MEMORANDUM
September 18, 1972
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MAC GREGOR
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT:
Campaign Strategy in the Light
of Third Wave Polling Results
The results of the third wave of polling indicate a firm base
of support for the President. Beyond that, they show a continued
erosion in the voters'. confidence of McGovern's ability to measure
up to the job of President. Based on the new data, several strategy
recommendations are presented below. All recommendations contemplate
no change in overall budget.
General Advertising: Because the President shows substantial
strength in all major states, it is recommended that a higher
proportion of the advertising budget be directed toward national
network exposure. An increase of $800,000 would raise the
national budget to its maximum level of $3,500,000 for the re-
mainder of the campaign. The previously planned level of activity
in local media markets should be maintained in California, New
York, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin. The $800,000 should be
made available by a proportional reduction in the local media
market activity in the following states: Illinois, Ohio, Texas,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut. In addition,
some local advertising would be beneficial in Minnesota, Massachusetts,
Washington, Oregon and West Virginia, where the President is running
well, but other elements of the campaign have not been well established.
Funds for these latter states would be made available by a slight
further reduction in the seven states mentioned earlier.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you approve the adjustments to the general advertising strategy
as outlined above.

Comment

- 2 -
Democrats for Nixon: The full program of Democrats for Nixon
media advertising is scheduled to start the week of September 25
in local media markets of the ten priority states. The first week
will be devoted to defense. Present plans contemplate activity every
other week, using the subjects of welfare and credibility in subse-
quent series. Because McGovern's continuing tailspin in the polls
is perceived to be due to the public's low image of him as a potential
President, we feel that the Democrats for Nixon advertising presents
the best vehicle for reinforcing that trend. Further, if McGovern is
beginning to have some success in the re-uniting of the factions of
the Democratic Party, Democratic criticism is the most effective counter-
measure. Therefore, it is proposed that the plan be amended to take
the advertising on to national television starting the week of September
25. Rather than alternate week exposure, it should be reinforced
every week for the final six weeks of the campaign. The sequence would
be defense, welfare, credibility, and then repeat that cycle again in
the final three weeks. After the week of September 25th, no newspaper
advertising would be recommended until the final two weeks of the
campaign, and then only in states which are thought to be close.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you approve the changes in the Democrats for Nixon media plan
as outlined above.
Approve
X
Disapprove
Comments
Surrogates: The schedule of surrogates appearances should be adjusted
in the same manner as the general. advertising strategy outlined in the
beginning of this memo. Appearances should be kept to the original
plan in the states of California, New York, Michigan, Missouri and
Wisconsin. They should be reduced in Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut. They should be increased somewhat
in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon and West Virginia.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you approve the changes in the Surrogate plan as outlined above.

Other Campaign Activities: The field-oriented campaign activities
such as deor-to-door canvassing, telephone canvassing and the re-
lated direct mail program, follow fairly long lead time schedules
and cannot be changed as readily in response to updated polling
results. A second mailing to selected target groups of Democratic
voters had been cancelled earlier as a result of the recent $500,000
reduction in the direct mail budget. In addition, some or all of
the currently planned "Get Out The Vote" telegram-letters for the
ten priority states can be cancelled as late as October 12. Other-
wise, it is our recommendation that these programs not be curtailed
in any way, but retain their top priority of contacting as many
voters as possible. Similarly, for the sake of effectiveness and
overall morale, other parts of the campaign organization should not
in any way let up on the implementation of their programs. It is
only in this manner that we can insure that we will not fall victim
to the same type of grass roots blitz that McGovern used so success-
fully on his opponents in the Democratic Primaries.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you concur with the policy of no curtailment at the present
time of the other campaign programs discussed above.

FROM:
DICK MOORE
SUBJECT:
E. Q. - Enthusiasm Quotient
M
H
On the first day of the campaign in 1968, the size of
the Chicago crowd gave us the benefit of the "crowd
issue" from that day forward. In the same way, I
think the Texas trip can give us command of the "enthus-
iasm issue".
At Laredo, Rio Grande and San Antonio, several of us
felt that there was indeed a new spontaneity and personal
fervor toward RN and the interesting fact is that the
media apparently noted the same thing. Even the Boston
Globe had a front page story and headline on this point,
and CBS Radio said "It's one thing to draw big crowds,
but another thing to turn them on".
All I am suggesting is that the Texas trip will make
the press responsive to the proposition that there is
a new E. Q. going for the President, and all of us
should make this point as often as we can.
Incidentally, the term E. Q. has been credited to Clark
MacGregor, which may be alright, but it was first coined
by RN in 1968 at a dinner for Citizens For Nixon in
Indianapolis.

of this particular pin signifies, more than anything, the bond we all
share in our endeavor to re-elect the President. Thus, in order to
gain wider distribution of this pin, our thought is to:
1. Issue pins to all 1701/1730 and November Group staff, (volunte

RE:
Delegates' Gifts
The memorandum prepared by Foust/Magruder outlining the program for
resolving the problem of delegates who did not receive gifts seems fine.
However, since you asked for my comments, I still reiterate that the
matter of gifts was mishandled since it was the clear understanding that
these were gifts for delegates, and no one else. The very fact that
staff from 1701 as well as the White House were wandering around Miami
wearing the special tie bars just reduced the exclusivity of that trinket in
the eyes of the delegates. The matter of shortages is secondary.

RE:
Delegates Gifts
As you know, we had specially prepared for the Delegates to the
Republican National Convention special gifts that were intended ex-
clusively for the Delegates. For the women we had bracelets with
the Presidential Seal and for the men new tie bars. Both of these
gifts were boxed in special metal cases with the printing "Delegate,
Republican National Convention, Miami Beach, Florida, 1972".
Since you were the liaison with 1701, I just want you to know that these
gifts were grossly misused. Because specific numbers of men and
women Delegates fluctuated, we had extras of each gift prepared and
sent down so that there would be sufficient quantities whichever way
the balance swung. Obviously this would result in a surplus.
The end result of this was that the staff people down there, particularly
a lot of the 1701 men, were wandering around with tie bars which were
the surplus items. This diluted the impact of the Delegates gifts since
they were obviously not as exclusive as people were originally told.
I am not insinuating in any way that this is your fault but am advising you
of how this particular function was handled by 1701, i.e., irresponsibly.

THROUGH:
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER Jon Joust
JON A. FOUST.
SUBJECT:
Presidential Delegate Gifts
1972 Republican National Convention
Miss Lucy Ferguson of the White House was requested to assist the Convention
Coordinators by selecting and ordering the Presidential delegate gifts.
With the quantities given her (756 female, 2280 male), she chose a pin and a
tie bar bearing the Presidential seal. When she was informed of the change
of quantity of female gifts to 1100, she had to choose another gift because
of the short time factor, and reorder. Both items were delivered by August 19,
Saturday, for the packaging process and the Sunday 'delivery procedure.
The female gifts were physically packaged by members of the Advance Opera-
tion, accurately counted, then delivered to the distribution point from
which Mr. Feinstein, a member of the Florida Host Committee, would make
delivery Sunday to all delegations. (The male delegate gifts were in the
appropriate "goodie bags", while the female gifts were delivered en masse
to be delivered internally.) Because of his lack of delivery facilities,
a White House advanceman, Mr. Ashton Hardy, provided Mr. Feinstein with one
truck and one assistant. Thirty-two (32) states received delivery Sunday
evening. It was Mr. Feinstein's job to deliver and obtain a signature on a
receipt from the delegation chairman or his designee. The records of receipt
are in the possession of Mr. Feinstein; and I have been assured by Mrs. Ann
Wilson, also a member of the Host Committee, that they will be delivered to
me. After receiving the "goodie bags" containing the gifts and the group
of female gifts, the chairman or his designee had the responsibility of
internal distribution. The Advance Operation then acquired the responsi-
bility of making sure the remaining twenty-two (22) states received their
gifts. Mr. Hardy and several other White House advancemen did, in fact,
complete delivery by the end of the Convention, though it had to be completed
on the Convention Floor.
In light of the above facts, it is both Mr. Timmons' and my recommendation
that a letter be drafted to go under the signature of Mr. MacGregor to anyone
who has a complaint, explaining that sufficient gifts were ordered and
delivered for each delegate and alternate attending the Convention, that
perhaps they should check within the delegation to see if anyone received
two gifts by mistake, and, finally, that these were a special-order gift
from the President and would not be able to be reordered due to the nature

SUBJECT:
Preliminary Report on Canvass Kick Off
As you know, the purpose of the Canvass Kick Off was to generate local
publicity in fifty major media markets for our door-to-door canvass effort
to find your supporters SO that they can be turned out on election day.
Hopefully, the end product of the day will be major stories in the local
media which will generate campaign enthusiasm locally, dignify the role of
the volunteer, and assist in our volunteer recruitment efforts. To do
this, we sent our strongest surrogates into the field to canvass with the
local organizations and limited their exposure to the canvass kick off,
We now have preliminary reports from most of the kick off cities and the
results are better than our expectations.
1.
We had good canvassing in all fifty cities. The average number
of canvassers going door to door was over' 200. Most headquarters
had a much larger crowd to meet the surrogate than the number of
canvassers who actually hit the streets. In summary, we estimate
that over 10,000 volunteers canvassed door to door in the fifty
cities. They will have visited over 400,000 households and reached
over 1,000,000 persons by the end of the day These figures do not
include the turn-out for the many other cities which kicked off their
canvasses without the surrogates. While we have no record of past
efforts, I expect that today's canvass will surpass any one day
canvass ever operated in a Presidential campaign.
2.
The crowds were enthusiastic with no exceptions.
3.
There was excellent press coverage; with rare exceptions there
was at least one TV camera crew and in most cases, two or three.
Only Trenton (Rumsfeld) and Houston (Kemp) had no TV coverage.
The writing press was well represented.
4.
The surrogates seem to have enjoyed themselves; our advancemen
have yet to report an unhappy surrogate.
5.
Many warm human interest type stories came out of the canvass (I
will outline them later.)
- 2 -
6.
There were few problems - Senator Taft was fogged in on the
Cincinnati runway and was not able to get to Bergen County, New
Jersey for the kick off. Senator Cook was rained out in Nashville.
7.
The First Family events went well according to our preliminary
reports.
a.
Mrs. Nixon, accompanied by Governor Rockefeller and Senators
Javits and Buckley, kicked off the canvass with a crowd of
two to three thousand in Queens.
b.
Julie had a large, enthusiastic crowd in Philadelphia in a
lower middle class neighborhood. Some 350 canvassers went
door to door with her.
C.
Tricia also had a good crowd in Columbus, Ohio. She was greeted
by 800 to 1,000 people, and approximately 250 canvassers
accompanied her. National television covered the event.
8.
The canvassing results were most encouraging. For example, in West
Roxbury, Massachusetts, we canvassed in Ward 20. This Ward has
23,000 registered Democrats, 2,500 Republicans and 4,000 Independents.
Today we found 2,244 of your supporters, 946 for McGovern, and 1,068
Undecided. In addition, we found 254 unregistered voters who support
you.
Here are a few episodes which indicate the type of local interest stories
the surrogates generated in the neighborhoods:
a.
Senator Scott climbed a ladder to canvass a man repairing his
roof in Minneapolis.
b.
A canvasser in Cedar Rapids found one of your distant cousins.
(She claimed her grandmother was your grandfather's sister.)
She is a registered Democrat but strongly supports you.
C.
A blind lady canvassed in Buffalo with Secretary Peterson.
d.
Clark MacGregor canvassed 20 homes which had not been previously
canvassed in Pittsburgh and found 20 supporters. The New York
Times reporter could not believe it and went back to the Democrats
to see if they had been pre-canvassed. They were emphatic in
their denials.
e,
Bob Finch canvassed a man in Albany who was repairing his roof.
The man recognized him walking across the street and shouted,
"Is that Bob Finch?" Bob replied "Yes, and I'm here to ask for
your vote for the President.' The man replied, "I have voted
for the President since 1952, and I will again in 1972."
- 3 -
f.
Secretary Shultz signed and handed out new one dollar bills
to University of Texas students in Austin.
g.
In Oklahoma City, our celebrity, Madeline Rhue (star in
Bracken's World), asked a small boy of the "Dennis the Menace"
type if he supported the President. The boy replied emphatically
that everybody in this house supports the President.
In summary, I consider the day a success. We have successfully kicked off
our most important campaign activity and generated enthusiasm in our State
campaign organizations. Also, the effort coalesced the campaign team. All
1701 Divisions, the RNC Field Division and the White House Advance Staff
worked effectively and harmoniously together as a team.
The coverage on tonight's news and in the Sunday press will indicate if the
kick off was a success with the media.
I will have a final report for you next week detailing the canvass results
as well as the media coverage.

Nelson Rockefeller raised with the President the fact that Ken Keating
would like to serve as a surrogate in our campaign.
The President feels that Keating could be very useful in places such
as Philadelphia, etc., outside of New York, as well as in New York
State. He can do a good job on the foreign policy issue.
The President wanted to be sure that Keating got a call confirming
that he would be added to the list as a surrogate for the campaign.
Apparently this is a prestige matter as much as anything else.
Also Tom Kuchel apparently wants to be asked to help in the campaign
and should be called by you to request his participation. He can be

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MacGREGOR
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
As you know, I have been working with Bob Ellsworth and Peter Flanigan
in developing a high level committee of top people from the financial
community in New York City. This committee would act for the President in
the same manner as Democrats for Nixon. When originally discussed, the
committee was to be a very small, select committee of only the top names
in the New York financial community. As you know, Walter B. Wriston,
head of FNCB, had agreed to be Chairman.
The program we had planned for this committee was basically to run a
few select ads in appropriate financial publications, and hold several
press conferences when appropriate.
Orginally, it was felt that McGovern might begin to make some in-
roads into this community and that this committee could help prevent
any erosion. After McGovern's Security Analyst speech, we have found
that rather than gaining in this area he is continuing to lose ground.
At the same time, one problem area that still plagues us is our association
with "big business" and the "fat cats". Therefore, based on these
current considerations and the recent polling data, both Peter Flanigan
and I feel that we should not activate this committee at this time, but
rather hold it in reserve in case it becomes necessary to use closer to
election day.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
FRANK HERRINGER
SUBJECT:
Evans and Novak Column
As you requested, I have attempted to discover the source for the Evans
and Novak column entitled "The Connally Syndrome. 11 In view of Chuck
Colson's comments in his August 25 memoranda to you and to Clark
MacGregor, I have given particular attention to assessing the probability
that the leak emanated from 1701.
My overall conclusion is that this particular Evans and Novak column can-
not be conclusively traced to 1701. Some of the information in the column
was so widely hold that definitive tracing is not possible, while in other
instances good guesses can be made as to how Evans and Novak received
their information.
Before going into specifics, it is important to realize that the Connally
Democrats for Nixon organization was one of the major controversial
topics of discussion between the Republican Party leaders and the 1701
people in Miami Beach. A good reporter wandering around the Convention
floor trying to find differences between the RNC and CREP would have had
little trouble discovering that Democrats for Nixon was a sore point with
many Republicans, particularly in the South. Consequently, it is reasonable
to surmise that Evans or Novak picked up the overall story, and did some
digging from several sources to develop the column.
There are four distinct items in the column that could have been leaks.
Each of them is discussed below.
1. Mario Procaccino. The column states that Connally named Procaccino
as head of Democrats for Nixon in New York, but then backed off when he
was told by "New York political operatives" that Procaccino was a "laughing
stock. 11
As Chuck Colson pointed out, he not Connally was actually responsible
for the Procaccino recommendation. However, the person who leaked the
story did not know this he implied to Evans and Novak that Procaccino was
Connally's mistake; and evidence of Connally's lask of political knowledge.
SEP 1 1 1972
2
Charles Lanigan, the New York State Republican Chairman, made this
very point in a small meeting at the Fountainbleu attended by three 1701
representatives -- MacGregor, Malek, and Jerry Jones (Malek's deputy
at the campaign). Lanigan was critical of Connally's apparent ignorance
of New York, and used the very words "Inughing stock" to describe
Procaccino. Governor Rockefeller's amicable settlement with Connally
(cited in Colson's memo as evidence that New York people could not have
been the source of this leak) did not inhibit Lanigan at this meeting,
which was probably taking place at about the same time that Evans or
Novak was getting his information. Also, Lanigan's tendency to ridicule
CREP was evidenced by his widely quoted absurd allegation that a respon-
sible CREP employee asked him whether the Governor of New York were
elected or appointed.
I am not suggesting that Lanigan was necessarily the source of the
Procaccino information, but I think it is as reasonable to assume this as
it is to assume that the leak was at 1701.
2. Virginia. "We don't want to let the Andy Millers (a Democratic
candidate for state office in Virginia) off the hook, and that's what
Connally would do. 11 Evans and Novak attributed this statement to "one
Virginia Republican leader" in Miami Beach.
I have found no reason to assume that this statement came from 1701
rather than the attributed "Virginia Republican lender. " The circum-
stances surrounding the fact that "Connally will avoid the Old Dominion"
are widely known in Virginia Party circles as well as at 1701, and thus
it is not possible to pin down the source of this particular leak.
3. Tennessee. Evans and Novak claim that the Tennessee Republicans
have also "locked the door" on Connally, and that they sent an "ultimatum"
to MacGregor on the subject.
The statement is at least partially untrue, as MacGregor received no
such ultimatum. He has no written communications from Tennessee on
the matter, nor does he remember any conversations which resembled
this, although many other Southern leaders have complained to him about
Democrats for Nixon.
There are several conceivable sources for this incorrect "leak": (a) The
"Virginia leader" quoted earlier might have continued talking to Evans or
Novak about other situations in the South: (b) A boastful Tennessean could
have exaggerated their situation in a separate interview; or (c) A mis-
informed 1701 official could have leaked it. It seems to me that all of the
above and several variations on each -- are equally probable br improb-
able).
4. Charles Snider. The most interesting item in the column was the
information that Connally offerred a campaign job to Charles Snider,
Governor Wallace's campaign manager. Snider was willing, but Wallace
said no.
This is evidently quite true, but known to only a few people at Democrate
for Nixon, and to Chuck Colson, who was apparently involved in the over-
ture to Snider. No one at 1701 appears to have known about this Malek,
Magudder, Jones, and Ray Brown (the 1701 Regional Director for the deep
South) all stated emphatically that the first they know of the Snider situation
was when they read it in Evans and Novak. Moreover, when I talked with
Brown he had just returned from a two-day visit to Alabama, where the
Snider affair was not mentioned by anyone. Harry Dent and Wally He mley,
who were in constant touch with Southern party leaders, also did not know
of the Snider offer.
The Snider information was therefore very closely held -- and held by
individuals extremely unlikely to leak it to Evans and Novak for an anti-
Connally column. A possible solution to this leak emerged when I found
that the article on the campaign in the September 2 National Journal con-
tained the Snider story -- in direct quotes from Snider himself, It is
very possible that Snider also talked to Evans and Nevak, or that Evans
and Novak talked to the people who wrote the story for National Journal,
In summary, I would conclude that Evans and Novak had several sources
for this column. Lanigan or an associate of his in New York was probably
responsible for the Procaccino item, local Republican Party officials were
probably the source of the Virginia and Tennessee stories, and Charles
Snider probably told his own story to Evans and Novak. The leakors are
probably all beyond our control, and almost impossible to trace without
cooperation from Evans and Novak, which we are not likely to get. In
this particular instance, I find it difficult to agree with Chuck Colson's
conclusion that "all signs point to 1701. 11

FOR:
The Honorable Clark MacGregor
THROUGH:

FROM:

s.y.fe
SUBJECT:
Attack in '72 Senate and House Races
OBJECTIVE
Our continuing objective is to exploit the President's large lead
in the polls to provide more votes for the President and more votes
for Republican Senatorial and Congressional candidates, by endeavor-
ing to create and/or to take advantage of divisions between Democrat
candidates and McGovern.
WHAT WE'VE DONE
1. We obtained judgments from Dent, Timmons and LaRue on which
Republican candidates we should not put on our mailing lists.
2. We have made the following mailings consisting of three state-
ments (for use in for, against and neutral positions of opponents
in terms of McGovern's candidacy) each time on a particular sub-
ject matter:
(a) September 2nd -- McGovern's welfare program and higher taxes
therefrom;
(b) September 8th -- Implications of McGovern's defense proposals;
(c) September 14th -- McGovern's lack of credibility.
3. At present there are 355 candidates on our list. By the end of this
week, we will have had one or more telephone contacts with each such
person. (It is to be noted that primaries are still to be held in
Hawaii, Massachusetts and Washington, and that a number were held
last week.) We were not able to work out arrangements with the
Regional Political people to help in the calling because of the
canvass kickoff.
CONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY
The Hon. Clark MacGregor

September 19, 1972
4. Our contacts with the candidates reveal the following:
(a) 45% are using the releases basically as is;
(b) 26% are using the releases to attack McGovern without
mentioning their opponent's name;
(c) 15% say they like the materials, but are not using it
because their opponents are unknown;
(d) 4% say the materials are not useful because their
opponents are anti-McGovern and/or pro-Nixon.
(e) 10% have not started campaigning.
5. We are attaching copies of written responses to our activity
we've received. Below are samples of oral comments made to us:
(a) From an incumbent Congressman, "My opponent was a McGovern
floor leader at the Convention. We need your releases, as
many as possible. This is a Republican district."
(b) "We like your releases. This is a very hard race, we will
need a lot of help to win." (this comment came from an
incumbent Congressman who, because of redistricting, is
running against an incumbent Democrat Congressman)
(c) "We are attacking the opponent on his support of McGovern.
We will use your releases -- they are the most helpful tool."
(d) "We are extremely happy with the releases and are using them
completely. Keep up the good work."
(e) "We find the material very useful and are using them in
speeches also."
(f) "The releases are great, we need all possible material."
(g) "The releases are very helpful. We are using them to nail
our opponent on his voting record, which is similar to
McGovern's."
(h) "My opponent is a prime mover for McGovern. We like the
releases and need all possible material."

6. Barbara Higgins has been placed in charge of this project
and is doing an outstanding job.
WHAT WE WILL DO
We will:
1. Continue to compile needed information on our candidates and
their opponents regarding the above project.
2. Starting this week, we are sending out releases on two subject
matters rather than one as in the past.
3. Send put additional issue material to the candidates. We have
received many requests therefore.
4. Maintain contact with Republican candidates, advise them where
they can get answers to other campaign problems and urge them to
use our materials and this approach in the campaign.
DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES
To date our contacts have indicated the following positions of Demo-
crat candidates for the Congress on McGovern:
1. 50% have announced publicly for McGovern;
2. 5% have announced publicly against McGovern;
3. 12% have taken a neutral stance; and
4. 33% of such Democrats have an unknown stand.
It is to be noted that these percentages are only for those on our list.
CONCLUSION
The response to our program has been very good. Our doubling of news
releases to the candidates should increase the effectiveness of our
program. Sending additional issue materials tends to make the program
stronger, too.

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 (your 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."

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."

spending," (your last name and title) said. "The people of (location of your

McGovern's tax and welfare program unveiled last week in New York is "out of

"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. Sen. 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

SUGGESTED RELEASE TO BE USED IF YOUR OPPONENT SUPPORTS MC GOVERN:
DATELINE, Date -- (Your name and title) said today that "Sen. George

(Your last name and title) said that "(your opponent's name and title)

"Every thinking American wants to eliminate unnecessary defense spending,

penses item-by-item and make rational choices. Sen. McGovern wants to cut
defense spending by a third and then figure out what programs should be cut."
"President Nixon has reversed national spending priorities in his first
term," (your last name and title) said. "The Federal Government is now spend-
ing more money on domestic needs than on defense for the first time since
World War II. That's the kind of progress we can make with responsible
leadership.'
"The McGovern meat axe approach is not only irresponsible," (your last
name and title) said, "it is dangerous to international stability. Its effect
on our ability to keep peace in the Middle East would be disastrous."
"I think (your opponent's name and title) should face up to the fact that
he cannot ask the people to consider him a responsible candidate while he
still supports Sen. McGovern and his national security programs."

"I think the people of (location of your constituency, i.e., district and state)

Sen. McGovern or doesn't he? Does he endorse the McGovern meat axe approach to

"President Nixon has reversed national spending priorities in his first term,"
(your name and title) said. "The Federal Government is now spending more money
on domestic needs than on defense for the first time since World War II. That's
the kind of progress we can make with responsible leadership."
"The McGovern meat axe approach is not only irresponsible," (your last name
and title) said, "it is dangerous to international stability. Its effect on our
ability to keep the peace in the Middle East would be devastating."

ELEASE NUMBER 1
UCGESTED RELEASE TO BE USED IF YOUR OPPONENT SUPPORTS MC GOVERN:
YOUR CITY, Date -- (Your name and title) today charged the national Democratic
IcGovern-Shriver ticket with "more back-pedaling and more rewriting of history on
ome of its most far-out proposals.' =
He cited Vice Presidential nominee Sargent Shriver's assertion last Tuesday
in Sacramento, California, that his running mate never advocated a $1,000 per
erson income redistribution plan.
"The fact is McGovern did propose it, his campaign literature advocated it,
nd there is ample proof of those facts," (your name) stated. "I challenge (your
pponent's name and title) to explain to the people of (your state or congressional
istrict) how he can support a national ticket which engages in such a blatant
ffort to confuse and mislend the public."
"McGovern and Shriver can't have it both ways," (your name) said, "and
your opponent's name) can't have it both ways. Either you propose to give every
han, woman and child in America $1,000, or you don't."
According to (your name), McGovern was quoted in the January 19, 1972
Congressional Record as saying, "I propose that every man, woman and child re-
ceive from the Federal Government an annual payment
...
At the present time a
ayment of almost $1,000 per person would be required
" He also cited wire
service reports that McGovern aides during the California primary campaign last
May gave newsmen a statement outlining the $1,000 per person plan, entitled
Senator McGovern's Minimum Income Proposal."
"Promises like that helped McGovern and his radical elitists to gain control
of their party, " (your name) said, "and he and Sargent Shriver just have to live
with them today. They cannot bc permitted to rewrite history with impunity. I say
to (your opponent's name), you cannot expect your own candidacy to be credible to
the people of (your state or congressional district) when you support this
McGovern-Shriver ticket."

opponent's name) to join me in condemning this blatant attempt on the part of
those campaigning on his party's national ticket to confuse and mislead the public.
"McGovern and Shriver can't have it both ways," (your name) said, "and
(your opponent's name) can't sit idly by and thereby condone these tactics. Either
you propose to give every man, woman and child in America $1,000 or you don't."

is to the people of this Nation, unless you publicly repudiate these tactics of

PRESS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 14, 1972
KAELIN FOR CONGRESS HEADQUARTERS
I HAVE INVITED YOU HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THE MC GOVERN TAX PROPOSALS AND
MY OPPONENT'S FAILURE TO SECURE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR THE THIRD DISTRICT.
SINCE MY OPPONENT HAS ENDORSED SENATOR MC GOVERN, HE CANNOT ESCAPE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE LATEST TAX AND WELFARE SCHEMES -- SCHEMES THAT
WOULD DOUBLE THE TAX BILL OF THE AVERAGE FAMILY IF THEY WERE ENACTED BY
CONGRESS.
BECAUSE MY OPPONENT IS SUPPORTING MR. MC GOVERN, .I ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY WHY HE THINKS
SCHEMES WHICH WOULD INCREASE TAXES BY $1,038 DOLLARS A YEAR ON A FAMILY OF
FOUR MAKING $12,500 YEARLY ARE GOOD PROGRAMS.
SENATOR MC GOVERN HAS RE-JUGGLED THE DETAILS OF HIS FAMOUS PLAN
TO GIVE EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA $1,000 PER YEAR REGARDLESS OF HIS INCOME.
BUT MC GOVERN'S GOAL REMAINS THE SAME: TO TAX THE WORKING PEOPLE OF
AMERICA IN ORDER TO MULTIPLY THE NATION'S WELFARE ROLLS.
SENATOR MC GOVERN AND MY OPPONENT APPARENTLY ARE CONVINCED THAT
AMERICA NEEDS TO PUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ON WELFARE. I BELIEVE WE
SHOULD PUT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE OFF WELFARE BY PUTTING THEM TO WORK.
-2-
I AM AGAIN DISAPPOINTED IN OUR NON-REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF THE
HOUSE, MY OPPONENT, AFTER TALKING ABOUT HIS CONCERN FOR PEOPLE, HE HAS
AGAIN FAILED TO GET THE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR A NEW GENERAL HOSPITAL. THIS
-- THE SECOND FAILURE OF MY OPPONENT WAS REPORTED BY HIM UNDER THE
GUISE OF, "YES, THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN APPROVED BY H. E. W. BUT IT IS NOT
OF SUFFICIENT PRIORITY TO BE FINANCED."
MY OPPONENT WHO HAS EXPRESSED HIS "PESSIMISM" -- WHO HAS EXPRESSED
HIS "SERIOUS DOUBTS" ABOUT THIS PROJECT CONCEDED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO
GET THE FUNDS. WITH A TOTAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET OF 580 MILLION DOLLARS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1972, AND AN AUTHORIZED BUDGET OF 142 MILLION DOLLARS,
MY OPPONENT HAS FAILED TO GET THE 23.6 MILLION DOLLARS NEEDED TO BUILD A
NEW GENERAL HOSPITAL IN LOUISVILLE.
IF HE IS UNABLE TO GET THE FUNDS FOR A PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE, WHAT IS HE EVER GOING
TO BE ABLE TO DO FOR THE DIXIE VALLEY HOSPITAL COMMITTEE, THE PARK-DU VALLE
AREA, THE LOUISVILLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, FAIRDALE, SOUTH PARK HEALTH CENTER,
HAZELWOOD OR ANY OTHER AREA WHERE MEDICAL FACILITIES ARE NEEDED.
TO MEET THE OVERALL GOAL OF PROVIDING EVERY CITIZEN OF THE THIRD
DISTRICT WITH BETTER AND LESS EXPENSIVE HEALTH CARE, I PROPOSE DIRECTING
PRESS RELEASE - PAGE THREE
OUR EFFORTS TOWARD FIVE AREAS:
1.
INCREASING THE SUPPLY OF MEDICAL SERVICES
2. ASSURING ACCESS TO BASIC MEDICAL CARE
3. PREVENTING FUTURE PROBLEMS
4. REDUCING THE COST OF HEALTH CARE
5. AND BY ELECTING TO CONGRESS PHIL KAELIN WHO IS TRULY CONCERNED
WITH THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE THIRD DISTRICT AND WHO WILL NOT ENGAGE
IN NON-PRODUCTIVE TALK. I WILL WORK TO GET THE FEDERAL MONEY FOR A NEW
GENERAL HOSPITAL.
I WILL SUPPORT THE DIXIE VALLEY HOSPITAL COMMITTEE
IN THEIR EFFORT TO SECURE 150 BEDS FOR SOUTHWESTERN JEFFERSON COUNTY. I WILL
WORK TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND THE AMBULANCE AND MEDICAL SERVICES OF THE
PARK DU VALLE MEDICAL CENTER. I WILL BE WORKING FOR ALL OF THE PEOPLE
OF THIS DISTRICT AND NOT JUST A SELECT FEW.
THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION HAS MOVED ON A NUMBER OF FRONTS TO IMPROVE
THE HEALTH CARE OF ALL AMERICANS. TOTAL FEDERAL OUTLAYS FOR HEALTH UNDER
THE CURRENT BUDGET WILL EQUAL 25.5 BILLION. PRESIDENT NIXON HAS ALSO
DIRECTED HIMSELF TO SPECIAL AREAS OF CONCERN: CANCER, NURSING HOME
FACILITIES AND A FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR GRANT FOR SICKLE-CELL ANEMIA RESEARCH.

PRESS RELEASE
THIS OVERALL STRATEGY OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE PRESIDENT'S COMMITMENT
TO ACTION HAS PRODUCED GREAT PROGRESS TOWARD THE ZOAL OF HAVING AMERICA
BECOME, "THE HEALTHIEST NATION IN THE WORLD," THIS I ENDORSE AND WILL
WORK FOR.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MacGREGOR
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
As you know, I have been working with Bob Ellsworth and Peter Flanigan
in developing a high level committee of top people from the financial
community in New York City. This committee would act for the President in
the same manner as Democrats for Nixon. When originally discussed, the
committee was to be a very small, select committee of only the top names
in the New York financial community. As you know, Walter B. Wriston,
head of FNCB, had agreed to be Chairman.
The program we had planned for this committee was basically to run a
few select ads in appropriate financial publications, and hold several
press conferences when appropriate.
Orginally, it was felt that McGovern might begin to make some in-
roads into this community and that this committee could help prevent
any erosion. After McGovern's Security Analyst speech, we have found
that rather than gaining in this area he is continuing to lose ground.
At the same time, one problem area that still plagues us is our association
with "big business" and the "fat cats". Therefore, based on these
current considerations and the recent polling data, both Peter Flanigan
and I feel that we should not activate this committee at this time, but
rather hold it in reserve in case it becomes necessary to use closer to
election day.

Dear
:
Senator George McGovern's candidacy for the Presidency appears
to be having serious start-up difficulties. Perhaps, this is one reason
why, in recent weeks, an element of character assassination has become
increasingly apparent in various of his and his running mate's public
statements.
I want to be specific. Sargent Shriver, as quoted by the Associated
Press, said on August 25 that the President of our country "is the Number
One warmaker in the world at the present time."
Senator McGovern commented on the NBC Evening News of August 25
that the alleged "bugging" of the Democratic National Committee headquarters
-- a bizarre incident in which no responsible official of the Nixon Admini-
stration was involved -- "is the kind of thing you would expect from a
person like Hitler.
This was not the first time in his campaign that Senator McGovern
alluded to the Nazi dictator. In an Associated Press dispatch of June 20
he is quoted as describing the President's policy of air support of South
Vietnam as "the most barbaric action that any country has committed since
Hitler's effort to exterminate the Jews in Germany in the 1930's.' On
March 1, United Press International quoted Senator McGovern as describing
the President's Vietnam policy as "the most barbaric act that has been
committed by any modern power since the death of Adolph Hitler. "
These odious comparisons have no place in an American political campaign.
President Nixon has emphatically and specifically instructed that
personal attacks on Senator McGovern are to be avoided and that our campaign
is to be focused on a discussion of the issues. We regard such an approach
as the only proper way to conduct a campaign, and we will continue to con-
duct ourselves accordingly. This emphasis on the positive will be the
character of the Nixon campaign.
As to the McGovern campaign, it is clearly following the opposite
course. Senator McGovern ill-serves the American electorate and, for that
matter, his own political interests, when he engages in such slander. The
voters of America are turned off by these desperation tactics.

Distribution of Lapel, Thed Pins
SUBJECT:
An idea has come up for gaining increased use of the American flag
lapel pin worn by the President. The thought being that the presence
of this particular pin signifies, more than anything, the bond we all
share in our endeavor to re-elect the President. Thus, in order to
gain wider distribution of this pin, our thought is to:
1. Issue pins to all 1701/1730 and November Group staff, (volunteers
included), with a cover memo from you.
APPROVE
DISAPPROVE
2. Provide all surrogates with pins for their own use as well as a
supply of pins for distribution to their staffs and at their
speaking locations. Again, these will go out with a note from you.
APPROVE
DISAPPROVE
3. Provide all State Chairmen with a pin for their use and a supply
of pins for distribution to their staff and in their area. Your
letter would accompany the pins.
APPROVE
DISAPPROVE
4. Issue pins to all voter block and citizen's committee heads for
distribution to their membership. This distribution will include
Ken Rietz and his corps of young folks who in turn can hand out
pins during their "Bumper Blitz", as well as Pat Hutar and her
legion of volunteers.
APPROVE
DISAPPROVE

5. Provide each advanceman here at the Committee, as well as Ron
Walker's office, with a full supply of pins to distribute as
they move across the country.

We would also order pins for the White House Staff (in conjunction
with Bruce Kehrli) as well as for guests and staff of the Spirit
of '76 (in conjunction with Dwight Chapin).

DISAPPROVE
Attached are memoranda for your signature which will be used for
distribution to the groups noted above.
One last thought: If you agree with the basic idea outlined above,
this may make a good news item and I'll pursue it with Al Abrahams.

STRATEGY MEMORANDUM
We've got to facts the fact that there has been a change of
view in the nation. The mood has changed and we no longer
need to be against the status quo as we originally thought we
did. Therefore, we should be selling on a positive basis of
things being good, rather than bad, using, "Don't let them
take It away." line.
On the use of the flag in the lapel, we can make the point that
the reason the President wears it is that his.daughters gave
him a flag the morning after the November 3rd speech and it
has a sentimental feeling for him.

SUBJECT:
Billy Graham Phone Call
As I indicated to you, Billy Graham called yesterday
afternoon to report on a matter that he is rather
concerned about, namely, the formation by a group
of several liberal chuech leaders from an organization
for McGovern. Heading the organization will be a
gentleman named Bishop James Armstrong who Graham
has a lot of respect for. He is young, intellectual, a
real go-getter and commer in the church. Billy indicates
that his sources say that they are setting up a coast-to-
coast organization to raise funds, send letters to editors
correcting misstatements about McGovern, hold church
services for McGovern, issue discussions, run ads, etc.
The first church service will be run Sunday, October 8.
His analysis of this whole situation is that it will have
some impact, that it will involve somewhere between 200
and 300 leaders, and will probably grow beyond that. The
attempt here is to make McGovern the candidate of the
church.
At the formation meeting that was taking place on this
subject, there was some question as to whether or not
they should attack Billy Grhham because of his friendship
with the President, but decided not to do this.
2
E
Billy, frankly, had no special advice at the time he
talked to me, but during the next 24 hours he is going to
be calling several of his friends within the church to get
a reading on what they feel should be done. He is, I
believe, willing to consider the establishment of an organiza-
tion for church leaders for Nixon. Frankly, he is just a
little surprised at what's happening here and wants some
time to think about it.
I believe he would like to talk to you and will be athis
residence for most of the day and available to talk.
He mentioned that he had been making several statements
around the country that are pro Nixon and said we could
use those statements whereever we want once they have
been put into public print.
I suggest you call Graham.

Regarding the Vice President's role, he should not
take McGovern on -- that's better for Connally to do
this. The Vice President should compare the Presi-
dent and McGovern on the record, andicite our progress
on Revenue Sharing and so forth, build the idea of the
new American majority, not a Republican majority.
He should work for the election of Gongressmen and
Senators who will support the President, not who will
support Republicans,
It's good for us to be positive in terms of all of our
speakers -- positive and not irritating, except for
Connally who should take McGovern on.
All surrogates and the Vice President should be a
contrast to McGovern. They should be pro President
and pro America. Things are good. The economy is
looking up. We should quit running down this country,
be proud of our President and our young people, Show
your pride by voting on election day. Make this the
biggest vote in history -- whichever side you vote on.
There should be a memo to all surrogates on this line.
They should compare today to #68, how things have
changed and enumerate this, spell It out,

SUBJECT:
Report on Canvass Kick Off
Most of our field reports from the fifty canvass kick off cities are
now in. They confirm what we have all felt; namely that the canvass
kick off was an unqualified success. We knew on Saturday that the can-
vasses had gone well - a good number of enthusiastic volunteers turned
Qut door to door; the surrogates appearances went smoothly, and the
surrogates enjoyed themselves. This activity in itself fulfilled our
goals of getting the state campaign organizations started on their can-
vasses, of pinpointing our organizational weaknesses, and of coalescing
the Political Division, RNC's Field Division and the Tour Office into a
team.
Also, on Saturday, we knew there was extensive coverage of the canvasses
by television, radio and the press. However, we did not know how the
media would play it on the air on Saturday and in the Sunday papers.
Fortunately, the story took a home-team bounce and we got extensive,
favorable, national and local media play. Because of this favorable
coverage we did fulfill the central goals of canvass kick off:
1.
To publicize the importance of door to door canvassing in
this election by using major administration figures going
door to door.
2.
To dignify the role of the volunteer.
3.
To indicate to the public that we are interested in people,
not special interests and are anxious to take our candidate
directly to them.
While our reports on the media coverage and the canvass outcome are not
yet complete, I can give you specifics on each.
- 2 -
Media Results
National media coverage was as follows:
Network TV - Coverage on Saturday's news by all networks (over
3 minutes on CBS) CBS also used footage on Sunday's Campaign
Wrap-up. Coverage was quite favorable.
National Press - On Saturday, eight stories went out over the AP
wires and two were carried by UPI. The New York Times and The
Washington Post carried stories although they were not on the
front page. Coverage was favorable.
Local media was as follows:
97 local TV stations covered the event in the 42 cities which
have reported. Total air time in the 10 cities for which
we have reports averaged 6.5 minutes. The coverage was both
lengthly and favorable - Atlanta, for example, devoted ten
minutes to Harry Dent on the canvass.
In most cities, local radio carried the canvass on the news; we
have no time breakouts.
All local papers carried the canvass in the Sunday papers. To
date we have clipped 102 articles from 36 cities. Eleven of
these were given front page space. The coverage was extensive
(most articles covered several columns) and favorable, as can
be seen from the attached samples.
Canvass Results
In the fifty local headquarters from which we ran the surrogate canvasses,
10,650 volunteers went door to door. This figure does not include those
canvasses operating out of our other headquarters on Saturday. (For example,
six other canvasses were held in Virginia, four were held in Denver in neigh-
borhoods other than where Mrs. Knauer participated; 700 canvassers hit the
streets in the Bay Area from other headquarters.)
We estimate that our voluntcers called on almost 700,000 households through-
out the country and contacted over 1.5 million persons. Unfortunately, We
do not yet have complete reports compiled, but partial returns add up as
follows:
Households Contacted

26,530
18.2%
Undecided
29,266
20.1%
Not-At-hones
36,02
- 3 -
These figures support our latest polling results. Importantly, the
percentages were consistent from city to city and state to state.
Follow Up Steps
As I mentioned earlier, the kick off helped us spot both the strengths
and weaknesses in the state organizations where the canvasses were held.
We expected and found weaknesses in several of our key and battleground
states. In these cases - New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas,
California and Missouri- I have already moved to speed up the effort to
organize the canvasses by assigning one or two of our national fieldmen
full time to each state.
In conjunction with these assignments I have talked to each of these states
and asked them to work with my staff to organize statewide canvasses for
Saturday, October 7 (California will go on September 30). We will put
second line and local surrogates in the major cities in each of these
states and use them as a motivating tool to force volunteer recruitment
and canvass preparation. I will report to you on the progress of this
special effort in the coming weeks.
*
*
*
In summary, the day was a success on all fronts and is one which all of
us can be justly proud. Particular praise should go to the campaign team
here - the scheduling office, the tour office, the political division and
the RNC's field groups. However, we have all been sobered by the job ahead
if we are to meet our canvassing goals nationwide. You may begin to hear
screams as I begin to put pressure on those states which are behind to get
the canvassing job done. I believe Saturday proved that forcing this
activity is well worth the price.

As you probably know, the pollsters in their analysis say

weak areas where we have been surprisingly strong in recent
weeks. It would be very interesting to have your analysis of

so, why and any thoughts you have on whether there is anything

SUBJECT:
Report on Canvass Kick Off
Most of our field reports from the fifty canvass kick off cities are
now in. They confirm what we have all felt; namely that the canvass
kick off was an unqualified success. We knew on Saturday that the can-
vasses had gone well - a good number of enthusiastic volunteers turned
out door to door; the surrogates appearances went smoothly, and the
surrogates enjoyed themselves. This activity in itself fulfilled our
goals of getting the state campaign organizations started on their can-
vasses, of pinpointing our organizational weaknesses, and of coalescing
the Political Division, RNC's Field Division and the Tour Office into a
team.
Also, on Saturday, we knew there was extensive coverage of the canvasses
by television, radio and the press. However, we did not know how the
media would play it on the air on Saturday and in the Sunday papers.
Fortunately, the story took a home-team bounce and we got extensive,
favorable, national and local media play. Because of this favorable
coverage we did fulfill the central goals of canvass kick off:
1.
To publicize the importance of door to door canvassing in
this election by using major administration figures going
door to door.
2.
To dignify the role of the volunteer.
3.
To indicate to the public that we are interested in people,
not special interests and are anxious to take our candidate
directly to them.
While our reports on the media coverage and the canvass outcome are not
yet complete, I can give you specifics on each.

Media Results
National media coverage was as follows:
Network TV - Coverage on Saturday's news by all networks (over
3 minutes on CBS). CBS also used footage on Sunday's Campaign
Wrap-up. Coverage was quite favorable.
National Press - On Saturday, eight stories went out over the AP
wires and two were carried by UPI. The New York Times and The
Washington Post carried stories although they were not on the
front page. Coverage was favorable.
Local media was as follows:
97 local TV stations covered the event in the 42 cities which
have reported. Total air time in the 10 cities for which
we have reports averaged 6.5 minutes. The coverage was both
lengthly and favorable - Atlanta, for example, devoted ten
minutes to Harry Dent on the canvass.
In most cities, local radio carried the canvass on the news; we
have no time breakouts.
All local papers carried the canvass in the Sunday papers. To
date we have clipped 102 articles from 36 cities. Eleven of
these were given front page space. The coverage was extensive
(most articles covered several columns) and favorable, as can
be seen from the attached samples.
Canvass Results
In the fifty local headquarters from which we ran the surrogate canvasses,
10,650 volunteers went door to door. This figure does not include those
canvasses operating out of our other headquarters on Saturday. (For example,
six other canvasses were held in Virginia, four were held in Denver in neigh-
borhoods other than where Mrs. Knauer participated; 700 canvassers hit the
streets in the Bay Area from other headquarters.)
We estimate that our volunteers called on almost 700,000 households through-
out the country and contacted over 1.5 million persons. Unfortunately, We
do not yet have complete reports compiled, but partial returns add up as
follows:
Households Contacted
164,397
For the President
89,996
61.7%
For McGovern
26,530
18.2%
Undectided
29,266
20.1%
Not-At- llones
36,202
- 3 -
These figures support our latest polling results. Importantly, the
percentages were consistent from city to city and state to state.
Follow Up Steps
As I mentioned earlier, the kick off helped us spot both the strengths
and weaknesses in the state organizations where the canvasses were held.
We expected and found weaknesses in several of our key and battleground
states. In these cases - New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas,
California and Missouri- I have already moved to speed up the effort to
organize the canvasses by assigning one or two of our national fieldmen
full time to each state.
In conjunction with these assignments I have talked to each of these states
and asked them to work with my staff to organize statewide canvasses for
Saturday, October 7 (California will go on September 30). We will put
second line and local surrogates in the major cities in each of these
states and use them as a motivating tool to force volunteer recruitment
and canvass preparation. I will report to you on the progress of this
special effort in the coming weeks.
*
*
*
In summary, the day was a success on all fronts and is one which all of
us can be justly proud. Particular praise should go to the campaign team
here - the scheduling office, the tour office, the political division and
the RNC's field groups. However, we have all been sobered by the job ahead
if we are to meet our canvassing goals nationwide. You may begin to hear
screams as I begin to put pressure on those states which are behind to get
the canvassing job done. I believe Saturday proved that forcing this
activity is well worth the price.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MACGREGOR.
FROM:
FRED MALEK 7m
SUBJECT:
Progress Report on Political Division Operations
The purpose of this memorandum is to review the progress over the last six
weeks in the field organization and to assess at this point how the campaign
generally is shaping up and what we can expect over the next sixty days.
Generally, we've taken the following actions in the six weeks since the last
written report.
1.
Completed our 1701 re-staffing and staff break-in efforts.
2.
Ironed out state campaign start-up problems - such as state
budgets, state campaign and canvass materials allocations, etc.
3.
.Took steps to strengthen our ties with the Party organization
in each state and at the national level.
4.
Begun pushing state and county organizations to prepare for an
all out effort on our canvassing, registration and voter turn out,
which we formally kicked off September 16.
I will review the most important activities relating to the above actions
and then assess where we now stand in the campaigns in each state and what
we can realistically expect in the state campaigns over the next sixty days.
1701 FIELD DIVISION RE-STAFFING
Our 1701 staff went through its shake down in the month of August. As you
know, our regional directors were on board by the first of August as were the
major pieces of our support staff. In a couple of cases, we have had to make
some adjustments in responsibility and duties in our headquarters staff.
Rick Fore, formerly director of training, has now been given a
broadened mandate and is also responsible for programmatic elements
of the canvassing effort and distribution of canvassing materials
to the states.
- 2 -
Manyon Millican now is responsible only for control and accountability
of the states' canvassing activities. As you know, we have set up a
Master Control Room at 1730 to keep track of canvassing results in each
county in the United States. Manyon is overseeing this tracking effort.
Lewis Dale has been given two important tasks: (1) to oversee state
budget allocations and police state expenditures, and (2) to see that
distribution of campaign materials goes smoothly.
Our team is through the shake down period and is devoting its entire energies
toward operations.
LATIN
Y STATE CAMPAIGN START UP PROBLEMS
As wyou 1: W from your trips into the field, we have had several nagging start
up pro: less which have hindered the states' efforts to get the campaign in
ger
For the most part these are now behind us:
State Budgets - All states now have approved monthly cash flow
oudgets. The finance division is sending money according to the
:ash flow schedules and this system is working satisfactorily.
ee Tab A for our present position OR state spending. Nine or
ten states have come back for supplements, but to now I have
held the line on additional spending.
b.
Campaign Materials - As you have observed on your trips, we have
also had materials problems in many states, as was described to
you this morning. However, the operating structure has now been
improved, backlog has been reduced to less than 20%, and the four
distribution warehouses are now filling campaign orders at a rapid
clip. Most of the complaints pertain to yesterday's problems,
and we are working with individual states to improve distribution
within the state.
Campaign Canvassing Materials - There have been shortages and
mis-allocations of materials in several instances. Three weeks
ago I increased our budget for these materials by one-third so
that each state will have adequate allocations to cover at least
50% of their households. The complaints have subsided in the
last ten days.
d.
Efforts in individual states were strengthened as follows:
In Texas, we appointed Bill Clements as Co-Chairman and
Director of Operations for the state, to replace Fred
Agnich, who was simply not getting the job done. In turn,
Peter O'Donnell has been appointed by Clements to oversee
the canvassing effort. This is a good move since Peter is
one of the most knowledgeable canvassing pros in the business.
- 3 -
In California, Marvin Collins is now plugged directly into
the four regional chairmen. With Marvin properly positioned
and after our trip there to push canvassing and build harmony
among party leaders, I feel operations are moving much more
rapidly than they were.
New York has been dragging its feet and not implementing
our canvassing program. I met with Bixby and his top
lieutenants last week to attempt to remove the road blocks.
I am now satisfied that we will have a good canvass effort
in upstate. Perrotta, the New York City Chairman, is still
not on board, and I will continue to work on him. Unfortunately,
New York will require constant prodding and close supervision
on both of our parts if we are to keep them motivated.
Pennsylvania has also been slow off the mark. To a great
extent, their problems have stemmed from a lack of strong
leadership at the top. I have met with Specter on this and
I expect that he will spend much more time on the campaign.
We should see more rapid movement there.
REBUILDING TIES WITH THE PARTY
As you know, a great deal of resentment had built up over the last year between
the GOP and the 1701 organization due to a number of factors. We knew that
these resentments were building up before the convention; and because of
this, our convention strategy was to direct our efforts almost exclusively to
improving relations with Party and Nixon Chairmen.
I feel that the time we both have taken since the convention to meet with
Party leaders has virtually eliminated the resentment which flaired at the
convention.
Your travels in the various states and meetings with the GOP
and CRP officials has done a great deal to ameliorate the
problem.
As you know I have started a series of telephone calls to Party
officials to discuss their problems and to get to know them.
These are directed particularly at the hot spots. Discussions
with Andrews in Ohio, Jones in Pennsylvania, Davenport in Wash-
ington and many others have begun to calm the water.
In addition, I have directed the Regional Directors to pay particular
attention to Party officials as they travel throughout the states
and to call on them or phone them to let them know what we're doing.
- 4 -
We're making a great effort to jointly operate the voter
identification, registration and turn out canvassing with the
RNC, and the State GOP organizations. For example, the RNC
took responsibility for some 20 of the 50 cities in our canvass
kick off. In essence the two field divisions have merged for
the purpose of getting the canvassing underway.
The carefully planned Tuesday, September 12th meeting of the
RNC and CRP Chairmen here in Washington to explain the national
campaign to the party apparatus bore real fruit. It was favorably
reported in the press, and all feed back indicates that it laid
away any resentments lingering after the convention.
Finally, I have been having regular contact with Dole and Evans
on topics of mutual interest. The regular Friday lunch with Evans
has turned around his formerly unfavorable tone.
In short, we are dealing with a problem which is a natural one and will
never go away completely. However, the excess heat is now out of this
situation and I expect the problem will be under control through the election.
GETTING STATE CANVASSING EFFORTS UNDERWAY
Since the convention, the major thrust of the Political Division has been to
get the states organized and underway on their canvassing effort. This en-
tailed efforts in the following areas:
We have held workshops in the states to explain the details of
the canvassing program and how specifically to organize the
canvass in each storefront across the country. Tab B indicates
progress in holding these workshops to date.
We have pushed for development of state and county organizations
and for headquarters openings. Our regional directors have spent
almost their entire time working with the states to get them
structured and operating for the canvassing.
The regional directors in the key states have been spending
considerable time getting the telephone centers organized and
operating. I have recently had a report on the progress of these
efforts and am most satisfied that the telephone banks are opened
and getting underway as planned. These banks will make a major
contribution to our efforts to contact the voters. Tab 0 gives
a summary of these activities for each state.
- 5 -
We have established the canvassing control and accountability
system that you reviewed yesterday. We are asking each store-
front headquarters to keep strict account of each door to door.
canvassing kit. Each canvasser's results will be posted on con-
trol panels at the storefront headquarters and summary panels
permit storefronts to report progress to the county and state
örganizations. In addition, we have contracted for an 800 in-
watts number so that on each Monday, each Nixon storefront in
every state reports to our National Control Center the results
of their canvassing for the campaign through the preceeding
Saturday. This helps to spot weak areas and get fieldmen
involved to straighten out the problems, and it also allows us
to set up competition between headquarters, states, and regional
directors for canvassing performance.
We kicked off our national canvass program on Saturday, September
16. This took the energies of the entire Political Division for
the two preceeding weeks. The highly successful results which
have been reported to you in previous memos made the exercise
well worth the effort.
AN ASSESSMENT OF OUR PRESENT POSITION
As we knew from the beginning, our door to door canvassing project is a
highly ambitious one. Because we started several months behind in getting
the proper organization in place, funded, and instructed in canvass techniques,
we have always been in the position of playing catch-up ball. In retrospect
our goals are even more ambitious than we realized at the time. We're find-
ing that canvassing is an activity that everyone gives great lip service to
but is generally not well done. In addition, the present lead in the polls
has eroded the sense of urgency of many of our state leaders.
Because of the lateness of our start as well as the complacence we all noted,
we will fall short of our goal to canvass 75% of our priority precincts in
many of our states. Right now I expect that we will have strong canvassing
efforts in the New England states and the key states of Connecticut, Michigan,
Illinois, California, Maryland and Ohio. New Jersey is behind, but coming
on fast and we will have a good effort there. The farm and mountain states
will be spotty. Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota will do a good job. Some of
the other states - Kansas, Montana and Idaho will fall well behind our initial
expectations. There will be only token canvassing in some of the southern
and border states.
I am particularly concerned about the campaigns in New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Missouri, West Virginia, Washington and Oregon. I visited New York
and Pennsylvania last week and will be in Texas, Washington, Oregon and
California next week. The New York City organization is really weak and is
- 6 -
simply not pushing the canvassing/telephone effort. They will not perform
above 30% of standard as things now stand. Pennsylvania is also behind due
to poor direction but is more correctable than New York. The problem in
Texas is a late start coupled with some friction among the leadership. At
present their canvass/telephone effort is in trouble, but I am hopeful that
we can still turn it around.
At this point there are only two ways to bolster these problem states. The
first is to exert maximum pressure from here on the state leadership to get
their job done: I have already begun to do this and you may well begin
receiving complaints. The other avenue is to divert resources from our
national staff into the problem states. Accordingly, the following steps are
now being taken:
I have assigned experienced fieldmen permanently to several
of the key states which are having difficulty in getting their
organizations firmed up. Two men will be helping Gordon Gooch
in New York; another two will be working exclusively in Penn-
sylvania. Also, I have assigned one fieldman to work with
Marvin Collins in California and two full time men to go to
Texas and work with Tom Reed and Peter O'Donnell. These men
will work with state, county and storefront organization leaders
to speed the canvassing efforts. All are good technicians who
passed the canvass kick off test in the field. They will spend
full time on the canvassing/telephone efforts and will be
responsible to move these programs at the local levels.
In two secondary battleground states - Missouri and West Virginia -
I have assigned Tom Crouch, one of the national fieldmen, respon-
sibility for getting their canvassing activities underway. He in
no way replaces Peter Sawers; but I felt that an extra push was
needed by a man with Tom's expertise, as we have had real problems
in these states. I have been quite impressed with Tom; his work
in setting up Mrs. Nixon's canvassing kick off visit to Queens
was particularly impressive and he will provide Sawers with strong
day to day support.
Additional recommendations for Washington and Oregon will follow
my visits this week.
Additional fieldmen from the voter bloc groups will be moved into the lagging
states during October, as necessary.
In summary, I am more than pleased with the progress we have made since July
in getting the campaign off the ground. Actually we've had fewer problems
than we might have expected. While we may not reach our canvassing goals
in all states, we nevertheless will have strong efforts in most states.
Furthermore, I expect to be spending more and more of 1701's resources in
those key states where we are having problems. While this takes resources
and management time away from some of the sure states, I feel it is worth-
while.
- 7 -
Despite these efforts, we will never reach our standard in states like
New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. Rather our goals in these states will be
to raise their performance from the present 30% of standard to a 60% level
as compared with other key states.
Finally, in spite of the above assessment, I'm sure that our efforts in the
states will be the best ever mounted in a national campaign and that they
will far surpass McGovern's vaunted ability in campaign organization.

FROM:
ANTHONY M. MCDONALD, JR.

SUBJECT:
Victory '72 Dinner Telecast
The attached script has been approved by the White House and is currently
being used as our working guide for the Victory '72 telecast on September
26, 1972. It does not differ substantially from the original that you
recently forwarded. The attached diagram indicates the new entrance
arrangement for the President and Mrs. Nixon.
Mrs. Nixon will not talk on volunteerism, and as you will note, we simply
lengthened the video tape of the convention highlights. The tape is
currently being edited in New York and moves very well.
I have asked Art Amolsch of the Press Department to prepare suggested copy
for you and have stressed to him the importance of exact timing. Any over-
run of the one hour time limit would incur great extra cost.
On the evening of the telecast, Mark Goode of the White House staff and I
would like the opportunity to give you a final briefing of the telecast at
your convenience. We will be in New York from Saturday until the telecast
working with the production company,
Thank you.

September 26, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Campaign Materials
MacGregor and Malek met September 22 to review the
current camapign materials situation. Lewis Dale, who
has been assigned as the man responsible for
campaign materials, received specific instructions.
The first being a weekly report of the status of
materials distributed.
Malek attibutes the materials problems to three
factors. First, there is 2 to 3 times the demand
for materials in 1972 than there was in 1968. Both
the increased support for the President and the
quality of the materials is cited. Second, the
amount allocated in the national budget for materials
is $2,200 (1968 - $2,000). The 1972 budget has been
increased to $2,400. Unlike 1968, the states have
not had the freedom in allocating their budgets to
materials. More is being spent on field organization.
However, Malek has now directed certain states
(Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana) to relocate some
of their budgets to materials.
The third reason for the materials problem ferthe most
serious. Over 80% of the scheduled materials have
been shipped to various requested headquarters within
the states. However, the State Chairmen, and other top
officials, do not realize they have arrived and do
not push for the distribution. In New York, for
example, the State CRP and GOP leadership claimed
they had not received materials. Lewis Dale and Peter
Dailey reviewed the shipping orders and receipts signed
by New York CRP officials. The result was that 80%
- 2 -
of all materials were in the state in the hands
of local CRP officials but the top officials
did not know this.
The solution will be that MacGregor will contact
each state chairman indicating the percentage
of materials in the state and that it is their
immediate responsibility to distribute them.
Last night Ed Cox stopped in my office to review
the Virginia Senate race. He asked me about the
campaign materials situation because he had been
receiving complaints. He asked for any description
of the situation that I had. I gave him a copy
of the Dale memorandum and an oral description
of the MacGregor-Malek actions.

COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
MEMORANDUM
September 25, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
Fred Malek
Jeb Magruder
FROM:
Lewis Dale
SUBJECT:
Promotional Materials
As of September 22nd, the four distribution centers had received
653 orders and had shipped 634, with backorders outstanding. The
statistics for the last reporting period (8/1-9/12) were drawn
from copies of 299 orders. We have now received an additional 289
orders and also have records of 386 backorder shipments.
These newly received records reveal that in the period 9/8-9/22, the
centers have received orders for 2,600,000 buttons, 2,500,000 bumper
strips, 3,675,000 brochures and several thousand other items. Over
3,500,000 buttons, 3,000,000 bumper strips and 3,970,000 brochures
have been shipped in this same period. The figure for brochures
does not include any of the 9,000,000 brochures shipped for canvassing
purposes in this period.
These figures indicate that supply is now outstripping demand. As of
September 20th, the states had $ 398,000 remaining in their promotional
materials budgets. We are now beginning to receive more checks to pay
for materials. I have advised Heinrich in New York that the states
might be willing to buy up to $200,000 worth of materials and that
production for that amount should concentrate on buttons, bumper strips,
posters and brochures. A memorandum from Magruder to Dailey on this
subject would put the necessary wheels in motion.
I was informed this morning of the Texas complaints, and would like to
add some background. Through the first two weeks of September, the
State CRP had submitted nine orders totalling less than $7,000.
According to our records, all the items on these orders have b in
shipped and received.
In the first week of September, I urged the State Materials Chairman to
order more materials. On September 14th, nine more orders totaling
some $51,000 were received by the Fullerton distribution center. These
Promotional Materials
September 25, 1972
Page 2
orders were all shipped, with a small number of backorders, by
September 20th. The principal items backordered are the Spanish-
Speaking brochure, which was late coming out of the approval stage;
the "Nixon/Agnew" bumper strip; and the "President Nixon" bumper strip.
I have attached a copy of the policy statement sent to the State
Materials Chairmen regarding backorders. This substitution policy
does not apply to Nixon/Agnew material.
I checked with Austin last week, regarding the President's visit.
The materials chairman informed me that both Austin and San Antonio
were in good shape, primarily because of a large shipment which we
had air freighted to them. I called George Willeford and Peter
O'Donnell today. Peter does not agree with my records, so I am
tracing seven of the last nine Texas orders. For your information,
we trace about five shipments per day. On one shipment out of fif-
teen, on the average, we discover some difficulty such as inexplicable
delay, failure to ship or lost shipment.
One of the major tasks facing us now is insuring that the State
Materials Chairmen are getting goods out to the local areas. An attach-
ment shows the number of orders each state has submitted. In a
populous state, a low number of orders is a good indication that
most of the materials are going to a central headquarters for distri-
bution. Pennsylvania's budget has been expended on 14 orders. New
York, on the other hand, has submitted 180 orders with about half of
its budget. The destinations for their materials are scattered all
over New York. I had hoped to be able to solve this problem by
visits to the problem states, but the Regional Directors are probably
the best means we have of enforcing proper distribution within the
states. I will discuss the problem states with the respective
Regional Directors.

SUBJECT:
Backorders
Substitution will be made on all button and bumper strip orders

RE:
Lack of Campaign Literature and Supplies
I don't want to sound like a broken record BUT I have gotten
many calls saying people just simply cannot find any bumper
stickers, pins, etc. in their area. Now this morning I had a
call from my brother Joe.
He said he hated to bother me because he knows I have nothing
to do with the Committee to Re-elect - but the suburban
committeemen of Cook County had asked him to call me. They
(the committeemen) are very upset because they have no
supplies - no literature - to push the President with. They
want everything they can get - bumper stickers, pins, banners,
literature - and they want to get busy.
It is rather shocking to keep hearing this since we have had a
committee in existence for such a long time and there has been
no doubt about who the candidate was going to be.
The other concern expressed by the committeemen is whether
Tom Houser (who has always been a Percy man) is really going
to push first and hardest for the President in this coming
election.

In order to get bumper stickers on the cars in our

Kickoff. Ken Rietz and his corps could organize to hit
parking lots, shopping centers, schools, business locations
and public parking areas.
In addition, I think the "Bumper Blitz" should probably be
an ongoing effort directed by Ken Rietz. His kids seem to

FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER In
On Friday, September 1, a meeting was held to discuss the
campaign materials situation at which time:
1. It was agreed that regular control reports would be established
to monitor materials performance. These reports will include
information on inventory levels, shipment performance, as well as
any. current or potential problems. The first report is due
Tuesday, September 5.
2. Lewis Dale indicated distribution of materials within states
is as serious, if not more of a problem, than our distribution
to the state. If this is true, we should communicate this to
the appropriate state people. Thus, I suggest that Lewis docu-
ment this assertion and prepare either a general release to
field chairmen or specific releases to problem areas. Obviously
your regional coordinators should be aware of any problems
uncovered by Lewis fact finding.
3. We agreed once again that 1730 is a priority; however, as you
know, we are continuing to have problems.
In addition to these points, it will be necessary for Lewis to
accumulate for the Nixon Library 6 copies of every campaign item
we have, as well as a full ensemble for both Haldeman and Ehrlichman.
He is aware of this and, while follow-up will probably not be neces-
sary, Bruce Miller will track.

Campaign Materials
As we discussed last night, one of the things that I was working
on before I moved was tracking the collection of campaign mate-
rials so that there would be a record preserved. Our efforts
have not been entirely satisfactory since we have delivered only
one complete package to Gordon Strachan and there were two in-
complete packages left in Jeb's office.
Now it has been requested that we have six complete packages of
everything preserved for the Presidential library and, clearly,
there will be requests at the end of the campaign from a number
of different people who save campaign memorabilia. I think that
we should ask that there be 25 complete sets assembled. These
sets might go to a 52nd distribution point, a point which may be
more significant than any of the other 51.

It was rather disturbing that on our recent trip to California
we failed to see one Nixon bumper strip, except for one on
Baul Presley's car, the Manager of the San Clemente Inn.
We've talked about this before, particularly about getting
them distributed in the primary states immediately, and
obviously this is not taking place If we're unable to even
find bumper strips in Orange County!
Therefore, Bob has requested that we get a concentrated
campaign going immediately to get out the President Nixon
bumper strips -- don't use the Reelect the President ones.
Bob feels this would be an excellent project for our young
people to hit parking lots on certain days, perhaps for
example, the 15th of September. As we've learned in the
past, we don't hand them out at rallies because people don't
put them on, they will only take them home and put them on
their mirrors.
Bob asked that you let him know what's being done on this by
Friday, September 8.

MEMORANDUM FOR H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
DICK MOORE M
The proposition that Democrats for Nixon are really
Democrats for America is absolutely sound, and I
thought the President's development of this theme
was extremely well received at the Connally dinner.
Nevertheless, I am a little concerned about the phrase
"Democrats for America" lest our opponents seize on
it and claim that Mr. Nixon is suggesting that any
well
Democrat who is not for Nixon is not for America.
They will be looking for any hook on which to base
the claim that the President is being divisive, and
if we overuse this phrase, we might just be giving
them such a hook, which we don't need to do. Over
the weekend I talked with three or four people who
share this concern.
Incidentally, I like buttons and placards which say
"Democrats for Nixon" and "Young Labor for Nixon"
because they mention the name of the "product".
"I'd walk a mile for a Camel" is a better slogan than
"I'd walk a mile for a good cigarette".

YOUNG DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON
Jonish sained state HHH have
We are young Jewish Democrats. We worked for Senator
statemen
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota in this year's Democratic
primaries. We supported Senator Hunphrey because we felt
his candidacy represented the best vehicle for carrying
out the programs we believed in.
We would have enthusiastically supported virtually any
of the other Democratic contenders. Yet, we cannot, as
Americans, as Democrats, or as Jews, support Senator
George McGovern. Accordingly, we are now supporting,
and urge our community to support, the effort to re-elect
President Nixon.
This has not been an easy decision to arrive at. One of
the reasons we worked for Senator Humphrey this past year,
was a desire to see Richard Nixon retired. But if the
Democratic Party is ever to return to the principles
and policies that made it the majority party of the
United States, then the McGovern candidacy must be repu-
diated as strongly as the Goldwater reactionaries were
repudiated by thinking Republicans in 1964.
Senator McGovern comes to us with a record of indecision
and indecisiveness. We do not trust his rhetoric or
his promises. He declares that he is now a domestic liberal.
But we remember that he voted with the Southern Demo-
cratic bloc in an effort to emasculate the historic
Civil Rights Act of 1964, that he voted for the racist
Byrd Amendment in May, 1968, and that he has voted con-
sistently (as recently as August 8, 1972) against meaning-
ful gun control legislation. What are his domestic
proposals? He has revised his tax - reform proposals
and welfare proposals until his most fervent supporters
can't tell what his current positions are. In 1971,
on the college campuses of America, he espoused the
whole array of liberal positions on drugs, abortion,
amnesty, and rights of homosexuals. And in 1972, he
suddenly began to reverse himself when the polls showed
public repugnance to several of his positions. Where
does he stand?
His foreign policy is only a little less confused. He
would slash our defense posture drastically, Yet he now
promises to keep a "residual" American military force
in Thailand. He voted for the Gulf of Tonkin resolution
in 1964, against repeal of Tonkin resolution in 1965
and 1966, and for Viet Nam appropriation bills until
1969, but he now tells us that the war has always been
immoral. He promises to have the POW's home 90 days
after his inauguration, but expects us to trust him
when we ask how he will do this.
As Jews, we are also alarmed by his inconsistent record
on issues of concern to the Jewish community. In recent
months he has begun to court the Jewish vote with promises
of support for Israel. But this can't change his stated
proposals of only a year or two ago. On March 3, 1971,
he suggested internationalizing Jerusalem and called on
Israel to withdraw from the Arab territories that she
occupied in self-defense. On July 20, 1970, he urged
Israel to pay "reparations" to the Palestinian people,
and said that the United States should forbid Israel's
use of American equipment over Arab territory.
One of his closest advisors, Rick Stearns, has signed
virulent anti-Israel ads in the New York Times and the
Washington Post. Yet when his own Jewish supporters
at the Democratic Convention demand Stearn's resignation,
the Senator refused (JTA, July 14, 1972) The same
Rick Stearns is now in California coordinating Senator
McGovern's western campaign.
Here at home, Senator McGovern has pushed for a racial
quota system which would destroy the merit system on
which American pluralistic democracy is founded:
Accordingly, we are supporting the President. Richard
Nixon has, to be sure, been far from perfect in his
performance as President. But he has shown courage
and consistency. He has ended the anachronistic
isolation of Communist China, has introduced the first
presidentially-sponsored family assistance plan in
our history, has appointed without a quota system
more minority group members and women to meaningful
Federal posts than any President in this century, and
has negotiated the historic SALT agreements with the
Russians.
It is easy to make promises. President Nixon has dealt
with welfare reform, disarmament, and domestic turmoil
with pragmatic innovative programs, He did not create
inflation or the Viet Nam War - he inherited them. We
all wish the war was over already. But we don't believe
George McGovern's promises or programs to end it. Yes,
he now says he will end the war. He also now says that
he will support Israel. A few weeks ago he was pledging
the same all out support to Senator Tom Eagleton.
President Nixon does not ask us to accept promises.
He has performed with expertise not only in the broad
spectrum of foreign and domestic affairs, but he has,
without brash promises or loud propoganda, been a firm
friend of Israel and the Jewish community here at home.
We are supporting the President. We urge you to join us.

Colson agrees with the headline but would replace the

The ad would be run by the local Re-Elect the President

Colson says Dailey's ad would get McGovern votes in Massa-

SUBJECT:
Countering McGovern's
Attack Strategy
The CBS Evening News adopted a new technique last night
(Monday, September 18) of intercutting what McGovern said
about drugs and what the President said to give the
appearance of a debate on this issue. In leading into this,
Cronkite said each man spoke at different places. He also
reported after this segment that this was not a face-to-face
debate, but comments voiced in different locales. However,
the overall appearance to the viewer was of a debate of the
kind which McGovern has been pressing the President to
accept.
In a lengthy conversation with Dan Rather, I have learned the
following:
1.
This inter-cutting technique is something which CBS
will seek to follow again for the purpose of
dramatizing the conflicting views of the candidates
when it is possible. They will seek to do this only
when the President and McGovern address the same
subject within the same 24-48 hour period. In order
to be fair, CBS will seek to emphasize before and
after such a segment that it was not an actual face-to-
face debate. CBS tried to put together such an
inter-cut package before on the contrasting Nixon-
McGovern views on the Vietnam War but gave it up
because CBS believed it unfair unless the comments
were those both candidates expressed within a
similar time frame.
Messrs. Colson

2.
ABC News was sufficiently impressed with the way
CBS put the inter-cut package together to be
tempted to try it for the Smith-Reasoner news show,
and if and when the occasion presents itself.
We should be, from this point on, acutely alert to the danger this
for
presents. It allows McGovern to piggy-back on comments by the
President, giving McGovern a free ride when otherwise what
McGovern says might be judged not newsworthy.
How do we meet this problem, particularly since it appears evident
to CBS and ABC that McGovern will seek to do this more and more
in the future once he learns in advance where the President is
scheduled to go with the prospect that he will make some kind of
remarks there? I suggest the following:
1.
That our news monitoring operation be put on immediate
alert to advise the President ahead of time, before any
this
such appearance, that McGovern has made some comments
tied to an expected Presidential event. The McGovern
comments will come either the evening before or the same
morning of the Presidential visit. A full text of any
questions McGovern poses should be immediately brought
to the President's attention.
2.
Since the President will be speaking after McGovern, his
remarks could be specifically tailored to hit hard at
McGovern's comments, thus making it clear in any inter-

As an alternative, the President can ignore the specific
McGovern charges when he speaks, thus making it far
more difficult to put together an inter-cut package.
On such occasions, instead, the President could speak
on a sufficiently high level about some other phase of
the problem, leaving it up to surrogates to take on the
specifics. The surrogates need not reply the same day
in instant retaliation as we have done in the past,
because their comments have the inevitable effect of
creating a news package of the kind which the networks
will be unable to ignore, even if the inter-cut debate
technique is not adopted. It might be wiser to reply two
or three days later with our own version which attacks
McGovern's views, but which winds up as a newsworthy
package on its own.
5.
Finally, we should say less in advance about Presidential
appearances to avoid tipping off McGovern.
The fundamental point we must keep firmly in mind is this: unless
we want it to appear as a debate which we believe the President
can win hands down, we should avoid putting the President in the
position where he either appears to "lose" the debate because he
either is unaware of what McGovern has just said, or because his
remarks are soft and flabby on the points McGovern has challenged
him to answer.
We could learn a lesson from the way CBS handled the story last
night. McGovern made his initial accusations in the form of questions
he demanded the President answer, on a Sunday afternoon.
McGovern's charges were ignored by the networks Sunday at 6:00 p. m.,
and again on the 11:00 p.m. shows because they were just not news-
worthy. However, they were dusted off and made part of a debate
a day later (Monday) when the President spoke about drugs before the
State Department Embassy drug officers. In this case, I believe the
President "won" this indirect debate, but unless we are exceedingly
careful we may lose the next one.

Attached are two internal staff memos concerning the college campaign
that I thought you would be interested in. The first supplies qualitative
information on the kind of success we are achieving and also comments
on the noticeable lack of McGovern activity. The second provides
some figures by campus on the number of volunteers being recruited.

SUBJECT:
The College Campaign
The campus recruitment effort is exceeding expectations at this point.
Reports on the first week of school in all sections of the country are
good. Reports in the Mid-West and West average 200-400 volunteers per
campus. The Northeast is running 100-300 per campus and, of course,
the South reports spectaculars ranging from 500 to 3,000 on a single
campus. Again, this is far and away better than usual Republican support,
and we have not yet begun a systematic canvass.
I have personally visited six campuses this week and have talked to staff
around the country who have been on over 100 different campuses. We are
finding little to no hostility from hard core elements. People who work-
ed for McGovern as volunteer staff during the primaries are "dropping
out." We have more recruitment tables up than he does, and at most
schools where we are in competition, we are getting more volunteers.
McGovern must definitely be planning a large college operation. He has
sent volumns of materials to many schools addressed just to the student
government. He has sent out mass mailings to student leaders. But he
has shown no real organization yet, There just isn't the McGovern
activity that there was in the Spring.
We feel that he has truly developed a large credibility gap. His support
on campus is "soft." If we can exploit his lack of credibility, and I
think we should make that a major thrust, I predict that we will win the
student vote.
Of course, we can also expect to win mock elections. These will come
easy in the South, be a problem in the Mid-West and West and be difficult
but done in California and the Northeast. We can easily predict 50 wins
across the country starting October 1. In short, there is a rosy picture.
But when McGovern sees his polls slipping among students, he will counter-
attack there and may be able to get his campus organization moving. Our
problem in that case will be the same as it is now - to follow up on and
involve our recruits.

SUBJECT:
College Campaign
Attached is a partial listing of Young Voters
for the President campus organizations. The
number of members on each campus reflect one
to five days effort at a membership table, and
are not indicative of the support we expect
subsequent to a systematic canvass. We feel
that anything over 100 members on a single
campus is an adequate beginning as it represents
a substantial increase over traditional support
for a Republican candidate.
More complete information will be available as
reports continue to come in. Currently, we
estimate that we have enlisted more than 35,000
college workers since schools began to open.
Many schools have still not opened.

SUBJECT:
McGovern's Appearance in Los Angeles, September 2622 26
McGovern made three appearances in Los Angeles. Our observer at all three was
L
of 23 year old reporter who has worked in television and print news. He has
extensive contacts within the L.A. Police Department and press corps and reports
strong rumors of mass demonstrations which could very easily turn violent since
SDS is participating.
McGovern's first appearance in L.A. was before a labor luncheon. He charac-
teristically arrived 30-40 minutes late and spoke before a packed house of 1,000-
1,200 people in a small room. Appearing on the platform with him were Sen.
Humphrey, Pat Brown and his kid, Jesse Unruh, assorted candidates for the Congress
and others. Senators Tunney and Cranston sent telegrams -- presumably because
they were in Washington to vote on legislation which McGovern missed.
The text of his remarks distributed before his speech was an attack on Dr. Stein.
But McGovern did not use that text. The advance work was described as "good"
given the short notice for the appearance.
McGovern reportedly looked "tired," Hubie looked "like Hubie," and may have
had on makeup. Hubie's remarks were "mild compared to what he said at the rally."
A cocktail party was held in conjunction with this appearance. Sen. McCarthy
was on the guest list but was not observed at the scene and perhaps did not show.
McGovern's next appearance was at a rally at Fairfax High School, located in
a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. Ninety per cent of the audience was
described as "young kids, although some senior citizens were bused in and placed
in the front rows. Held in a closed courtyard, the rally was packed at 2,000
people. Humphrey was introduced by a rabbi and in turn introduced McGoo.
-2-
According to our observer -- and press accounts -- the Humph was "really fired up."
The audience was quite receptive to the whole show but was perhaps more interested
in Humphrey than in McGovern. McGovern still appeared rather tired.
As a sidelight, it was noted that although Unruh was present at these two events, he
never spoke.
The day's activities concluded with a $250 a plate dinner at the Century Plaza Hotel.
Eight hundred to 900 people gathered along with many Hollywood stars. Dennis
Weaver was the M.C. McGovern looked rested for this dinner and may well have
taken a nap beforehand. An inordinate amount of time at the dinner was spent intro-
ducing all the local Democrats who had appeared. It appeared a very determined
effort was made to demonstrate that these guys weren't afraid to be seen with McGovern.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES FROM THE DAY'S APPEARANCES:
(1) The local McGovern press aides were woefully ill-informed on McGovern's schedule.
(2) The McGovern organization seemed to be functioning a trifle better on this jaunt
to California, but our observer, who had covered McGovern as a reporter on a previous
trip, said things "still seemed screwed up.
(3) Nobody ever mentioned Shriver. Perhaps an oversight, perhaps not.

Key McG advisers feel McG is on the defensive too much and not on
the attack against RN enough, writes Means, and are particularly upset
with McG TV ads, which "neither projects" the image of strong leader-
ship nor points out the flaws in the opposition. By contrast, Dems for
RN ads harshly attack McG for lack of credibility and indeciseveness
"the purpose isn't to build RN up, but to tear McG down. 11
Means says top McG strategists agree McG's image may be beyond
repair with some groups, so the best course may be to emphasize that
X
the other fellow is worse. Means says McG's camp is considering
producing new TV spots based on AFL-CIO film made last Jan, "which
depicts RN at his partisan worst. 11 Tho AFL won't release film, McG
men would like to imitate it. Means says McG men now realize that to
smoke RN out they' have to build a very hot bonfire.
"McG has a credibility gap, " writes Thimmesch, and as much as he
attacks RN, McG finds himself on the defensive. Nick doubts McG's
projected switch to 1/2 hr TV shows will help him as the trouble is McG
has already gained a reputation for shifting. McG's problem is that "for
better or worse, RN has been consistent, 11 and while he hasn't ended
war,
"he
did
suggest
in
'68.
that he'd turn the ground fighting over to
SVN and he's done that. 11 Thus, McG inconsistencies mean that the
finest TV shows aren't a guarantee the public will buy the real McG.
National Review Bulletin says McG is the candidate of the intellectuals,
a class which is, by and large, a "perversion". Instead of growing
naturally out of the community as did earlier intellectuals, US intellectuals are
"an elite outside the community and bitterly opposed to it, an alien elite. "
The US people, says NR, have come to realize that the intellectuals are
the drawing force behind McG, and thus, the real reason McG is so far
behind, is that the masses of voters "are trying to say that they reject
the way of life and thought embodied in the alienated intellectuals and
counterculture. "
Riesel writes that most observers have overlooked a preview of the
Presidential campaign, and of the old politics vs the new Rooney VS
Lowenstein. Lowenstein is so close to McG that, says Vic, he told Riesel
on the 2nd day of the convention that Eagleton would be the VP choice, while
Rooney is the archtype of the old labor ally. Thus, Meany pushed all the
buttons and labor went all out for Rooney, and the result was a Rooney win.
Thus, the McG-Lowenstein "politics of glamour, with imported Hollywood
stars, lost to the old grizzly precinct politics. "
