken.
We shall win because we must win.
Something is wrong with our beloved country, and it
must be set right.
In having stubbornly pursued an unpopular, unjustified
war in Vietnam for nearly ten years, we have wasted our
strength, hardened our hearts, disillusioned our youth, and
neglected our needs.
Our vitality and confidence as a great people are under-
going the most serious threat since the Great Depression of
40 years ago.
- 2 -
In June of last year, a national survey on the hopes
and fears of the American people showed that 47% thought it
likely there would be "a real breakdown in this country."
"Traditional optimism about the nation's steady pro-
gress has faltered,' the authors of the survey concluded.
"The average American feels that the United States has slid
backwards in the past five years."
President Nixon made the fatal mistake back in 1969 of
deciding to try to cure inflation with the traditional Re-
publican medicine of unemployment. It was called "cooling
off the economy." The result has been both heavy unemploy-
ment and continued inflation.
Even though we are supposed to be the richest country
in the world, 6 percent of those in the labor market can't
find work. Vietnam veterans and Ph.D. physicists are
tramping the streets with dispossessed farmers and Black
youngsters looking for jobs. In predominantly Black cities
like Newark, the unemployment rate ranges as high as 30%.
Nearly 14 million of our people are clinging to life
on welfare benefits below the poverty level.
Dope addiction and street crime are spreading like
creeping rot -- and the Nixon Administration is simply
not living up to its promises to deal with them.
Our personal freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights
are being undermined by government wiretapping, intimida-
tion of television and newspaper journalists, F.B.I. spying
at legitimate political gatherings.
Our inner cities are dying. Entire neighborhoods,
devastated by riots of neglected people and abandoned by
absentee landlords, look almost like city blocks bombed
and burned out by war.
Our streams and lakes are being choked to death by
industrial waste and raw sewage. Even the life-giving air
we breathe is threatened by the pollutants from belching
smokestacks and automobile exhaust pipes.
We have the technological skills to end pollution.
But it will be enormously costly -- and we are told that
our country simply can't afford it. It has been estimated
that cleaning up our waters alone could cost $316 billion
by 1985.
- 3 -
But there is never any question about our being able
to afford more nuclear war gadgetry. The Pentagon generals
are not satisfied with our military capability to destroy
every Russian and Chinese target 10 times over by several
thousand nuclear warheads and 3 separate delivery systems.
They want up to $47 billion more for a fleet of new B-1
bombers, up to $11 billion more for a space shuttle, up
to $100 billion more for a new fleet of ULMS nuclear sub-
marines.
And, in the words of the popular song of the 1930's,
"the rich get richer, the poor get poorer." Through oil
depletion allowances and other tax loopholes for the
favored few, many wealthy individuals and corporations
pay no taxes at all each year.
But the middle and lower income groups suffer pro-
gressive income taxation in reverse. Through sales taxes,
school taxes, and other crushing burdens, they are forced
to pay more than their fair share of the cost of govern-
ment.
We can't go on this way. The people's confidence in
their government and themselves is at stake.
There is a deep national craving for new leadership,
free from the mistakes of the past, free to lead us out of
the quicksand of Vietnam, the despair of the cities, the
despoiling and decay of the countryside.
We need leadership, too, that will tell the truth and
restore trust in government. The Credibility Gap in Wash-
ington has become a chasm.
I want to provide that leadership in the White House.
And with your help, I am confident I can win the right to
do SO.
My surprise victories in the presidential primaries
were made financially possible by a great outpouring of
mostly small donations from more than 150,000 contributors.
Now we want to finance our election campaign the same way.
In my acceptance speech at the Miami Convention, I
said:
"Let the opposition collect their $10 million
in secret money from the privileged few. Let
- 4 -
us find one million ordinary Americans who
will contribute an average of $25 each to this
campaign -- a million-member club with members
who will not expect special favors for them-
selves but a better land for us all."
To achieve this, we have established the McGovern
Million-Member Club. Our goal is one million concerned
citizens who will give to make possible a victory over
Richard Nixon in November.
It doesn't matter whether you can give only $5 or can
afford $1,000. The important thing is that all those
reached by our appeals - Democrats, Independents, and dis-
appointed Republicans - respond appropriately according to
their means and the depth of their concern.
By thus backing a campaign which belongs to the people,
you can elect a President who will be responsible to the
people and not to vested interests.
Won't you join us in this great endeavor? This 1972
campaign can be a watershed in American history, and this
is your opportunity to play a meaningful part in it.
Sincerely yours,
Seorge Sovern
George McGovern
P.S. After President Jackson was elected as a "people's
candidate" in 1828, he threw open the doors of the White
House on Inauguration Day and let the people come in.
Inspired by his example, I wish it were possible to
invite everyone who gives to my campaign to come to a
People's Dinner Party at the White House after my inaug-
uration next January.
Obviously, inviting a million people would be im-
possible. But we will have a People's Dinner Party any-
way, and the invitation list will be made up by selecting
250 names at random from our total list of contributors.
I hope you will be one of them.

Senator McGovern's failure to show up for the Senate vote on the
historic revenue sharing legislation underscores the Senator's
lack of concern with the crisis of the American city. Throughout
his career, this lack of concern or perhaps lack of understanding --
of the problems confronting the great cities of this nation has
been self-evident.
(more)
2222
It has been ten years since Mr. McGovern sponsored a single
piece or major legislation aimed at the problems of cities. And
his campaign to date -- though he has been running for almost
two years --- has not produced a single, positive program aimed at
solving the urban financial crisis.
Senator McGovern had a chance to come home to the United
States Senate and vote on a positive proposal this week. He
couldn't make it.
His failure to appear --- for the revenue sharing vote -- is
added confirmation that Mr. McGovern is unconcerned with, or
ignorant of, the plight of the cities of this country.
Perhaps Mr. McGovern's ignorance of, and lack of concern
with, city problems stems from the fact that in his last election
he received only 158,961 votes, which is not enough votes to get
someone elected Mayor in most large cities of America. But his
years in the House and Senate should have given him the perspective
on urban problems which he so manifestly lacks today.
His white paper on urban problems, released a week ago, bore
the now familiar trademarks of most McGovern white papers: carping
criticism of the present Administration, sloppy staff work, and
simplistic solutions. One could read and re-read Mr. McGovern's
urban paper without finding a trace of genuine appreciation of
the problems faced daily by mayors and city councilmen across
America.
(more)
3333
Touring Detroit on Tuesday with Mr. Shriver's brother-in-law,
Mr. McGovern had planned to have a number of mayors join him in
a press conference. The intent was to have the mayors stand
beside Mr. McGovern and praise his proposals. However, the majority
of mayors so asked turned Mr. McGovern down flat. The press con-
ference was cancelled; and a secret meeting between Mr. McGovern
and his "urban. advisers" held to come up with new urban proposals
that might fly better with the press and public.
Ten years after Mr. McGovern came to the Senate, two years
after he began his pursuit of the Presidency, it has suddenly
dawned upon him that America is an urban nation. His arrival in
the Twentieth Century, though somewhat belated, is a welcome
development.
But it is not of much assistance to urban America, which needs
help now. What urban America needs is the President's proposal
for revenue sharing; and it could have used Mr. McGovern's vote
of support, which it failed to get this week.
This is not the first time Mr. McGovern had something else
to do and was somewhere else when legislation vital to the
American cities was on the line. Earlier this year Senators
Baker and Humphrey -- a Republican and a Democrat -- sought the
support of a majority of the Senate for the House-passed revenue
sharing measure. Mr. McGovern was too busy to help.
And just as Mr. McGovern was not available to lend the cities
a hand, so an unprecedented number of American mayors are unwilling
to lend him a hand in defeating the one President who has done
more for the American city than any other.
Rather, Mr. McGovern's defeat in November will be a victory
over indifference and neglect, a victory for urban America.

The First Family, Mrs. Agnew, surrogates and other spokesmen
will be on the road September 16 to launch major campaign voter
identification, registration and get-out-the-vote efforts in 49
cities across the country.
Considerable canvass work, however, has been initiated in other
areas and some results are beginning to come in.
For example, in Mitchell, South Dakota, Senator McGovern's home
town, 183 Nixon campaign workers canvassed on the night of September 7,
with the following results:
Nixon Preference 1,161
McGovern Preference 411
Undecided

Of the President's supporters, 222 were unregistered prior

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
BOB MARIK
SUBJECT:
The Polls
Following up on today's decision relating to negative advertising,
I wanted to make the following observation. For a period of time
extending at least through the first week in September, the polls
have shown McGovern in a continuing decline. I have been unable
to develop a satisfactory explanation for why he did not level
off two or three weeks ago at a 20-25 point deficit. The point
is that for some reason, some combination of factors is continuing
to erode McGovern's position. If we do not understand what the
mechanism is, we are liable to inadvertently change something
which was working for US. For that reason, I would continue to
favor delaying the advertising campaign until McGovern's slide
has stopped and he has started to level off.
The situation is analogous to owning some shares of stock for
which the price continues to rise day by day for no predictable
reason. The smart speculator will stay with the advance until
it peaks out and then move in immediately to sell the stock and
secure the gains. In the same manner, we should continue to ride
the advance until the time comes to change our strategy in order
to firm up the gains which occur.
