Weekly Attack Themes September 17-November 6, 1972
We must now decide our attack lines on a weekly basis for the
last seven weeks of the campaign. It is imperative that the weekly
lines or themes hit only those issues that are winners for us. The
attack T.V. commercials (by Democrats for Nixon) must blend in with our
weekly themes as well as our use of all other resources including the
thrust of the Counterattack Group. It is recommended that the follow-
ing schedule be adopted.
CREDIBILITY WEEK
(Capacity to Govern)
September 17-23, 1972-Credibility T.V. spots will run
The Main Points
1. The Eagleton Affair
2. Salinger Affair
3. Vacillation on
a. Farm parity
b. National defense
C. Marijuana
d. Abortion
e. Amnesty
f. Leaving troops in Southeast Asia
CONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY
CONFIDENTIAL EYES ONLY

4. McGovern's 1000% support -- what it means
5. McGovern's staff
6. McGovern's capacity to govern
DEFENSE WEEK
September 24-30, 1972, and October 15-21, 1972
Defense T.V. spots will run
The Main Points
1. 1.8 million will be unemployed.
2. The Middle East will be stripped of American defenses (Israel).
3. White Flag of Surrender.
4. America -- second class power
5. Invite disaster.
6. Can't negotiate from weakness.
The Plan
<
1. This is "Laird Week (s) He will have a major attack press conference
on Monday of the week and then will hit at least one major media area
each day in places that would be hit the hardest by McGovern's defense
reduction.
2. Surrogates, Republican members of Congress, other Republican candidates
for Congress, local spokesmen and paid media ads will all be geared
to bombard on this issue during the critical week (s).
WELFARE WEEK
October 1-8, 1972, and October 22-28, 1972
Welfare T.V. spots will run
The Main Points
1. 7 to 12 million additional people will go on welfare in the event
McGovern's welfare plan is adopted.
2. The McGovern welfare plan, together with his other wild programs
will increase the working man's taxes.
3. Work Ethic VS. Welfare Ethic.
CONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY
CONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY
-3-
4. The plan is not well thought through.
5. McGovern keeps changing on welfare.
HIGH TAXES WEEK
October 8-14, 1972
The Main Points
1. McGovern's proposals mean high taxes for the working man.
2. We will put together all of the McGovern proposals together with the
proposals in the Democrat platform, accent our attack on the way out
ones and charge that these will double everyone's taxes.
THE LAST WEEK
Welfare (High Taxes) and Defense
October 20-November 6, 1972
Credibility, welfare, and defense T.V. spots will run.
During the last week of the campaign we should return to our
basic themes of welfare, high taxes, defense and credibility.
GENERAL
Our positive attack will have a different issue each week for
the seven weeks beginning September 17, 1972.
Our attack week will normally consist of the following elements:
1. A positive statement on the particular issue relating the President's
record and/or position by an administration spokesman.
2. A major attack on McGovern on the week's issue by a leading adminis-
tration spokesman. He may be toured around the country hitting key
cities.
3. Other surrogates, Republican members of Congress and administration
spokesman will be programmed to attack as they go about the country.
4. When our paid media campaign starts we will coordinate the subject
matter of our attack commercials with the attack issue of the week.
5. Local spokesmen will make public statements in communities McGovern
plans to visit prior to his arrival raising questions on the weekly
issue. Hopefully, the local press and the public will raise the
questions to McGovern.
CONFIDENTIAL, EYES ONLY
-4-
6. Our P.R. and press departments will promote the weekly issue to the
media during such time period.
The following assignments will be made in connection with each
weekly attack:
1. Research of the subject matter
2. Writing
a. The positive statement on such issue with appropriate news release
and forum.
b. The major attack (s) on such McGovern issue together with appro-
priate news release (s) and news conference.
c. Speech inserts and talking papers for other surrogates, Republi-
can members of Congress.
d. Statements for local spokesmen.
3. Coordination of paid media ads with weekly issue.
4. Contact local spokesmen to make appropriate statement prior to a
McGovern visit.
5. P.R. and press departments to promote. the weekly issue to the media.
We will coordinate our Democrats for Nixon T.V. attack commercials
as to subject matter with each week's attack theme. The emphasis of our
counterattack will, also, be coordinated with each week's attack theme.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the above action plan be adopted.

September 18, 1972/SUGGESTED LETTER
FROM SENATOR TOWER'S STAFF
Dear
Our nation needs responsible leadership in the U. S. Senate
to meet the problems and challenges that confront us.
I've known John Tower for a long time, and I have always considered
him to be an articulate, effective spokesman for Texas. He has
proven himself to be one of the Senate's leading authorities on
economic policy and national defense.
I commend Senator Tower to you as a man in whom I have the utmost
confidence. I hopt that you will support his re-election on
November 7.
Sincerely,
Richard M. Nixon

Vice-Presidential Appearances
This is in response to your inquiry of those places where we
believe appearances by the Vice-President will be most helpful
and also those places where an appearance by the Vice-President
would not necessarily aid the Presidential campaign. We have
divided our suggestions into two categories for each state:
1. Those areas which should be covered on a
priority basis.
2. Those areas where an appearance would not
necessarily help the ticket.
The Vice-President's approval rating in Alabama is very high and
a joint appearance with Red Blount would be very helpful. While
we do not have data on other deep south states, we believe that
the Vice-President is very popular throughout this region and
joint appearances with other candidates would also be useful.
Please check with Clark MacGregor before scheduling any Atlanta
appearances for the Vice President.
The places shown on the attached list include large geographical
areas based on television media markets. Important parts of these
areas are listed where appropriate.

To help relieve the burden of property taxes, President

severely restricting your ability to transfer land to
your children (inheritance tax), eliminating the investment
credit, etc. His tax plan could be devastating to us.
In December 1971, despite overwhelming criticism President
Nixon nominated Earl Butz to be Secretary of Agriculture.
Secretary Butz has proven the President's decision to be
a wise one, for he has spoken out more forcefully and acted
more aggressively than any Secretary of Agriculture in
recent history.

taking office, specifically for you as a (INSERT SPECIFIC CROP

Isn't it important to keep in office an Administration that is

That's why we need your support to re-elect President Nixon on
November 7th. Use the volunteer card enclosed for your

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

MR. BRUCE KEHRLY
FROM:
FREDERIC V. MALEK
7m
SUBJECT:
Special Ballot Organization - Canada
The National Observer quotation regarding our intent to establish
a volunteer committee in Canada is correct. The statement was made
by Richard McAdoo who, as Director of Special Ballots, is respon-
sible for directing the overseas absentee voting effort. The
State Department's figures showed 245, 564 Americans residing in
Canada at the end of FY 1971.
The statement that we are interested in "draft evaders" is wholly
inaccurate, and Mr. McAdoo did not say that we were. We do not
intend to solicit absentee votes from this group. Our target voters
among overseas citizens are primarily in the business and professional
community.
Volunteers are presently working on an independent basis in Canada
to identify favorable voters and provide them with absentee ballot
applications. To date this effort has been operating without formal
leadership as we have been unsuccessful in obtaining a volunteer
"country" chairman. We expect to make a formal announcement of a
Chairman for Canada by the end of the week.
Please let me know if you need anything further.

As you know, Wave III is completed and Bob Teeter and his staff
are currently reviewing the data. Next week they plan to brief the
Vice President and his staff on results of Wave III and will include
in this briefing locations where the Vice President should consider
in his scheduling of campaign activities. This briefing will supplant
any memo on this subject.
Bob Teeter has communicated this to Dwight Chapin today; thus,
he is aware of our plans.
If you have any questions, I suggest you contact Bob Teeter directly.

Mr. Harry S. Dent
Special Counsel to the President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Dent:
I know that you are very busy now with the campaign and I am
certain that you are aware of the fact that for the first
time the Jewish vote is a factor in this election.
Notwithstanding statements made by Jewish organizations that
never issued statements when Jewish leaders endorsed Democ-
ratic candidates, the feeling of support for this Administration
and for the re-election of the President is rather strong.
I found that the following issues are important to the Jewish
community:
a. Israel
b. Black anti-Semitism
C. Quota system and its dangers for the
Jewish community.
d. The Lindsey Administration
e. The Forest Hills Housing Project
You will have noticed that the Democratic candidate has appeared
before many Jewish groups and audiences. Up to this moment,
the President has not addressed one Jewish audience. May I
respectfully suggest that it is very important for the campaign
that such a meeting be held. It should not be a small meeting.
It should be an address before a large audience.
Sincerely yours,

PRESENT: Barrick, Dailey, Evans, Jones, LaRue, MacGregor
Magruder, Malek, Nunn, Odle, Reisner, Stans, Strachan
1) Malek/Jones are to instruct the states to begin to take
costs of campaign materials out of their state budgets as
they approach their quotas.
2) Fvans is determining whether it is lawful for McGovern
to charge 150% of first class air fare to reporters on his
campaign plane. If it is legal, the Vice Presidential plane

3) LaRue and Nunn are to draft approximately 12 individualized
letters for MacGregor's signature to state campaign chairmen
in the states where fund-raising efforts are behind. These
letters will ask the chairmen to make certain the finance
chairmen meet their quotas. MacGregor will follow up with
telephone calls, and personal visits if necessary.
MacGregor will also telephone Governor Ogilvie, Claude
Jasper, Governor Knowles, and Governor Love with respect to
the fund-raising effort in their states.
4) Nunn needs a faster response to requests of the Scheduling
Department for fund-raising dinner and meeting speakers. Porter
will meet with Nunn to get this resolved.
6) MacGregor will tell Anne Armstrong that if she collects
contributions for the Finance Committee in the amount of
$30,000, the Committee will give Armstrong $40,000 for her
proposed bus tour.
7) Malek and Magruder are to work with Evans in finding and
then suggesting to the Budget Committee a suitable alternative

Signatures for Get-Out-the-Vote Telegram
It is my strong feeling that the function of a get-out-the-vote
telegram is to inform a favorable voter of the date that the
election is to be held. It is not to persuade.
Therefore, any signature which may in any way cause the
individual to reflect upon his vote is a negative. I strongly
urge Clark MacGregor as National Director of The Committee for
the Re-election of the President to sign all Republican get-
out-the-vote telegrams and that John Connally as Director of
Democrats for Nixon sign all Democratic get-out-the-vote
telegrams.

Republican "Get Out The Vote Telegram"
The "Get Out the Vote Telegram" is our last firm opportunity to
contact the voters for the President in the nine key states.
We: anticipate that the telegram mailing should increase our vote
by 3-1/2% to 8-1/2%.
The entire ensemble is scheduled for delivery on November 2. A
five cent precancelled stamp will be used for added personalization.
The mailing will go out at the third class bulk rate.
Of the nine key states we are working, six have the party identified;
whereas, three do not register by party. TAB A shows the six party
states, with the number of Republican households in our data base.
A summary of the states' signators is shown in TAB B. The use of
the listed signators is subject to their copy approval, and naturally,
our final review.
The suggested Telegram envelope format is attached as TAB C. This
concept was effectively used as tests in the Florida and California
primaries. The paper for the Telegram is attached as TAB D. The
copy for the regular Republican Telegram is attached as TAB E.
The copy for the older American Republican Telegram is attached as

MEMORANDUM
September 25, 1972
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
E. D. FAILOR
ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
During the last week an informal task force has met to put
together a proposed plan for our election night activities
November 7. The basic purpose of election night in our view
is twofold: first, to influence, insofar as possible, states
in the West which are still voting as the networks are
beginning their evening coverage, and, second, to provide
a proper setting where White House, RNC, and 1701 staff,
plus the major contributors and VIPs, may gather to honor
the President's victory.
The most important purpose, of course, is to influence the
vote in the West, and this can be done by having "heavy
hitters" (e.g., our surrogates, celebrities, pollsters,
strategists, etc.) present at the election night headquarters
and available to the networks so that they will choose in the
early hours to focus away from their studios to our election
headquarters. In other words, we'll attempt alternate pro-
gramming in much the same fashion we did at the convention.
For example:
We will have double systems for obtaining voting results
ahead of the networks for the Presidency, key Senate and
Congressional races, and races for Governor.
We will insure the presence of the TV nets at our hotel
and develop a good relationship with them. We may need
to secure the assistance of someone like Fred Rhinestein
or Mark Goode in this connection.
We will think through the proper approach to input "heavy
hitters" who will be interviewed on TV in such a way to
translate a Presidential landslide into votes for Senate,
Congress and Governorships.
We will have present our campaign strategists, pollsters,
and other campaign staff to "help" the TV people "analyze"
the early returns and to make available more up-to-date
information than the nets have.
Writers will be present to write up cards as needed for those
interviewed so they 11 be properly inputed. Some cards will
be prepared ahead of time.
In conjunction with the finance people, we will use the
VIP rooms to hold our "heavy hitters. "
The election night task force would be headed by Ed Failor as
chairman and Rob Odle as project manager. Lang Washburn will
represent the Finance Committee; Bart Porter will be responsible
for surrogates, spokesmen, and celebrities; Mike Schrauth has
been assigned by Ron Walker as White House liaison; Manyon
Millican will be responsible for the tracking of voting results;
and Stan Anderson will head up the influencing the vote project.
Later, some key people such as Mark Goode and possibly Fred
Rhinestein can be asked to assist.
Subject to approval, we have reserved the entire second and fourth
floors of the Statler Hilton Hotel in Washington for our use on
election night. We have also reserved all the major suites in
the hotel on a tentative basis. A second floor plan is attached.
The Presidential Ballroom, Congressional Room, and Senate Room
would be all used together as the main gathering room for invited
guests. All the visuals and charts would be set up behind a stage
on the L Street side of the Presidential Ballroom. Network
cameras would focus on the stage from the ballroom floor and
perhaps pool cameras could be set up in the two projection rooms
overlooking the ballroom. We propose that cash hars (to keep
costs and heavy drinking down) be set up in the Senate Room
(out of the cameras' view). Soft drinks would be free.
The Continental Room would function as a television interview
room and be set up living room style. The Exhibit Galleries
would be the press room.
-2-
The K Street side of the second floor would be secured for VIPs
and key staff. The Federal Room, Foyer No. 2, and South American
Room would be set up club room style (groups of comfortable lounge
chairs and cocktail tables, soft lamps instead of overhead lighting,
potted plants and flowers, complimentary liquor and hot hors d'oeuvres.
The South American Room would be basically for the large contributors
and the other two rooms for our surrogates, Cabinet, senior White
House staff, prominent celebrities and athletes, etc.
We would attempt to make these three rooms as comfortable and
enjoyable as possible so as to confine our heavy hitters in them
(as opposed to private suites), thus making them instantly
available to be inputed and to go to the interview room, press
room, or ballroom floor for televised interviews. Closed circuit
television in the VIP rooms would allow the occupants to view what
was happening on the charts in the ballroom. Color televisions
would be located throughout the rooms for network viewing.
The Pan-American Room and the state rooms along K Street would be
reserved for the Failor/Anderson/Millican tracking operation and
for staff offices as needed.
The floor above the second floor where these activities would take
place is the fourth floor (there is no third) and this floor,
consisting of suites, sleeping rooms, and hotel offices, would
be reserved for senior White House and Administration officials
who require private rooms, and for those contributors coming from
out of town. In addition, rooms would be reserved for staff
members who need to change clothes, wash, etc. Having virtually
all of our activities on two contiguous floors avoids the problem
of tied-up elevators and is of great assistance from a security
standpoint.
Admission would be by invitation only and enclosed with the invitation
would be a small pin to be worn in one's lapel or on one's dress
which would be the only valid admission credential for that evening;
one color pin would entitle its wearer to admission to all parts
of the second floor and another color would restrict the person
to the main ballroom area.
Invitations would be extended to the White House staff and their
spouses, RNC staff and their spouses, 1701/1730 staff and volunteers
and spouses, and the top 25-50 D. C. Re-elect and GOP officials,
plus, of course, our major contributors, spokesmen, surrogates,
celebrities, athletes, etc. We would not invite Nixon state chairmen
since we would not want to encourage them to leave their states early
on election day to come to Washington. We can make up for that at
the Inaugural. We would make certain to invite leading Republican
members of Congress and have a large percentage of young people
and minorities present.
-3-
In terms of the program in the ballroom, we would break to some
degree with the tradition of everyone standing around waiting
for election results. For example, the program could consist of:
Selected dignitaries speaking to the gathering on issues
key to the Western states and doing it within the context
of Nixon record and the next four years. These remarks
should not be off-the-cuff. They should be programmed,
thought out, and well delivered.
Entertainment politically tinged to reinforce key issues
to the degree that this is possible. For example, Sammy
Davis, Jr., singing and talking about the "new beginning"
which the President offers.
This program of speakers and entertainment should go in several
cycles; a cycle consisting of, for example, 15-20 minutes of
political speeches followed by 20-30 minutes of entertainment.
Then there would be a break of 45 minutes or so at which point
attention would focus on election returns. In suggesting such
a cycle, it is assumed that people are really interested in
returns at basically two points: initially when the first numbers
are available and then as the data becomes sufficient for pro-
jection.
In between these two points in time - unless a state is very
close -- the average person gets bored watching more of the same.
Obviously, the planning of such cycles should be based on the
need to impact on the Western states as well as the likely timing
of returns from those states where returns are available.
Responsibilities for election night would be assigned as follows:
Ballroom decorations, stage, platform - Bart Porter
Ballroom entertainment and program - Ed Failor/Bart Porter/Bruce Miller
Ballroom visuals, charts, etc. --- Ed Failor/Manyon Millican
Black Participation Paul Jones/Ed Failor

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MAC GREGOR
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
GLENN J. SEDAM, JR.

SUBJECT:
Senator Goldwater' Request For An Airplane
In a letter to you dated September 20th, Senator Goldwater states
that he has leased a. Sabreliner for use in campaigning until Nov-
ember 7th. He states in his letter that "Back in July I was given
the go ahead to do this and now that has been accomplished".
I know of no "go ahead" being given to Senator Goldwater to obtain
his own airplane. His Administrative Assistant, Leonard Killgore,
came to my office last week and explained it all to me for the first
time. The proposed lease would work as follows:
1. Senator Goldwater personally will be the lessee of
a Sabreliner Model 60 from Western Leasing in Van Nuys,
California.
2. He will use the airplane to campaign for the President.
When he does so, he will bill us at $500.00 per hour
for the time the aircraft was used for the purpose
of campaigning.
3.
The $10,000 he is requesting now is, as I understand
it, to be an advance by us toward anticipated billings
to us for the hours flown on our behalf. Total billings,
Killgore projects, will be approximately $50,000.
4.
The aircraft will be available to us for use by other
surrogates when not being used by Senator Goldwater.
Killgore projects that availability to be approximately
40% of the time.
5.
When the Senator flies on behalf of other senatorial
candidates, that portion will be paid for by the Sen-
atorial Campaign Committee.
The Honorable Clark MacGregor
September 25, 1972
Page 2
My Evaluation Of The Cost
Assuming arguendo we were to provide an airplane for Senator Goldwater's
travels, a price of $500.00 for a Sabreliner is very reasonable. A
Sabreliner carries approximately eight passengers and would normally
cost more than $750.00 per hour to charter. However, Sabreliners are
not generally available for charter. They are a very expensive air-
plane used by corporate flight departments. I know of no air taxi
company that has one available for charter. A Lear jet which holds
six passengers costs us approximately $600.00 per hour. A Falcon
which is a little larger than a Lear (carries seven to nine passengers)
costs $900.00 per hour. We are frequently able to obtain Falcons for
$750.00 per hour. Therefore, $500.00 per hour for a Sabreliner, which
is considered by many to be the best and safest executive aircraft in
the air, is abundantly reasonable.
Conclusion and Recommendation
While the Senator only has a handful of appearances scheduled by the
CRP, on almost every appearance he makes he speaks on behalf of the
President's candidacy. In deference to a previous Presidential can-
didate, it is recommended that we agree to share in the lease of the
aircraft as outlined above, but only if we are assured of the use of
the aircraft for Secretary Schulz, et al. for at least 50% of the time.
To accomplish this Senator Goldwater's administrative assistant would
have to agree to work closely with me so that we could be sure to have
control of the aircraft for our share of the time.

Dear Clark:
In order to meet the campaign schedule that I have from
now until November the 7th, a Sabreliner Model 60 has
been leased for this purpose. Back in July I was given
the go ahead to do this and now that has been accomplished.
Therefore, the price involved is $500 per flight hour, which
is an unbelievably low price. This airplane will be avail-
able for your use and scheduling of other surrogates, which
was agreed upon originally.
Inasmuch as today is the beginning of my tour for the Presi-
dent, it would be greatly appreciated if you would authorize
the proper person to issue the first payment for this leas-
ing which is due today. The payment of $10,000 will cover
the initial downpayment and an accounting will be made to
the appropriate person weekly and additional funds will be
asked for when needed.
For your further information, any flying time which will
be for the Senatorial Campaign Committee will be paid for
by that Committee.
Many thanks for your continued help.
With best wishes,

MEHORANDUM FOR STATE CHAIRMEN
FROM:
ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
R.C.O.
SUBJECT: Security Measures
As you may have read, a campaign facility in California was
the recent victim of an arsonist. It is possible that some
storefronts in your state will also become targets for
demonstrations or incidents similar to California's experience.
While it is almost impossible to predict or prevent a spontaneous
incident, the following precautions are suggested:
1) Require positive identification (e.g., a driver's license)
of all unknown persons who volunteer to work. A guest register
is also helpful.
2) Local police (including campus police when appropriate)
should be notified of the existence of a storefront and its
hours. The police should also be given the name and the
phone number of the person(s) to be contacted. Someone should
be designated as responsible on a 24-hour basis. Close liaison
with local police should be developed. The police should also
be asked to provide information regarding their recommended
procedures for bomb threats and suspicious packages.
3) Call collect Stephen B. King, Director of Security for the
National Committee, immediately upon learning of any incident,
actual or potential. His office number is 202/ 333-6120.
Steve's home number is 703/ 360-5642.
4) Consideration should be given to contingencies in the instance
of petitioning demonstrators, a confrontation inside the facility,
etc. Who will meet with demonstrators, receive petitions, etc.?
One or two demonstrators could be permitted in a facility if they
demand it and it seems appropriate. Police, of course, should
handle any serious problem within their jurisdiction (street,
sidewalk). Careful planning could avoid incidents or complaints
to the police.
5) None of the above should preclude you or any office
manager from making arrangements on an individual need basis;
e.g., providing guards at night and/or day, installation of
alarm systems, etc. The expense, of course, must be borne
locally. The Wackenhut Corporation, a private security firm,
has offered to provide guards, etc., at discounted costs.
Further information may be obtained by calling Steve King.
Please contact Steve King if you have any questions or if
he can be of assistance.

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 $394,000 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 been
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

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.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
KEN RIETZ
FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
GEORGE GORTON
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.

SUGGESTED PROGRAM TO REPLACE "A NIGHT FOR THE PRESIDENT"
"HOST FOR THE PRESIDENT"
Executive Director:
C. Langhorne Washburn
A Chairman or Chairwoman to be appointed in each of the 50 states
to be exclusively responsible for "Host for the President."
Prospective Hosts:
National Committeeman of the Party.
National Committeewoman of the Republican Party.
State Chairmen of the Republican Party.
All appointed members of the Republican National
Finance Committee.
Finance Chairmen for the Finance Committee to
Re-elect the President.
Regional Chairmen for the Finance Committee to
Re-elect the President.
All moderate size and major contributors.
All other Republican Party leadership past and
present, including leaders in the Womens'
Organizations, ethnics, special groups, Youth,
etc.
Any responsible citizen, Democrat or Republican
who believes he can host a party that will
collect a few dollars for the campaign.
The pitch:
"Mrs. Smith, I am calling you to see if you would
accept the honor of hosting a party for the President. =
The obvious answer is yes. If we are reasonably careful
in our selection you then proceed to sell the program,
pointing out that they will receive a formal certificate
suitable for framing that commissions them "Host for
the President.
The plan is so simple that you should have no difficulty
with anyone over the few details involved. Inform your
newly acquired. host that a small package will be mailed
immediately with the few materials required for the
fund-raising affair.
The evening of October 17 multiple parties to be hosted
by supporters of the President, preferably in their homes;
or clubs and hotels - if the size of the crowd and the
wish of the host demands.
No minimum - no maximum.
All checks be made payable to the Finance Committee
to Re-elect the President and each contribution to be
accompanied by a completed pledge card, copy attached.
Receipts will be forwarded to the individuals by the
Finance Committee to Re-elect the President in the usual
manner.
All funds to be mailed at the close of the party the
evening of October 17 to the Finance Committee to Re-elect
the President, Washington, D. C., and envelopes to be
supplied in the package with the host.
The host will complete a pledge card for the cost of
the party, and this amount will be recorded as a contribution
by the host.
50% of the proceeds to be returned to the Republican
County Committee or City Republican Committee, based on
the residence of the host, as soon as possible after
October 17 so that the Party may use its share of the funds
for election activities.
As soon as the program is agreed upon and that must be
almost immediately if it's going to be successful, following
steps should be taken:
1. The Committee for the Re-election of the
President would notify their entire organization
across the Nation of the event and ask them
to cooperate with any requests they may receive
from either the Finance Organization to re-elect
the President or the Republican Party Finance
Organization in seeking hosts for the party.
2. The Republican National Committee would
get out a mailing to its entire organization
in endorsing the Host for the President
porgram asking their political organization
to assist the State Republican finance
groups in their activity.
3. The Finance Committee to Re-elect the
President and the National Republican
Finance Committee would activate their
respective groups to begin setting up host
operations throughout the Nation immediately.

ADVANCE
The principal activity of the Advance Office last week was the
September 16, 1972, Canvass Kick-Off. The Committee's advance-
men performed in an outstanding manner and contributed in a
very major way to the success of the canvasses. The Advance
Office's responsibilities were defined to include developing
site schedules for the surrogates and moving the surrogates.
Since the schedule of cities and surrogates was not in final
form until last weekend, the Tour Desk and other personnel in
the Advance Office at 1701 did an excellent job of making travel
arrangements for the principals. The advancemen had an in-depth
working knowledge of local press, the store fronts, and volunteer
recruitment efforts. If any of these three areas had fallen
below acceptable standards, the Advance Office would have recom-
mended withdrawing a surrogate in order to avoid embarrassment
for the surrogate and the Committee. This step did not have to
be taken in any city. Without exception, all of the surrogates
were pleased with the way they were moved by the advancemen.
Obviously, the Canvass Kick-Off was a joint effort by several
areas of the Committee. The Canvass Kick-Off was a major test
of the Advance Office's ability to perform effectively.
In addition to the Canvass Kick-Off, an additional ten events
were advanced last week.
AGRICULTURE
1. Primary focus continued on the grain sale to Russia. McGovern
and his Congressional supporters are working the issue hard. Some
USDA officials have not handled the situation as well as we would
like, particularly when they have talked to the press; so the
charges have probably helped McGovern, at least somewhat in some
areas. We should attempt to have Secretary Butz make an
appearance - perhaps in the Texas panhandle to counter the McGovern
attack. Butz has countered quite well nationally, but he can get
much better press in the Midwest than he can from his desk here in
Washington.
2. McGovern made a major farm policy address at the world
plowing matches in Minnesota. He is not yet persuading many
farmers to join him, but he is working hard at it, spending
more time on his farm campaign than we had expected.
BLACK
We worked with the Transient Voter Bloc on their European Program
to deliver Sammy Davis, Jr. at a Paris reception. Davis has been
reached in Paris and has agreed to the event.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
We contacted Black State Chairmen and key contacts for each to
link up with Canvass Kick-Off efforts. Reports from field staff
on Black participation were satisfactory.
We formalized a National Black Women and Black Youth Committee.
We convened a meeting of key Black D. .C. Republicans and Democrats
on Sunday (Sept. 17). Included in the group were disenchanted
Black Democrats and supportive Independents. The group, numbering
50-60 persons, exchanged political ideas for winning the Black
Democrat and Independent support and strengthening the Republican
ranks around the Nation.
We attained and achieved endorsements of 265 leaders of a group
of Black athletes. Public endorsement is forthcoming by several.
We met with Minority Contractors representative and gained
commitment for endorsements.
Continual mass mailings to Black State Chairmen, June 10 Dinner
participants, Black delegates/alternates and Black surrogates.
Continual efforts to feed promotional materials through Nixon
State Chairmen's offices to be distributed to Black Team members.
CITIZENS
The assistant field directors have maintained constant contact
with our national chairmen. National chairmen were encouraged
to contact state chairmen and place emphasis on the appointment
of five state vice chairmen in every state for each committee.
Our first news letter was mailed to all national committee members
(390).
A meeting was held with Tony McDonald to make preliminary arrange-
ments for a press conference in Washington, D. C. to announce
the overall Citizens effort. Participants will include Mr.
MacGregor, Mr. Shearer, and five or six of our national Citizens
Committee Chairmen. Plans are then to announce the 29 individual
committees we have organized on a one-a-day basis. The announce-
ment will be made by the national chairman of the committee and
one of our field directors in the home area of the national chair-
man. Simultaneous announcements will be made by the 13 members of
the national committee in their home area as well as here in
Washington.

A special project "Telephone Blitz" mailer has been mailed to all
members of our national committees giving them instructions on
how to encourage and assist all of their state chairmen and
state vice chairmen to organize "Telephone Blitzes" in their
home areas for four hours with 5 to 10 recruited volunteers to
contact members of their own professional or interest group to
volunteer to work for the re-election of the President.
Our offices have telephoned over 400 of our state chairmen
during the past ten days to encourage the appointment of five
vice chairmen immediately, to encourage a liaison with the
state Nixon Citizens Director, and to answer any questions
our chairmen have. This will continue on an accelerated basis
until all state chairmen are contacted and all vice chairmen are
appointed.
Meetings of our committee state chairmen, state Nixon staff, and
our field staff have been held in several states, with addi-
tional meetings scheduled for several more states during the
next few weeks.
The biographies of all state chairmen appointed to date have
been forwarded to the state Nixon organization in each state for
use by the Nixon State Director to announce the formation of
each Citizens Committee in the state and the appointment of the
state chairman.
Our field directors have been organizing and holding the state-
wide meetings of our chairmen in many states.
Individual clearances have been obtained on each of our state
chairmen from the Nixon Director or his representative.
Volunteer recruitment continues by our 29 committees in all 50
states plus D. C. All names of volunteers recruited are mailed
to our Nixon contact in each state three times a week to be
distributed to the local Nixon organization so all volunteers we
recruit will be put to work. All national committeemen, state
chairmen, and volunteers are now being placed on a computer at
the request of and expense of the Finance Committee. This will
allow us rapid dissemination of volunteers to a specific geo-
graphic location upon request via Zip Code.
We have recruited or used contacts who recruited part-time or
full-time personnel to assist in the telephone center program
for Dick Shriver in the following areas: New York, New York City,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas.
We arranged speaking events for Ed Cox in Boston, Massachusetts,
and St. Clair Shores, Michigan. We are working on four other
locations.

LAWYERS
The Target States of Illinois, Maryland, Connecticut, Ohio,
New York, and California have well organized and fully implemented
Lawyers Committees. Telephone campaigns are being conducted in
Illinois, Maryland and New York. In all cases, volunteers are
being carefully directed into storefront and telephone operations.
With the assistance of two volunteers, we have developed law
student chapters of Law Students for the President on 30 law
school campuses. In addition, 15 regional directors have been
appointed who are responsible for the 50 states. Volunteers
are being organized and the names will be forwarded directly
to state telephone and canvassing committees.
SPANISH SPEAKING
1. Alex Armendariz discussed campaign objectives, materials and
problems with field people and key community persons in Texas,
California, and New York.
2. Adrian Marin met with Spanish-speaking state and community
leadership in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
and Virginia.
3. Illinois (Chicago) opened four Spanish-speaking storefronts
and two Spanish/Anglo storefronts. Spanish-speaking storefronts
now in operation in Dallas and San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
4. Letter developed on Cesar Chavez.
5. Petition to the President disseminated to all Spanish-
speaking State Chairmen and field people.
6. Plans underway to get the Vice President to attend the Texas
Spanish-speaking campaign kickoff.
7. Appointment of Spanish-speaking State Chairman for Oregon.
VETERANS
Field staff contacted and directed the veterans state chairmen
to provide each storefront and/or telephone center in their state
with veteran coordinators.

SUBJECT:
Governor Races
With the primaries concluded and the President doing so well,
the governor races are looking better. Of the 18 governorships
up this year, the Republicans should win three, are favored
in five, and are faced with two extremely close races. The
Democrats should win three and are favored in five. Mexican
standoff.
Because of the potential Presidential vote in most states,
three races that appeared to be extremely close may now be
considered Republican favored (Missouri, New Hampshire,
North Dakota), two of which are Democrat seats.

1972 Governor Races
Arkansas: Gov. Dale Bumpers (D) should win, but the mood
within the state appears to be changing some. A recent
poll indicates that 93% of the people would vote for the man
not the Party. However, Len Blaylock (R) not getting money
for media exposure and his name recognition remains low.
Delaware: GOV. R. W. Peterson (R) is campaigning hard
and unifying the GOP but faced with a potentially close
race. Democrat Sherman Tribbitt may not prove to be a
strong candidate. Republican should win.
Illinois: Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie (R) was trailing
Daniel Walker by a two to one margin after a March
primary but he has increased and gained strength. This
will be very close.
Indiana: Republican Otis "Doc" Bowen is trailing but
closing the gap. Democrat ex-Governor Matthew Welsh
has the advantage of an early lead and good name
recognition. Democrat is favored.
Iowa: Gov. Robert D. Ray (R) is running strong. Ray
defeated Democrat Paul Franzenburg in 1968. Republican
should win.
Kansas: Gov. Robert Docking (D) is favored. Republican
Morris Kay ran a strong media campaign in the primary
and showed strength in a four-way race. This is possible,
but the conservative Governor is favored.
*Missouri: GOV. Warren E. Hearnes (D) is barred from re-
election. Republican Kit Bond won an easy primary victory.
The Democrat is Edward David who has a divided party on
his hands. Republican favored in close race.
*Close state where money could have good impact.

September 20, 1972
Montana: Gov. Forrest Anderson (D) is not seeking
re-election. The Democrat is Lt. Governor Thomas
Judge. The Republican is rancher Ed Smith who has
had difficulty getting started and poor organization.
Democrat favored.
New Hampshire: GOV. Walter Peterson, Jr. (R) was defeated
in a major primary upset by Mel Thomson. Some concern
Peterson may try as an independent, but we think not.
The Democrat is Roger Crowley. Republican favored.
North Carolina: GOV. Robert W. Scott (D) is barred
from re-election. Republican Jim Holshouser is behind
but gaining strength. A recent poll showed him trailing
Democrat Hargrove (Skipper) Bowles by 10 points. Bowles
is an attractive candidate and a hard campaigner.
Democrat favored.
North Dakota: GOV. William Guy (D) is not seeking
re-election. The Democrat is Cong. Art Link who decided
not to run against a Republican incumbent for the at
large House seat. The Republican is Lt. Gov. Dick Larsen
who ran an extremely strong primary. Republican favored.
*Rhode Island: Gov. Frank Licht (D) is not seeking
re-election. The Democrat is Philip Noel. Republican
Herbert DeSimone continues to show great strength in the
polls and is leading by a two to one margin. Republican
favored.
*South Dakota: GOV. Richard Kneip (D) is favored, but
Republican Carv Thompson is rapidly closing the gap.
Presidential coattails will be a help. Kneip is doing
his best to stay clear of McGovern. Democrat favored.
*Close state where money could have good impact.

H. R. Haldeman
September 20, 1972
Texas: Republican Henry Groves is very low in the polls
but has not started his media campaign. Democrat Dolph
Briscoe is looked upon by the press and many politicians
as already elected though he has done no extensive
campaigning. Democrat should win.
Utah: Gov. Calvin L. Rampton (D) has been a popular
Governor and is seeking an unprecedented third term.
Republican Nicholas Strike is an unknown with little
experience. Democrat should win.
Vermont: Gov. Dean C. Davis (R) is not seeking re-election.
The Republican is Luther Hackett, an experienced legislator
and attractive candidate. The Democrat is Thomas Salmon,
a viable candidate running in the wrong year. Republican
favored.
Washington: Gov. Daniel J. Evans (R) is showing increased
popularity and just won renomination easily. The
Democrat is Albert Rosellini, who lost to Evans eight
years ago. Republican should win.
West Virginia: Gov. Arch A. Moore, Jr. (R) has an
excellent record and is enjoying growing popularity, but
SO is Democrat Jay Rockefeller, even though he has
identified himself with McGovern. The President is in
good shape, but the Rockefeller money and charisma is
feared. Very close.
