Tuesday, December 20, 2011 Page 9 of 9 October 25, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR GORDON STRACHAN FROM MARY ANN ALLIN What will be our policy on this kind of follow-up request from Congressional candidates who want some special language to be used in ads and final publicity? The attached draft language is not good, but could be rewritten as a personal letter to Dowd. His race has special priority because he is very close to un- seating an incumbent Democrat, and this came to me with the recommendation of Harry Dent and the Congressional Campaign Committee. (Dowd received the standard endorsement letter on October 16, but has not used it.) SUGGESTED DRAFT OF PRESIDENTIAL LETTER IN BEHALF OF WILLIAM F. DOWD To the Citizens of the Third Congressional District: As this campaign period draws to a close, I wish to thank the people of Monmouth and Ocean counties for the fine support you have given our administration during the past four years. During the next four years, if I am privileged to serve as your President, our administration will need the support of competent and dedicated members of Congress. Our programs designed to achieve a clean environment, an America free from the fear of rampant crime, a strong economy open to all citizens, and a world free from the scourge of war and the threat of war these programs must have strong support in the Senate and the House. In the third district, you are especially fortunate to have a candidate for the House of Representatives who I know personally as an exceptionally knowledgeable and capable young man. Bill Dowd served as a member of my staff with great distinction, and impressed me and the members of my administration with his keen aware- ness of contemporary problems and his constructive approach toward the issues of the day. At considerable personal sacrifice, he has made government his life's work. If we are successful on November 7, our administration will need Bill Dowd in the Congress. Thus, his election is important to the future of our nation. As important, however, is the environmental and economic well- being of the Third District. In Bill Dowd, the voters of Monmouth and Ocean counties have an opportunity to elect a spirited and dedicated citizen who, I am confident, will champion your interests and stand up for the principles which assure the continuing success of the American Revolution. Without hesitation, I ask all those citizens who plan to support our administration on election day to give strength and meaning to that support by sending Bill Dowd to Washington. Sincerely, (RMN) he / Resident asks FOR YOUR help: THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTO p.( me F you Split" your Ticket To "balAnce" Your lote, you won't DALANCE your LOTE, you'll CANCEL your vote.

Committee for the Re-election of the President 1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 (202) 333-0920 SENSITIVE-EYES ONLY October 3, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: CLARK MacGREGOR FROM: STAN ANDERSON SEA SUBJECT: Presidential TV Commercials to Aid Senate and House Candidates This memorandum outlines a proposal for Presidential participation in uniform TV commercials to aid target Senate and House candidates. This memo supplements the proposal I made to you in my memo of September 29, entitled Senate and House Races Planning Paper. There continues to be a great deal of discussion and some controversy concern- ing the President's involvement in Senate and House campaigns. There are, of course, arguments of merit on both sides of the issue. It seems to me, how- ever, that this proposal for TV commercials cuts a medium line between those who argue that the President should become actively involved in Senate and House campaigns and those who argue he should not because it will affect his overall vote-getting ability. This proposal identifies the President with a limited number of target candi- dates but does not put the President in a position of actively and personally campaigning in a state. Audio Tapes. We have ten target Senate races and I propose that the President tape a 30-45 second personalized audio recording for each race. This tape would be used as the sound track for a TV ad in which the local Senate candidate would supply the video pertion of the film. We would ask the ten candidates to supply us with drafts of text which would be re-edited by the November Group. This proposal would only require 1/2 hour of the President's time. Once the re- cording is completed the tapes could be reproduced and distributed within one week. The benefit of this proposal is that you have the President orally en- dorsing the target candidate, one step more than his written endorsement, but he is not. visually seen and he personally was not in the state for the purpose of endorsing a Senate candidate. Approve Disapprove - 2 - Standard TV Ad. I also recommend that a standard 45 second TV tape be pre- pared for distribution to our target Senate races and "maximum support" House races. This tape would show various film clips of the President deal- ing with the Congress, the State of the Union Message, returning to the Capitol from Moscow, leadership breakfasts, etc. An off-camera announcer would narrate the message about the President's need for a Republican Con- gress. The target candidate could then add a tag line to the uniform ad that he supports the President and wants to be part of the Nixon team in Washing- ton. The proposal would not require any of the President's time. Production time would be approximately two weeks, consequently, a decision must be made soon so that production can begin. I would also point out that the go-ahead to begin production can be made now and a final decision on distribution can be withheld until as late as October 20th. This would allow us to be in a position to act if late in the campaign it is decided that the President should take a more active role in local campaigns.

On the other hand, incumbent Republicans would appreciate the endorsements, and they would have a soothing effect on our troops during the closing days of this session. of thoroly antagonise the others Also, some endorsement letters now would tend to negate criticisms in press and on Hill that the President is not interested in helping other Republicans.

Washington orders local Nixon head- quarters not to display pictures or literature of other GOP candidates. The critics complain Nixon doesn't talk about needing a Republican Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASKINGTON October 20, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN FROM: WILLIAM TIMMONS SUBJECT: Senate Campaign Film After our conversation this morning 1 traced the steps on "commitments" for the President to have films made with incumbent Senators seeking re-election. Stan Anderson and Clark MacGregor confirm that a Presidential offer for campaign film has been accepted by: 1. Gordon Allott 2. Caleb Boggs 1.2 CHI Hansen 4. Mark Hatfield 5. Chas. Percy This stems from the President to MacCregor to Dominick to candidates, with Anderson doing the follow-up staff work. Incidentally, I personally checked on Caleb Boggs and he now wants film and will buy the Philadelphia market. 1 gather the young radical Democrat is closing Cale's early margin. Clark believes he told you that we have no further obligation to do film for challengers. RECOMMENDATIONS: 4 That Presidential time early next week be set aside for Blming. 2. That Timmons call live Senators to offer film at that time if they want it. 3. - That Rep. Bill Scott (R-VA) be asked to come in at same time along with incumbent Senators.

Haldeman VIA: Ray Price Subject: Campaign Correspondence Update I. As I have indicated earlier, the following political correspondence has either been completed or is in the process of completion: 1. Letters to 2, 700 Convention Delegates and Alternates. 2. Letters, photos, certificates, and mementos to about 1,000 other participants in the Convention. 3. Letters of Presidential endorsement to: a. 175 incumbent House candidates. b. 260 non-incumbent House candidates.

Continuing acknowledgment of all incoming political support with follow-up as indicated. -2- II. Anticipating a "get-out-the-vote" effort in the closing days of the campaign, I propose the following for review and consideration: 1. That "book telegrams" (draft at Tab A) be used for our "get-out-the-vote" efforts. Book telegrams use identical texts but are individualized by name and address. There is no "Dear Friend" type of approach. These telegrams are cheaper, faster, and convey a sense of immediacy, of urgency, which letters do not. Also, we do away with many of the problems attendant to "robot" letters such as salutations, preparation, signature, etc. Approve Disapprove 2. That our "get-out-the-vote" messages be dispatched no later than October 23. This will enable the message to be reprinted locally in campaign newsletters and other materials, and to be reproduced in facsimile for distribu- tion to precinct workers and other campaign volunteers. Approve Disapprove 3. That our messages be dispatched to the following: Category Quantity Yes No National Committee Men and Women 100 State Committee Chairmen 100 County Committee Chairmen 3,800 State and Local Re-Elect Committee Chairmen and Storefront Offices 5,000 Democrats for Nixon 200 State and Local Chairmen Total 9,200 -3- III. In addition, Bill Timmons has recommended that we follow standard procedure in sending "election-eve" telegrams to Congressional candidates. The message would reenforce the President's earlier endorsement of the candidates, show the President's continuing active interest in the outcome of the races, serve as an "eleventh hour" morale booster, and give the candidates the chance to reprint the telegram as an ad in the election eve and election morning editions of the local newspapers where it might make the margin of difference. Timmon's office would review the final list before the tele- gram is dispatched, but the total should run about 470. The message drafts to incumbent and non-incumbents are attached at Tab B. Approve Disapprove Pending approval of the above, I will obtain the necessary mailing lists and make arrangements for the dispatch of messages through our Telegraph Office. Thanks Al Roland L. Elliott A As we enter the closing days before the election, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you and to your fellow campaigners. There is no substitute for the dedicated hard work and devotion to cause that you have shown over the past weeks, and the greatest reward for all of us will be a re- sounding victory on November 7. But we cannot relax in these final days. We must make that extra effort to take our message to the voters and take the voters to the polls. Their decision is the truest measure of success, the one that counts, and the one we need if we are to form a new majority across the land and meet the challenges America faces in the years ahead. Let's all keep up the good work! RN Draft Telegram for Incumbents The importance of this year's elections cannot be too strongly emphasized.

Your determination to improve the quality of life for all Delawareans is reflected in a substantial reduction of crime in your state, and you have pledged to do more.

RICHARD NIXON October 18, 1972 Dear Dan: As you near the end of what I know must have been a stimulating campaign, I want to take this oppor- tunity to wish you the best on November 7th. You have led the people of Washington through a most difficult period of economic recovery, and because we have faced many of the same problems nationally, I am well aware of the progress you have made. Throughout your Administration, you have sought to involve citizens in the problems of government, and you have led your state to a position of national importance in the area of foreign trade. All this has had a positive impact on the economic situation. As you know, one of my great concerns is that we return decision-making power and tax monies to the states where they rightfully belong. You have de- voted long hours in developing the concept of revenue sharing and now that it will soon become a reality, I can think of no better reward for your efforts than your re-election as Governor so that you may help the people of Washington realize the great benefits of this program. I look forward to working with you in this effort and in meeting the many exciting challenges that lie ahead. Sincerely, Honorable Daniel J.

The passage of a Revenue Sharing Bill by the Senate hastens the day when financial assistance will be available for programs which -- are greatly needed in your state to improve education with- out increasing the property tax burden. An we begin to reverse the flow of power and money from Washington, a basic goal of the New Federallsm outlined by this Administration four years ago, I look forward to working with a man in Pierro who shares my commitment to making state government more effective in meeting the needs of our citizens and who promises new leadership for the people of South Dakota.

MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 17, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN FROM: MARY ANN ALLIN was Attached is a copy of Stan Anderson's request which came through Harry Dent for endorsement of candidates for the New York State Legislature. On the list there are 60 incumbents for the Assembly (of which 2 have been done), 37 candidates for the Assembly (of which 5 have been done), and 9 candidates for the State Senate (of which 3 have been done). In addition, 6 other candidates in New York have been done, but they do not appear on this list. They are asking for about 100 endorsements out of approximately 200 races state-wide, so this reflects some selection on the part of the State GOP and Re-Elect Committees. Telegrams of en- dorsement similar to the ones attached (actually they just offer best wishes) can be sent to the remaining candidates, as requested, but I feel there should be some discussion of how these will be used to avoid a lot of media overlap where we are endorsing candidates whose districts are in close proximity. The cost of such an undertaking can be held down by sending Mailgrams ($1. 60) instead of Straightwires ($10. 65, and Nightletters $3. 20). For your information, I have attached copies of the four endorse- ments done for candidates for the California State Legislature. October 6, 1972 NIGHTLETTER Mr. William J.

LPIU 685-8902 459-3321 FOR CONGRESS October 10, 1972 Mr. Maurice Stans Committee for the Re-Election of the President 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Stans: On November 7, the voters of the Fifth Massachusetts Congressional District will be choosing a new Congressman to succeed F. Bradford Morse. I am the Republican Nominee and my opponent is John Kerry, founder of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Mr. Kerry, in winning the Democratic nomination, has publicly reported spending $140,000 in the Primary alone. It appears that he is quite willing to expend an additional $200,000 in the General Election. Common Cause has reported this is the largest expenditure for a congressional seat in the entire Nation. Mr. Kerry has found that the radical left is willing to raise these substantial sums. Their commitment is not only intellectual and per- sonal, it is also financial. It is a total commitment. On the other hand, my fund raising efforts have een limited mostly to the Fifth Congressional District and needless to say, I find it most diffi- cult to match Kerry's expenditures for media, telephones, mailings and staff. Cronin Paul W. 477 Essex Street Lawrence. Mass. 685-8902 / 9 Central Street Lowell, Mass. LPIU 459-3321 FOR CONGRESS - 2 - Four years ago, I committed myself to the election of President Nixon, working with Brad Morse prior to the convention in the Northeast and serving as a floor manager during the convention. Two years ago I served as the New England coordinator for the Congressional Campaign Committee. On October 10 of this year, at a meeting with the President in the White House, Mr. Nixon stated, "Winning your seat is more important than anything else in Massachusetts". On October 31, Mr. Tom Pappas is having a fund-raising dinner for the President in Boston. The money to be raised cannot possibly be spent in such a short space of time before November 7. I am aware that all congressional candidates need funds. However, they are not being subjected to the incredible amounts of New Left money being poured into the Kerry coffers. I am in need of additional campaign funds : ow amounting to close to $100,000 in order to compete with the Kerry money blitz. With the funds we win; without the funds Kerry wins. Newspaper reports have indicated that the Committee to Re-Elect the President intends to eventually dole out some funds to key congressional races across the Nation. We have been told that we are one of the ten key districts in the country. We need those funds now to stay in the same media ball park as Mr. Kerry. We would also appreciate a significant commitment on the proceeds of the Pappas dinner on October 31 so that we might borrow on it to win this election. Cronin Paul W. 477 Essex Street Lawrence, Mass. 685-8902 / 9 Central Street Lowell, Mass.

Every Senate candidate will receive "tailored" letters depending on the degree of their Presidential support and local state issues, and those will be drafted in a few days and sent to you. (No endorsements, however, for Republican opponents of Senators McClellan, Eastland and Randolph). You will note that Allin is giving a special-type letter to Price who is running against Purcell and also has a "hold" on Jim Collins' letter because he faces possible Justice action on staff "kick-backs. " The list of House Members getting special inserts is based on their marginal status although we can't do this for everybody. Each will get a line on an issue of particular significance to them. We can provide language to you if necessary. At the end of the Congressional session we will take another look at the "protected Democrats" list to weigh possible exceptions. Since most of the Hous e letters are now ready to go, I hope you can clear the copy and list. Thanks. ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTEAL October 25, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: BILL SAFIRE FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Sunday New York Times Ad Bob reviewed your memorandum entitled "Institutional Advertising" of October 18, but decided against spending the money to reprint the entire text of the President's speech in the Sunday New York Times News Review section.

R. HALDEMAN FROM: BILL SAFIRE RE: "Institutional Advertising" A prime purpose of our radio speeches is to show press and opinion leaders that the President is thoughtfully addressing the issues, in contrast to McG's strident stump campaign. Thursday we go with a speech on the New Majority, drawing a fundamental issue: "Paternalism VS. Personal Freedom?' I suggest we buy a full-page ad in the Sunday New York Times News Review Section reprinting the text of the speech. This runs contrary to every rule of political advertising -- nobody reads long texts, you need pictures, etc. But it would sure make these points to a wide (about 2 million, including 500, 000 outside NYC area) audience: (1) Nixon is sure discussion serious things seriously (2) How come none of this ever gets reported? The ad would not cost much; it could be set by the Times in New York on Thursday in time for the Sunday week in the Review Section, I think; and it would result in a lot of thought leaders paying much more attention to this speech and to radio speeches for the rest of the campaign.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL October 25, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: MAURICE STANS FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Kuchel Radio and TV Spots in California Bob asked me to check the information you received from California people that radio and TV ads by former Senator Tom Kuchel would be effective among the liberal element in California. Bob reviewed several opinions of Cali- fornians and has decided that the Kuchel radio and TV spots not be prepared and run in California. GS/jb THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 21, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN S SUBJECT: Kuchel Radio and T.V. Spots in California Maury Stans received information from California people that radio and T.V. ads by former Senator Tom Kuchel would be effective among the liberal element in California. Bob Finch does not think Kuchel would be effective. Kuchel doesn't mean much anymore in California. Herb Klein thinks radio and T.V. spots by Kuchel would be effective in Northern California and the San Joaquin Valley. Fred Malek thinks Kuchel would have a positive effect. However, he does not think the Kuchel spots would be worth sending new money into California to pay for them in light of the strict budget situation. Malek does not think it would be worth shifting some of the money already allocated to California to the Kuchel spots. Malek says his view would be supported by Nofziger, who was not personally contacted. RECOMMENDATION: That Kuchel radio and TV spots not be prepared and run in California to appeal to the liberal element. AGREE H DISAGREE COMMENT I will advise Stans of your decision. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 19, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN FROM: L.

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN S SUBJECT: Endorsement Tapes and Film You have the text of the audio tape for the President to read to assist Hirsch, Tower, Domenici, McClure, Chaffee, Thompson, Bartlett, and Helms in their Senate races. Another copy of the Price-approved text, which is an abbreviated version of the endorsement letters, is attached. Bill Timmons and Stan Anderson have not contacted this list of Senate candidates about whether it would be helpful to receive an audio tape because all answer affirmatively. Timmons and Anderson want to contact them after the audio tapes are completed. Bull is scheduling the audio tapings for Tuesday, October 24. The Red Blount silent film footage shooting with the President is scheduled for Thursday at 9 a.m. Bill Timmons strongly urges that Caleb Boggs be added to this filming opportunity. Timmons believes that Blount won't win even with the footage. Boggs will probably win but desperately wants the footage. Boggs now has the financial commitments to run the resultant TV spot from Philadelphia. Recommendation: That Caleb Boggs also receive footage of the President at the Thursday Blount event.

FOR: HARRY DENT FROM: STEPHEN BULL The President has consented to do a brief filming with Red Blount on Thursday, October 26, at 9:00 a.m. in the Oval Office. I spoke per- sonally with Jim Allison and he and Mr. Blount understand that this is to be silent footage only. By copy of this memorandum I am requesting Mark Goode to make the appropriate arrangements to hire a film cameraman to do this filming. Additionally, Mark is requested to arrange for whatever lighting will be required. Presumably we will need some fixed lights in the office and, for this reason, we have scheduled the film session early SO that the lights may be removed before any other Presidential appointments. All of the filming will be done in the office since it is getting pretty chilly, the Rose Garden is fading, and pictorially the outdoors probably wouldn't lend itself too well for Blount's requirements. Ultimately I will prepare a brief scenario indicating the actions to be filmed in the Oval Office, but the President should have some briefing material on Blount's campaign SO that he can be conversant on the subject. Would you please do a one-page brief which I will allude to as a tab on my cover scenario. This brief should be submitted to David Hoopes. Thank you. cc: A. Butterfield D. Chapin M. Goode H. R.

Boggs margin has been dropping 63-18 August 15 41-29 September 15 46-40 October 15 44-42 October 20 (quickie) Boggs now will buy the Philadelphia TV market if he can get film. It should also be noted that Ted Kennedy has been in Delaware campaigning for Bogg's opponent and an upset there will surely be claimed as a personal victory for Kennedy.

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN S SUBJECT: MacGregor/Dole Press Conference Clark MacGregor and Bob Dole are scheduled to have a Press Conference tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the Get-Out-the-Vote program with Fred Malek. All in the 9:15 meeting, including Colson, Abrahams, Clawsen, Chapin, were opposed because the press will focus the Press Conference on Watergate, etc. Magruder and Abrahams cannot convince MacGregor that this Press Conference is a bad idea. An alternative to the MacGregor/Dole Press Conference would be a Malek Press Conference since he could better keep the focus on the Get-Out-the-Vote.

HALDEMAN FROM: CHARLES COLSON SUBJECT: Next two weeks. I am convinced from listening to Sindlinger interviews on Saturday, by my own analysis of poll data and by my seat of the pants political instincts, that most people who are going to vote for the President because of his record and his accomplishments, have already decided how they will vote. Those who approve of the President and think he deserves re-election have been sold. At this stage of the game, people who are uncertain about supporting the President are not going to be sold by being reminded of China, Russia, SALT or any other positive Nixon accomplishment. Many of them will choose us because we are the lesser of evils or, in the case of large numbers of Democrats, because they are turned off by McGovern. In my mind this is the anti-McGovern vote. If it remains anti-McGovern, it will either come to us or stay home. The key objective in my mind in the next two weeks is to keep the undecided voter and the lukewarm Nixon support turned off on McGovern Most of these people are Democrats and Independents. The polls show the Republican vote is remarkably solid and hopefully Clark will be getting everyone of them out to vote. I, therefore, believe that positive advertising will accomplish little if anything in the last two weeks of the campaign. The Democrat or Independent who is not sold on us is not going to be sold on us by any classy commercials that we run in the next two weeks. We can, 2. We cany however, keep him unsold on McGovern. Also, the negative ads are Democrats ads. Just by running them we continue to remind the disaffected Democrat that he is not violating his sacred vows by supporting Nixon. McGovern's strategic problems in some respects have been no different than ours. He has been trying to win the disaffected Democrats by a positive appeal to them and it obviously hasn't worked, it has by and large failed. He has now begun negative ads against us (thank God he didn't think of them sooner). These coupled with his hard hitting attacks, Watergate, etc., could begin to have a corrosive effect. What I am therefore recommending is a negative negative strategy. If he is not countered, he can begin to persuade Democrats who don't like him or are turned off by his views that while he may be a horse's ass, Democrats should vote not for him but against US. We have to continue to make him so unattractive that no matter how bad a picture he paints of us, they still will come to us instead of him. In short, I don't think that there are many people left in the country who can be persuaded to vote for Nixon Those who are for us have had plenty of time to reach that decision. I think there are a lot of people, however, who are against McGovern and our job is to keep them against McGovern. I am putting it hard on the surrogates because I don't think in the critical period ahead we can relent on the attack, but in my fiew we desperately need extensive use of the most effective anti-McGovern TV commercials and newspaper ads. The President's own campaigning will keep our own troops charged up and will keep those who are for the President for him. Only the attack and the ads will keep those who are against McGovern against McGovern. We can probably win the election by doing absolutely nothing for the next 14 days. On the other hand, if we keep the heat on we can produce a real landslide and the more Democrats we prevent from voting for McGovern by forcing them, even if they can't buy us, to stay home, The better the chance of bringing the Congress in with us, thereby avoiding the inevitable recriminations from our own Party.

ACTION MEMO Get to Towers' people and make the point that the problem he has is not a rise by Sanders, but rather the fact that he is an incumbent. He should hang tight to Nixon, but more importantly, he must paint Sanders as a crony of Ramsey Clark's, Jane Fonda's, and George McGovern's. He's got to make the voters afraid of Sanders.

I have printed and placed in storage here in Washington 800,000 copies of the brochure, "Partners in Progress - Meet Some of the Blacks in the Nixon Administration." (Please see the copy attached!) Is it possible to receive assistance from someone close to the President, or the President himself, to inform the proper people (1) that these brochures are available in large quantities (2) of the following circumstances: - Dr. Clifford Hardin, when shown the brochure at Purina-Ralston a few days ago, was surprised that it was not receiving the fullest distribution and suggested to Arthur Butterfield that it be used widely. Mr. Butterfield had never seen the brochure. - A large number of Republican chairmen are enthusiastic about the brochure but have no funds to purchase or distribute it. They are convinced that it would be a tremendous advantage to them among big-city black voters. (See copy of Philadelphia Chairman William P. Devlin's letter to Bob Brown). Note: Bob Brown is very high on the brochure but has been able to move only 300,000 of the 1.5 million originally printed. - "Partners" is the only really effective piece of campaign material available to back up nationally known blacks such as Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, Floyd McKissick, etc. who have openly endorsed President Nixon's re-election. I would venture to say that if "Partners" had been distributed earlier in Baltimore and other cities, James Brown would NOT have suffered a boycott of his concert yesterday in Baltimore. - The 800,000 brochures now available cost approximately .02 cents apiece to print, plus shipping costs from St. Louis to Washington, D.C., and storage. They are printed in four colors on newsprint for quick and easy distribution in black ghetto and other Negro areas where, for the first (Over, Please) THE BLACK SILENT MAJORITY COMMITTEE EXECUTIVE OFFICES, 53 D STREET, S.E., CORNER OF FIRST (On Capitol Hill - Two Blocks from U.S. Capitol) MAILING ADDRESS: P.O.

The President might be delighted to know that since last April when the brochure was first printed and shown on the ABC national television news program, we received and filled numerous requests from many black colleges, high schools and organizations - at a cost covered entirely by the Black Silent Majority Committee. There has been no end to requests for huge numbers of free copies from black and white Republican district organizers and state, city, and county chairmen. They want "as many as possible" free and are wondering "why Washington isn't doing more" to make this persuasive piece of literature available where it is sorely needed. I will appreciate any efforts you can make to aid my desperate situation regarding the 800,000 brochures and to help give the President the sweeping mandate he deserves on election day.
