TO cox MEMORANDUM 10/10 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN FROM: WALLACE B. HENLEY But Thought you'd be interested in the attached. I have not forwarded this to the man I met in your office, and will leave that to your discretion. Virginia Committee for the Re-election of the President 615 EAST MAIN STREET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA (703) 644-7661 MAILING ADDRESS: BOX 1D, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23201 September 26, 1972 Mr. Wallace Henley The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Wallace: I thought it might be a good idea to write you the substance of what I said. this afternoon to you in response to your phone call. You referred to a comment that the Virginia Committee for the Re- election of the President "is too close Spong". I can assure you this is not so; not only are we not "too close", or at all close -- we are totally unrelated. The purpose of the Virginia Committee has been to create a politically comfortable structure into which could come Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to work thoroughly and effectively for the re-election of the President. I believe we have built a rather good statewide organization. In almost every locality we have Democrat and Republican Co-Chairmen. The Republican is always a person selected by the local Republican leadership. The Democrat is selected with the advice of conservative Democrat friends like Mills Godwin and many others with whom I have worked in State politics over the years. The Republican Co-Chairman obviously is committed to the full Republican ticket. As for the Democrat Co-Chairman, I take pains not to get anyone who is involved in the Senate or House campaign for a Democrat. Obviously, so long as they are not partic- ularly involved, we don't take any "blood tests" because our purpose is to rise above people's past allegiances and present secondary commitments and unify as many as possible in support of the President. In localities of particular Republican strength and competence (there are an impressive number of them), our Committee is really working through the Republican leadership, which leadership of course is working actively for Scott. In some particularly conservative rural areas with strong Democrat history and 1968 Wallace support, the ball will necessarily be carried mainly by conservative Democrats suggested to me by old pros like Watt Abbitt and others. These people, of course, have no involvement with Spong. In short, I am Mr. Wallace Henley -2- September 26, 1972 not aware of a single instance across the State where any of our leadership people are actively associated with the campaign of any Democrat candidate; and in a great many instances our leadership people are actively involved in the Scott campaign. As for my own position, I have considered it to be of great impor- tance that I make it clear that I am working for the re-election of the President. Before I became involved in the campaign, I told Bill Spong (with whom I served in the State Senate) that my overriding interest would be the re-election of the President and that in one capacity or another I intended to be involved in that campaign; therefore, I would take no part in the senatorial campaign. When John Mitchell called me about the Chairmanship of the Virginia Committee and asked me particu- larly about my association with Spong, I told him just what I had told Spong. This satisfied Mr. Mitchell, and I have stuck absolutely to that line. If it made sense in the first place to select an "independ- ent Democrat" as Chairman, then it seems to make sense for me to maintain that position. I know some of the Scott supporters have felt that we should run a joint campaign. But our Committee, Cynthia Newman, Dortch Warriner, and I, agree that that's not our assignment. Furthermore, we agree that we are doing very well letting local leadership and local volun- teers do more or less what they want to in that regard. The practical consequence has been that in a majority of instances these headquarters are primarily Nixon headquarters, but secondly headquarters for Republican candidates. The headquarters in Chesterfield County, for example, where I took Ed Cox yesterday, is a Nixon-Scott headquarters and I introduced Congressman Scott myself. We are going to keep on getting a certain amount of flak on this score -- more I suppose as the campaign goes on. But unless I get a different directive from you men at the helm, I am going to stay on this line, and I hope you will back me up. Incidentally, I mentioned a new weekly newspaper in the Richmond area - The Richmond Mercury - which referred to me as a Spong supporter. Given the nature of the paper and its circulation, I judged it would be wise to let that inaccurate statement go and not get into any elaborate explanations which would give others the opportunity to make my balancing act more difficult. If you see any more brush fires on this score, for goodness sake, let me know so we can try to put them out. Many thanks for calling me.

We are relatively certain'our own materials are not at fault since our Mexican American brochures will not be ready for distribution until next week, and no Spanish language or Puerto Rican literature has been released from this office yet. Our fact sheets are in English and have been extremely well received in all areas. To get to the bottom of this criticism, it would be necessary to take a look at the materials in question. Our guess is that the comments may have been inspired by the RNC brochures which we all agree totally miss the mark and therefore have not been used. It is also possible that local groups have developed and distributed literature that has not been cleared by this office, although we have no knowledge of such activity. To the best of our knowledge, Lyn Nofziger is not rewriting any Spanish-speaking literature. cc: Mr. Gordon Strachan MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 11, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN FROM: DAVIDE PARKER I talked with Ed Cox today and he informed that quite often when he returns from a trip and has picked up various bits and pieces of political information that he calls Bob directly to relate this data. I suggested to him that you were the action arm and political liaison between Bob and Clark, at which point he asked if it would be appropriate for him to call you rather than Bob, so as to not to waste Bob's time. I informed him that would be completely appro- priate, therefore, I think we may have saved Bob some grief and time. Accordingly, be prepared for a barrage. cc: Larry Higby 9/25 Va - Prol w/ Scott Replace Bemis two for spong -ade prees. -2 del's he I Bemis.
