MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT:
Proposed Appearance in New Hampshire
by Twenty Spokesmen on March 3, 1972
It has been recommended that approximately twenty spokesmen,
celebrities and athletes be scheduled to appear in New
Hampshire in the afternoon and evening of March 3, 1972.
The rationale for this is (a) it would reflect broad-based
support of the President, (b) it would be a grand finale
to a campaign in which the candidate did not appear, and
(c) it would sustain the enthusiasm generated by the
President's trip to China.
If the event is approved, it would be directed by the Spokes-
men Resources Division. I have requested J. Curtis Herge
to undertake the preliminary work in this connection. Curt
has reported the following:
1. Principal Participants. We have contacted
the schedulers of the following individuals to advise
them of the possibility of the event and to ask that
the date be reserved:
Vice President
Sen. Scott
Sec. Romney
Mr. Ruckelshaus
Sec. Morton
Mr. Peterson
Sec. Butz
Mr. Klein
Sec. Richardson
Mr. Blatchford
Sec. Hodgson
Mr. Kleindienst
Sen. Brock
Senator Cook
Memorandum for the Attorney General
January 31, 1972
Page Two
We have learned that the following individuals have
standing commitments on March 3, 1972:
Sec. Volpe - Republican National Committee Leader-
ship Conference in Washington, D.C.
Sec. Dole - Republican National Committee Leader-
ship Conference in Washington, D.C.
Sen. Goldwater - Republican Fund-Raising Event,
Birmingham
Mr. Finch - West Adams Community Hospital Dedication,
Los Angeles.
It would be possible to secure Sec. Volpe and/or Sen. Dole
if it were deemed desirable.
We are now getting in touch with the schedulers of the
following individuals:
Gov. Holton
Sen. Taft
Gov. Milliken
Cong. Kemp
Cong. Ford
Cong. Conable
We have advised Joe Horacek of the event. He will pro-
vide us with the names of five celebrities who would
be available for consideration.
We propose to get in touch with Frank Gifford to obtain
the names of five athletes who would be available for
consideration.
We understand that a decision will be made in due course
about the possibility of scheduling the Vice President,
Governor Rockefeller and Governor Reagan in New Hampshire.
Because of the non-partisan role they must play, we have
not considered Sec. Connally, Sec. Rogers, Sec. Laird or
Mr. Rumsfeld.
Memorandum for the Attorney General
January 31, 1972
Page Three
One or more women might be selected from among Bertha
Adkins, Patricia Hitt, Charlotte Reid, Virginia Knauer,
Jayne Spain, Catherine Bedell and the list of celebrities.
Lionel Hampton and his orchestra are presently scheduled
to appear at the evening rally.
2. Program. It is the present thought that the
aircraft arrive in Manchester in the early afternoon
to a large, colorful, noisy reception with bands and
"Nixonettes". The group would then separate to visit
selected cities and towns in the southern half of the
State. They would take part in pre-programmed events,
such as shopping center rallies or coffees, followed
by walking tours. Among other things, they would
build interest in the evening rally. The rally is to
be held in the Manchester armory (capacity: 3,000) in
the evening. Lionel Hampton and his orchestra are
scheduled to play at the rally. The number and identity
of the speakers must be determined. We are now
attempting to secure a celebrity as the master of
ceremonies and a well-known singer or singing group.
The aircraft would depart for Washington following
the rally. (One question which must be resolved is
that of dinner. One option would be to have everyone
return to his room in Manchester for a private dinner
and a rest.)
3. Name. Consideration is now being given to a
name for the event. Suggestions include: (a) Re-
elect the President Victory Special, (b) Re-elect the
President Victory Tour and Rally, (c) The President's
Day, and (d) The President's Victory Tour.
4. News Releases. The proposal is now confidential.
It has been suggested that, to avoid the implication
that this will be a last minute blitz to avoid a poor
showing at the polls, the event should be made public
at the earliest opportunity.
Memorandum for the Attorney General
January 31, 1972
Page Four
5. Event Timing. To maximize the crowd at the
airport reception, it might be advisable to schedule
the arrival time to coincide with the lunch hour.
6. Transportation. We have requested American,
Eastern and Allegheny airlines to submit bids to us
for a charter aircraft.
If twenty spokesmen are selected, it can be expected
that they will require an aggregate personal staff of
twenty. If the Vice President goes, John Damgard
reports that that will add eight more people. The
press corps might number 10-15 and an equal number
should go from 1701 to provide on-site support. The
highest possible number of people involved might be
close to 80, not including advancemen. As a consequence,
we will require one or two aircraft.. (It might be
wiser to divide this group between two aircraft for
safety reasons.)
John Sias has agreed to secure the necessary cars in
New Hampshire.
7. Communications. We are presently exploring
the possibility of securing several DCN's for use on
March 3rd. (Walkie-talkies.)
8. Accommodations. We have requested John Sias
to reserve an adequate number of hotel rooms for use
as rest stops and a possible overnight if the weather
prevents a departure that night.
9. Support. The following people have been advised
of the proposed event:
a) John Sias - Our scheduling contact in New
Hampshire. We suggested to John that he
designate someone to work full time with him
on the logistical problems.
Memorandum for the Attorney General
January 31, 1972
Page Five
b) Van Shumway and Tom Girard - Media arrangements.
c) Dick Howard - We suggested inclusion of the
event in the news planning calendar.
d) Dave Parker, Pat O'Donnell, Jchn Damgard and
Ernie Minor - Schedule coordination.
e) Nancy Steorts - Organization of "Nixonettes".
f) Glenn Sedam - Aircraft arrangements.
g) Joe Horacck - Celebrities.
With your approval, we will proceed to organize this event.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT:
State Speakers Bureau
It has been recommended that Speakers Bureaus be organized
within the framework of the state campaign committees in
the key states.
We suggest that our Spokesmen Resources Division assist the
respective state chairmen with the organization of the
bureaus. The objectives would be to facilitate the sched-
uling of local spokesmen within their home states and to be
assured that the spokesmen reflect the proper positions on
current issues. The states would include California, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
To implement this proposal, we suggest the following:
1. Within the next few weeks, we propose to submit
a program outline to the state chairmen.
2. In May, four regional meetings will be held to
brief the state chairmen and state speakers on the
effective organization and operation of the state
bureaus. They will be advised that we will provide
issue books and periodic position papers.
3. The regional briefing sessions will include (a)
California and Texas; (b) Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota and Ohio; (c) New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania; and (d) North Carolina and Virginia.
If you approve, we will implement this program.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: New Hampshire Direct Mail
Attached is the recommended text for the letter which will be sent
to undecided voters in New Hampshire as an adjunct to the telephone
campaign.
As described in the telephone canvass plan, each Republican voter
in the state will be called and asked if the President can count
on his support. If the voter states that he is undecided, the
telephoner will ask if there is a particular issue which is most
important to the voter in arriving at a decision. Following that
conversation, the attached letter will be sent, along with a one-
sheet issue summary on the appropriate subject. If the voter de-
clines to specify an issue, a generalized one-page statement will
be sent.
The text in the attached letter has been reviewed by Dick Moore and
has his concurrence.
Recommendation
That you approve the text of the attached letter and authorize its
use in New Hampshire for the purpose specified above.

First Wave Polling Results
We will begin receiving the remainder of the first wave polling
reports from the polling companies this week and be receiving
all other reports during the next three weeks. This will in-
volve a large volume of data and I would like to handle the re-
porting of this data to you in the following manner.
1. I have asked the companies for preliminary tabulations of
the ballot data and will have a state-by-state (with the
possible exception of Texas, Tennessee, and Virginia) sum-
mary of the seven trial heats we measured by Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 8th.
2. As I get the analyses and data from the polling companies, I
will prepare a summary memo with my conclusions and what I
think are the implications on our campaign for that state.
I will send you (and Haldeman) these memos and a copy of the
polling companies' analysis according to the following
schedule below. I will not include the data but will have
it here to answer any questions.

It is possible that we will receive the data from the companies
a little earlier than they are committed for and, if so,we will
be able to accelerate our delivery schedule to you by a few
days. I will also keep you advised of any delay in their
delivery schedule to US.
3. Once we have all the data we intend to do more comparative
analyses of the various states, some aggregate analyses of
types of voters, and more statistical analysis. This will
allow us to develop additional memos relating to a re-
evaluation of target states, specific state campaigns, and
several specific topics such as the President's image, the
various issues, the opponents and their images, and the
relationship to these and voting behavior. The companies
are submitting decks of IBM cards with their reports and I
will do this analysis at my office in Detroit where I have
a computer available with adequate programming capability
and security proceedure.
The final item which needs your consideration is the dissemi-
nation of the information. As expected, I have had numerous re-
quests for data intermittenly and up to now have only reacted
to other peoples' programs or ideas based on the data. From my
experience during the past few weeks, three people seem to have
some definite needs for information -- Bob Marik, for the prepa-
ration of campaign plans and direct mail; Pete Dailey for the
preparation of advertising; and Harry Dent. I attend meetings
frequently where the data we have should influence decisions
that are made and I think it is important that I be able to
discuss our findings with them or that we set up a proceedure to
get the data to them.

I heard today that the Becker operation is currently taking a poll

in the Boston Globe. Also I have been told by a reporter that the
"infamous" New Hampshire poll showing McCloskey with 22% of the
vote was done by the Cambridge Opinion Studies organization. I
understand that they have done work for us and for Lindsay. This
reporter is currently trying to determine who commissioned this
one. I have repeated to him our position that it was not ordered

Dear Mr. Chotiner:
I am sure at this time that you are well aware of the William Loeb,
Manchester Union-Leader editorial of Friday, August 6th where 112.
Loeb has declined to 30 along with President dixon based upon his
decision to visit mainland China. A copy of the story is enclosed
just in case you hadn't seen it.
In view of this I wonder if we might not do a quick telephone sur-
vey to measure opinion among Granite Staters on the issue, Mr. Loeh
and the Union-Leader. I enclose a single page suggested question-
naire and we could do interviews in different sections of the State.
I recommend that we complete 600 interviews covering the communities
of Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Keene, Hanover and Portsmouth basing
OUT sample in each community on population size. The complete cust
for this study would be $4,000.00 and we would provide the actual
comments of respondents interviewed. The study would be comparable
to the one we did state-wide in Massachusetts for Margaret Heckler
last year.
We could start such a study the first of the week and complete it quite
quickly if we got the go-ahead from you OF others in authority. by
questionnaire is just a suggested one and you might want to make some
changes, deletions, etc. I might add that form years ago when I worked
with a Detroit based group we asked these questions about :r. Ioeb, who
you know is a factor here in the Granite State. Whereas I only assisted
with the field work I just didn't see the responses to these questions.
I should be very happy to hear from you when you have a chance to read
this letter and we could proceed insediately. I am certain that WC
could come up with some current thinking of New Harpshire residents.
I will be ever so appreciative if you will keep my services in mind.

MAGRUDER\nSUBJECT:\nProposed Appearance in New Hampshire\nby Twenty Spokesmen on March 3, 1972\nIt has been recommended that approximately twenty spokesmen,\ncelebrities and athletes be scheduled to appear in New\nHampshire in the afternoon and evening of March 3, 1972.\nThe rationale for this is (a) it would reflect broad-based\nsupport of the President, (b) it would be a grand finale\nto a campaign in which the candidate did not appear, and\n(c) it would sustain the enthusiasm generated by the\nPresident's trip to China.\nIf the event is approved, it would be directed by the Spokes-\nmen Resources Division. I have requested J. Curtis Herge\nto undertake the preliminary work in this connection. Curt\nhas reported the following:\n1. Principal Participants. We have contacted\nthe schedulers of the following individuals to advise\nthem of the possibility of the event and to ask that\nthe date be reserved:\nVice President\nSen. Scott\nSec. Romney\nMr. Ruckelshaus\nSec. Morton\nMr. Peterson\nSec. Butz\nMr. Klein\nSec. Richardson\nMr. Blatchford\nSec. Hodgson\nMr. Kleindienst\nSen. Brock\nSenator Cook\nMemorandum for the Attorney General\nJanuary 31, 1972\nPage Two\nWe have learned that the following individuals have\nstanding commitments on March 3, 1972:\nSec. Volpe - Republican National Committee Leader-\nship Conference in Washington, D.C.\nSec. Dole - Republican National Committee Leader-\nship Conference in Washington, D.C.\nSen. Goldwater - Republican Fund-Raising Event,\nBirmingham\nMr. Finch - West Adams Community Hospital Dedication,\nLos Angeles.\nIt would be possible to secure Sec. Volpe and/or Sen. Dole\nif it were deemed desirable.\nWe are now getting in touch with the schedulers of the\nfollowing individuals:\nGov. Holton\nSen. Taft\nGov. Milliken\nCong. Kemp\nCong. Ford\nCong. Conable\nWe have advised Joe Horacek of the event. He will pro-\nvide us with the names of five celebrities who would\nbe available for consideration.\nWe propose to get in touch with Frank Gifford to obtain\nthe names of five athletes who would be available for\nconsideration.\nWe understand that a decision will be made in due course\nabout the possibility of scheduling the Vice President,\nGovernor Rockefeller and Governor Reagan in New Hampshire.\nBecause of the non-partisan role they must play, we have\nnot considered Sec. Connally, Sec. Rogers, Sec. Laird or\nMr. Rumsfeld.\nMemorandum for the Attorney General\nJanuary 31, 1972\nPage Three\nOne or more women might be selected from among Bertha\nAdkins, Patricia Hitt, Charlotte Reid, Virginia Knauer,\nJayne Spain, Catherine Bedell and the list of celebrities.\nLionel Hampton and his orchestra are presently scheduled\nto appear at the evening rally.\n2. Program. It is the present thought that the\naircraft arrive in Manchester in the early afternoon\nto a large, colorful, noisy reception with bands and\n\"Nixonettes\". The group would then separate to visit\nselected cities and towns in the southern half of the\nState. They would take part in pre-programmed events,\nsuch as shopping center rallies or coffees, followed\nby walking tours. Among other things, they would\nbuild interest in the evening rally. The rally is to\nbe held in the Manchester armory (capacity: 3,000) in\nthe evening. Lionel Hampton and his orchestra are\nscheduled to play at the rally. The number and identity\nof the speakers must be determined. We are now\nattempting to secure a celebrity as the master of\nceremonies and a well-known singer or singing group.\nThe aircraft would depart for Washington following\nthe rally. (One question which must be resolved is\nthat of dinner. One option would be to have everyone\nreturn to his room in Manchester for a private dinner\nand a rest.)\n3. Name. Consideration is now being given to a\nname for the event. Suggestions include: (a) Re-\nelect the President Victory Special, (b) Re-elect the\nPresident Victory Tour and Rally, (c) The President's\nDay, and (d) The President's Victory Tour.\n4. News Releases. The proposal is now confidential.\nIt has been suggested that, to avoid the implication\nthat this will be a last minute blitz to avoid a poor\nshowing at the polls, the event should be made public\nat the earliest opportunity.\nMemorandum for the Attorney General\nJanuary 31, 1972\nPage Four\n5. Event Timing. To maximize the crowd at the\nairport reception, it might be advisable to schedule\nthe arrival time to coincide with the lunch hour.\n6. Transportation. We have requested American,\nEastern and Allegheny airlines to submit bids to us\nfor a charter aircraft.\nIf twenty spokesmen are selected, it can be expected\nthat they will require an aggregate personal staff of\ntwenty. If the Vice President goes, John Damgard\nreports that that will add eight more people. The\npress corps might number 10-15 and an equal number\nshould go from 1701 to provide on-site support. The\nhighest possible number of people involved might be\nclose to 80, not including advancemen. As a consequence,\nwe will require one or two aircraft.. (It might be\nwiser to divide this group between two aircraft for\nsafety reasons.)\nJohn Sias has agreed to secure the necessary cars in\nNew Hampshire.\n7. Communications. We are presently exploring\nthe possibility of securing several DCN's for use on\nMarch 3rd. (Walkie-talkies.)\n8. Accommodations. We have requested John Sias\nto reserve an adequate number of hotel rooms for use\nas rest stops and a possible overnight if the weather\nprevents a departure that night.\n9. Support. The following people have been advised\nof the proposed event:\na) John Sias - Our scheduling contact in New\nHampshire. We suggested to John that he\ndesignate someone to work full time with him\non the logistical problems.\nMemorandum for the Attorney General\nJanuary 31, 1972\nPage Five\nb) Van Shumway and Tom Girard - Media arrangements.\nc) Dick Howard - We suggested inclusion of the\nevent in the news planning calendar.\nd) Dave Parker, Pat O'Donnell, Jchn Damgard and\nErnie Minor - Schedule coordination.\ne) Nancy Steorts - Organization of \"Nixonettes\".\nf) Glenn Sedam - Aircraft arrangements.\ng) Joe Horacck - Celebrities.\nWith your approval, we will proceed to organize this event.\nApprove\nDisapprove\nComments\nHERBERT L.

The objectives would be to facilitate the sched-\nuling of local spokesmen within their home states and to be\nassured that the spokesmen reflect the proper positions on\ncurrent issues. The states would include California, Illinois,\nIndiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North\nCarolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.\nTo implement this proposal, we suggest the following:\n1. Within the next few weeks, we propose to submit\na program outline to the state chairmen.\n2. In May, four regional meetings will be held to\nbrief the state chairmen and state speakers on the\neffective organization and operation of the state\nbureaus. They will be advised that we will provide\nissue books and periodic position papers.\n3. The regional briefing sessions will include (a)\nCalifornia and Texas; (b) Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,\nMinnesota and Ohio; (c) New Jersey, New York and\nPennsylvania; and (d) North Carolina and Virginia.\nIf you approve, we will implement this program.\nApprove\nDisapprove\nComments\nJEB S.

As I get the analyses and data from the polling companies, I\nwill prepare a summary memo with my conclusions and what I\nthink are the implications on our campaign for that state.\nI will send you (and Haldeman) these memos and a copy of the\npolling companies' analysis according to the following\nschedule below. I will not include the data but will have\nit here to answer any questions.\nBy February 7th\nIowa\nNorth Carolina\nNew Jersey\nPennsylvania\nArkansas (added onto Rockefeller poll)\nBy February 14th\nOhio\nIndiana\nMissouri\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nFirst Wave Polling Results\nJanuary 31, 1972\nPage 2\nBy February 21st\nVirginia\nNew York\nCalifornia\nOregon\nBy February 28th\nMaryland\nTexas\nTennessee\nNational oversample\nIt is possible that we will receive the data from the companies\na little earlier than they are committed for and, if so,we will\nbe able to accelerate our delivery schedule to you by a few\ndays. I will also keep you advised of any delay in their\ndelivery schedule to US.\n3. Once we have all the data we intend to do more comparative\nanalyses of the various states, some aggregate analyses of\ntypes of voters, and more statistical analysis. This will\nallow us to develop additional memos relating to a re-\nevaluation of target states, specific state campaigns, and\nseveral specific topics such as the President's image, the\nvarious issues, the opponents and their images, and the\nrelationship to these and voting behavior. The companies\nare submitting decks of IBM cards with their reports and I\nwill do this analysis at my office in Detroit where I have\na computer available with adequate programming capability\nand security proceedure.\nThe final item which needs your consideration is the dissemi-\nnation of the information. As expected, I have had numerous re-\nquests for data intermittenly and up to now have only reacted\nto other peoples' programs or ideas based on the data. From my\nexperience during the past few weeks, three people seem to have\nsome definite needs for information -- Bob Marik, for the prepa-\nration of campaign plans and direct mail; Pete Dailey for the\npreparation of advertising; and Harry Dent. I attend meetings\nfrequently where the data we have should influence decisions\nthat are made and I think it is important that I be able to\ndiscuss our findings with them or that we set up a proceedure to\nget the data to them.\nRais\nROBERT M.

Chotiner\nSpecial Counsel to the President\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nwashington, D. C.\nDear Mr. Chotiner:\nI am sure at this time that you are well aware of the William Loeb,\nManchester Union-Leader editorial of Friday, August 6th where 112.\nLoeb has declined to 30 along with President dixon based upon his\ndecision to visit mainland China. A copy of the story is enclosed\njust in case you hadn't seen it.\nIn view of this I wonder if we might not do a quick telephone sur-\nvey to measure opinion among Granite Staters on the issue, Mr. Loeh\nand the Union-Leader. I enclose a single page suggested question-\nnaire and we could do interviews in different sections of the State.\nI recommend that we complete 600 interviews covering the communities\nof Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Keene, Hanover and Portsmouth basing\nOUT sample in each community on population size. The complete cust\nfor this study would be $4,000.00 and we would provide the actual\ncomments of respondents interviewed. The study would be comparable\nto the one we did state-wide in Massachusetts for Margaret Heckler\nlast year.\nWe could start such a study the first of the week and complete it quite\nquickly if we got the go-ahead from you OF others in authority. by\nquestionnaire is just a suggested one and you might want to make some\nchanges, deletions, etc. I might add that form years ago when I worked\nwith a Detroit based group we asked these questions about :r. Ioeb, who\nyou know is a factor here in the Granite State. Whereas I only assisted\nwith the field work I just didn't see the responses to these questions.\nI should be very happy to hear from you when you have a chance to read\nthis letter and we could proceed insediately. I am certain that WC\ncould come up with some current thinking of New Harpshire residents.\nI will be ever so appreciative if you will keep my services in mind.\n2\nSincerel: yours,\nEJN:ebw\nEncl:\nSUGGESTED TELEPHONE OPINION POLL\nGood morning, good afternoon, good evening - My name is Mrs.\nof\nNoonan Market Research and I am conducting a telephone poll here in New Hampshire\nand wonder if you will be kind enough to answer a few questions for me.
