FROM:
WILLIAM E. MOELLER
WEM
SUBJECT:
Notification of Official Surrogate Appearances
to Interested Political Entities and Elected
Officials
As you requested last week, the Advance Office has undertaken the
responsibility for making the captioned notifications. We have a
full-time, five day a week, volunteer who is currently making the
required notification by telephone. Any notification system utilized
must be geared to the abilities of the volunteer. In this instance,
Ed Cowling and I have determined that the telephone notification
system is somewhat cumbersome and confusing for the volunteer we
have. Since we have an extremely limited choice of volunteers who
would be willing to undertake the prerequisite task, we are going
to attempt to change from a verbal to a writen notification system
as soon as possible. For key-state appearances we will design and
utilize a pre-printed form memorandum which will 'list the individuals
receiving a copy of the notification. In addition we will have the
RNC pre-print address labels for these individuals. In excess of
80 percent of Official Surrogate appearances are in key-states. For
non key-state appearances we will use the telephone or the memorandum
notification procedure.
The people who will be contacted through the foregoing system will be:
1. GOP State Central Committee Chairman
2. Governor, if GOP
3. Congressmen, if GOP
4. U.S. Senator (s), if GOP
5. In some instances, Mayors or County Directors
We will have the Political Division review each mailing list to determine
the people who should be added or deleted. Obviously, there will be
certain Democrats who will be included, e.g., Mayor Rizzo.

Dear Chairman MacGregor:
Mrs. Anne Armstrong visited our headquarters September 16 for the Canvass Kick-off.
The blitz went extremely well, and we wish particularly to commend the advance man
for M.s. Armstrong, Mr. Tim Tyler of Niles, Michigan. As we understand it, this
was Mr. Tyler's first advance assignment, and he performed yeoman service. He is
C very intelligent young man, of fine appearance and the sensitivity to work well
with an existing organization. We here in Orange County are hopeful Mr. Tyler
can be returned to our area as an advance man again.
We would like to register the proper address for our Orange County, California
Headquarters with your office. It is, as shown on the letterhead and at the bottom
of this sheet:
18552 Mac Arthur Boulevard, #101
Irvine, California 92705
714-833-9050
Apparently one of our city headquarters (Newport Beach) is listed in Washington
as the Orange County Headquarters.
May : add a personal note and extend best wishes to you and Mrs. MacGregor.
We met last fail at the Iranian Embassy in celebration of the Shah's birthday. I
was the guest of Assistant Secretary of Commerce Robert A. Podesta. It was a
pleasure to meet you and Mrs. MacGregor at that time.
Our continuing support and efforts are with you for an overwhelming victory.
Sincerely,

Dear John:
It was indeed a real pleasure to spend some time with
you at the Indianapolis meeting last week. The people
you assigned to do the advance work on political meet-
ings of this kind have been universally helpful. This
is also true of Bob Genader, who handled the Indianapolis
meeting.
We continue to pick up warm reports as we get around the
country about progress of the campaign. I think it's
adding together great.
With every good wish, I am,

A brief but sincere note to express again
my deep appreciation for your invaluable
assistance in coordinating my recent visit
to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on behalf of
the Committee for the Re-election of the
President.
This trip, although arranged at the last
minute, was scheduled very well thanks to
you, and of course, those in the Committee
Headquarters whom you worked so well with.
Needless to say, you saved me valuable time
on a very tight schedule, allowing me to
accomplish that which might have otherwise
been impossible.
Many thanks for a superb job. I look forward
to working with you again.

Enclosed is a copy of the Herald story of
the 28th. The picture is terrible, regretfully, but
the 'story is nicely done. Also enclosed is the daily
"El Diario", the little blurb that is published daily
at the College just for your info. When the Pacific
Grove Tribune is out today I'll send that story as
soon as I can get a copy for you.
We have hashed and re-hashed the day's ac-
tivities for future reference. I personally feel that
the day was very productive. I think the honest ap-
proach that the ladies presented at least set some of
the students to thinking politically and, hopefully,
to searching for some honest answers and this was bene-
ficial, if only from that. standpoint.
The only area that might have been better
covered would be in more positive actions on the Viet-
nam question. Some of those students are so desperately
lacking in depth of approach to anything that we would
need a real expert on Vietnam to set them straight.
That's food for thought in line with Droge's visit
that could do it! We need someone who can call a spade
a spade and have the absolute facts to back him up to
penetrate that arena.
The luncheon was a beautiful final touch to
activities in Monterey. I'm sure everyone enjoyed it
and, hopefully, it was relaxing for the ladies before
they had to take on another assignment that evening.
Enclosed are copies of my thank-you notes to
those at the college who should receive them. Do you
normally follow through on this, too, or rely on the
local level to cover this? Dr. Leach is the Head of
the Political Science Department at the college and
arranged the whole affair, and Phil Nash, a personal
friend of Brooks' and mine, helped us in many ways and
was one of our escorts.
Mr. Jon Foust
October 5, 1972

The luncheon was originally scheduled to be co-hosted
by several ladies but I understand from Carol Keaton that it
didn't work out that way. She ended up with the job and it,
of course, was beautiful. She should be thanked from your
end, as well as from the ladies, or however you work it. Her
address is: Mrs. Darius Keaton, Box 695, Pebble Beach, Cal.,
93953.
I'm sorry to be so long in getting this to you, Jon,
but a few other emergencies have taken precedent over this.
We loved meeting you and having you here. Let us know the
next time you will be arriving and we'll roll out the red
carpet for You!

P. S. By the way, Tim Austin did a great job for us. He
came in quietly, got to the core of things, was delightful
personally and we can't sing his praises enough. It doesn't
always work out that way and it was a pleasure to get the
job done with cooperation like that.

Enclosed is a copy of the story from the Monterey
BLACK YOUTH CHAIRMAN:
CHARLES ROBINSON
Herald covering the visit of Mrs. Hitt, Mrs. Hodgson and
Mrs. Ehrlichman, as well as a copy of my letter to Jon
Foust re the visit.
I felt it was highly successful and the ladies
made a very favorable impression wherever they went.
Upon arrival we took them to the Monterey Herald (the
paper on the Monterey Peninsula) for an interview and
picture, then to a reception at the Royal Inn for in-
vited guests (mostly hard-working Republicans who needed
a shot in the arm at that stage), then to the Monterey
Peninsula College for a meeting with the faculty and
student body leaders and then an open forum confronta-
tion with the students. The ladies each spoke about ten
minutes, then opened it up for questions. There was just
enough stimulation to keep things sharp, with Mrs. Ehrlich-
man fielding most of the questions.
The only weak area in the whole day was the fact
that the bulk of the questions were, of course, about
Vietnam and the only way that question could be topped
would be to have a man like Dolf Droge come cut and just
call a spade a spade, with solid facts to back him up
and let it open up. I think this could be just short of
sensational. Many of the students these days are living
in some sort of vacuum, with blinders, and could use some
solid, straight talk. The reason I mention Mr. Droge
is that Brooks Firestone, of our staff here, has been
discussing this possibility with Jon Foust. Perhaps
you can give us a hand in this regard.
Another thing I wanted to mention was the dedi-
cation to a job of young Tim Austin of the 1701 staff.
He was the front-runner for the ladies and did an

excellent job. He walked in and got right to the core of things
and accomplished what he set out to do. On top of that, he was
personally delightful, so it was a pleasure to get the job done
with cooperation like that.
I am also enclosing a copy of a paper compiled by Walter
Brown, of Seaside, one of the founders of the New Republican Com-
mittee (see enclosed clipping). It looks pretty good to me (to
be honest, I haven't had the time to check out the dates, so hope
his timing is right) and if it were polished up a bit, it might
be used on a larger scale than just here in the Monterey County
area. It's yours for whatever you might want to do with it.
We have John Connally coming the 11th; Sam Jackson on the
14th (with Bob Keyes out of Governor Reagan's office); the possi-
bility of Rogers Morton's visit on the 25th; a proposed Romney
visit and a big old-fashioned 'soul food' barbeque (sounds like
fun) in our black area on the 21st. If we could just bring Droge
in to cover the young voters and their Vietnam questions, we
should have pretty well covered the territory.
We're thinking positively in every direction.
Sincerely,
Crosse

FROM:
JOHN R. WILSON
Thank you very much for the outstanding job you did in Houston,
in preparing for Jack Kemp S visit. I understand the kick-off on
Saturday was a definite success and am pleased to be able to say
that it would not have been anywhere near as exciting had you not
been there.
Since my visit to Houston was the first time I had been assigned
the work of this type, you assistance that went far beyond that
required of an advance man was greatly appreciated. As I mentioned
had you not been there, I would not have been. able to go up to
Boston and help in organizing the kick-off in that city. Again,
many thanks.
Kindest regards.

Dear Jon:
Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed working
with Tim Austin of your office.
Tim is a very capable young man and we felt that the job
was very well done. The sucess of Secretary Morton's visit is
much due to Tim's handling of the arrangements.

Dear Jon,
I had the pleasure of working with two of your volunteer
advance men for the September 16th kick-off and I want to commend
their performance.
Dick Thaler did a great job advancing Senator Scott in Minne-
apolis. Ne were working under a tight schedule and things went off
like clock work. Senator Scott received a great recention and press
coverage mainly due to Dick's efforts.
Roger Rainville nitched right in on the Bismarck, North
Dakota project. Although our surrogate was not confirmed until
September 14th, Roger did a great job advancing the project as well
as co-ordinating many of the last minute details.
My hat goes off to both of them and I look forward to working
with them again.
Sincerely,
Wonathan 7. Hit Holt

Dear Mr. Foust:
Our Special Canvass Day for the President cum formal
opening of Nixon County Headquarters was an enormous success,
as you may already have heard from Steve Christensen.
The canvass, headed by Congressman Rhodes and Congressman
Manuel Lujan, Jr., went so well that our already super-efficient
GOP county organization is considering using County Nixon's format
for intensive work in finishing up the countywide canvass!
In addition, the festivities attendant upon our formal
opening, after the canvass, turned into a reasonably mind-blowing
party. Typical comment: "The GOP image could use a lot more
parties like this!"
I want to thank you for sending Steve Christensen here to
advance for Congressman Rhodes. Steve was extremely helpful -
full of good ideas and workable suggestions and very tactful at
twisting arms (including mine). He left behind many friends in
Albuquerque.
I would also like to express my gratitude for the fine desk
work of Mr. Paul Christian. He dealt beautifully with several
potentially heavy situations and was generally indispensable.
Again I was very gratified at the success of the day, and hope
that the Committee in Washington was, as well.
Cordially Heater

AGRICULTURE
1. Our direct mail came off the presses, and we are in the process of
hand delivering it to the Farm Families chairmen in the 16 states where it
will be mailed: 79,000 to dairy farmers; 146,000 to feedgrain producers,
113,000 to beef producers; 55,000 to wheat producers; 50,000 to soybean
producers; 54,000 to fruit and vegetable growers; and 13,000 to cotton
producers - total of 510,000. In almost all cases, the farm families are
providing their own postage. This alone is a major financial contribution
to the campaign.
2. We are also in the process of mailing 5,000 posters which graphically
illustrate the rise in agricultural exports during the Nixon Administration.
3. We conferred during the week with some of the midwestern farm magazine
editore and farm newspaper editors in an effort to assess the impact of
McGovern's charges re the grain sale. The general conclusion is that McGovern
has neutralized what should have been a large plus for us. All agree that
USDA has just not handled the situation well.
4. Our letters to the editor program, beamed primarily at the weekly news-
papers, is well under way.

for use in the phone centers. We are also making the lists available to
the state coordinators. In order to assist the effort, we are calling state
chairmen and asking them to conduct a telephone blitz for the specific
purpose of obtaining volunteers to man these centers. We are asking Life
Underwriters, Multiple Line Insurance Committee, Automobile Dealers, Pharmacists
and Community Leaders to undertake this project in key cities where the need
is in our key states.
We are also involved in two new procedures to help stimulate the recruitment
of volunteers:
1. Telephone Blitz - This is a procedure whereby we are asking our National
Committees to ask our state citizen volunteers to take "Four hours for four
more years.
2. Personal petition - A mailing to go out this week to all people who have
volunteered with a petition-type form.
LAWYERS
1. Volunteers - Lawyers Telephone Campaign: The lawyers telephone campaigns
are continuing to be conducted and supervision of the volunteers is continuing.
The volunteers are referred directly into telephone operations and storefronts
within the states.
2. Volunteers - Law Students: We now have law student committees for the
President on 95 law school campuses. These committees have been asked to
develop petitions which identify volunteers and to forward copies of the
petitions identifying volunteers directly to the Nixon Committee in their
city. The original petitions are forwarded to Washington.
3. Law School Faculty Members: A letter to all members of the law faculty
committee has been developed and is being sent urging their active participation
and support.
4. Other Activities: The following programs previously described are
continuing: Local Spokesman Program; Media Activity; Convince-A-Client Program;
Endorsements and Special Divisions.

Dear Clark:
Thank you for your recent memo and the supply of flag
pino to present to aur campaign staff.
This is a splendid idea and my congratulations to you
for implementing the plan. It is one of the seemingly small
things that mean so much to our people who are working long
hard hours for the re-election of the President here at the
local level. I have distributed the pins and have already
made arrangements to get more. They were received with
joyful enthusiasm and deep appreciation.
Speaking of ordering extra pine, may I take this
opportunity to tell you how pleased we are with the supply
and material operation you have established under Lewis Dale
and his staff. We have had excellent service and cooperation.
Everything section to be working perfectly. Campaign materialo
were one of our biggest headaches in 1968 50 we are especially
aware of and grateful for the marked contrast.
Warma personal regards and thank you for your leadership
and direction. Everything is going well here - I enclose a
copy of yesterday' S Iowa poll.
