RECOMMENDATIONS

group
- 6 -
Miscellaneous
1) Paul Keyes - He should not be behind the Platform as
Chapin at one time suggested. Instead, he should
probably be at Miami Beach writing quips that can be
fed to various people during the Convention.
2) Bill Timmons will have a plan of alternate program-
ming, press conferences and caucus teams.
3) Timmons is having a problem with Ehrlichman and Rose
regarding a list of spokesmen at the Platform but
believes they can resolve the matter.
4) Reagan should not be the introducer of the President
because he is Temporary Chairman.
5) Rockefeller will nominate the President and he is
locked.
6) Bob said that Ed Brooks should not be the Moderator
as that would be too obvious, but he should have a
role in the panel of keynoters.
7) Concerning Dick Lugar, Bob mentioned that he should
probably be included in the panel.
8) Concerning Governor Evans, there was general agree-
ment that he might be useful because he will read
a script given to him.
9) Bob noted that Bush cannot be used. Neither can
Red Blount per Haldeman and Bob jabbed at Timmons
for making such a stupid suggestion.
10) When Timmons mentioned that there were very few
ethnics and women, Bob suggested that Timmons work
directly with Balzano and Franklin to get this worked
out.
11) Concerning the Heritage Gala on Sunday night, Bob
suggested that Mrs. Nixon attend while the girls
do the regular Gala.

SUBJECT:
Convention
Attached to this memorandum you will find two memos.
One is a critique of our present Convention program by
Tex McCrary. It is felt that Tex is overly critical of
the Convention plan and, in particular, overreacting to
Reagan and Anne Armstrong. It is attached just so you
will be aware of his thinking. Undoubtedly he is right in
terms of some of the feel of our present program since he
has no idea as to what alternate programming is planned.
Also attached is a Nation co D. copy of the memorandum which Safire
sent you today. It plays off the conversation he had with
phil remote
Howard K. Smith. The main point here being that the
President's and Vice President's acceptance speeches
should be on different nights.
3
nems
Dick Moore and I met with Garment, Scali and Safire this
morning in order to discuss Safire's recommendation that
the President and Vice President speak on separate nights.
After considerable discussion I think we are all in unanimous
consent that we should put the Vice President's nomination and
acceptance speech on the second evening.
We would recommend the following alterations in the program:
TUESDAY NIGHT
Main Elements:
1.
Opening of Convention.
2.
Possible series of Democratic speakers urging other
Democrats to support the President.
2
TUESDAY NIGHT (Cont'd):
3.
Nomination of the President by Rockefeller.
4.
Seconding Speeches.
5.
Demonstration as the President goes over the top
6.
Cutaway to President departing White House and brief
interview on the South Grounds as he boards helicopter.
He would state his pleasure at being renominated, state
that he is looking forward to addressing the Convention
delegates the next evening.
7.
The Vice President's nomination.
8.
Acceptance speech by the Vice President.
Note:
This will make a long evening. If we roll along and cut
back our demonstration times, we should be able to get
the Vice President on the air at 11:00 or 11:15 p. m. EDT.
The one element which has been moved out of the
evening activities is the film on Nixon, the Man which
we will put the evening of the acceptance speech.
WEDNESDAY EVENING
Main Elements:
1.
The Opening.
2.
Film -- Nixon, the Man.
Pretty
3.
Introduction of the President. (It has been suggested that
perhaps we use a nonpolitical figure. We're trying to
determine who that could be.)
4.
President's acceptance speech.
Note:
We would hope that this session would not begin until
around 9:00 p.m. with the President's speech coming
around 9:45 p.m.

2.
We should find/of our new and more upcoming types to work
on the Convention. We need to get a list of the comers.

3.
Reagan is still extremely popular even though he may be
weak in California. He has not appeared on national television
in a long time and can be very powerful at our Convention but
he should not be overused. If he's going to be the Temporary
Chairman, he should not be the Presidential introducer,
age
4.
Scali informed us that he has intelligence from the network
people that he's talked to that they' re taking some of their
better reporters and putting them on the demonstration
activities for the Republican Convention. He says they expect
there will be more trouble and want to cover it with their
better people.
5.
We should have a Democrats for Nixon news conference,
maybe on two different days in Miami.
Right.
6.
There is some concern over using the young girl from
South Carolina as one of the three main keynote speakers.
It is felt that we should do a survey of State Legislature
women around the country to find the most articulate
woman spokesmen we can find who is a Republican. Right
now we have a Governor, a Senator, a Mayor, and if we
can get a State Legislator type it would fit perfectly.
7.
There is some concern over Sammy Davis, Jr. Garment
and Moore feel that he's wrong and does not represent our
constituency. It is felt that he would be misinterpreted by
some of our constituency. They feel he should not do the
National Anthem but that if he did one song like "This is
My Country" or "My Country 'Tis of Thee" that it would be
fine. We may try to work him in the program that way.
The other suggestion was to use him as a seconder.

8.
No one can be found that's for having Kate Smith in the
program. We have dropped that idea unless you want to
dictate that she should be in the program.

SUBJECT:
Convention Impact
1. At the discussion of the convention program with both of you
during which I voiced the vehement objection to an opening impression
from which the President will have to struggle to escape, I have since
thoroughly reviewed every aspect and accent and focal point, every
headline, picture and caption that might come out of it, and this is my
summary judgement:
2. This is not Nixon's convention, it is Goldwater's. This is not the
Spirit of '76 or even '72 - it is '64 and '48. It is the convention that
produced the LBJ landslide, and Truman's upset of Tom Dewey.
3. It makes the McGovern convention by comparison look like
Oklahoma and South Pacific and My Fair Lady and Funny Girl and
Fiddler on the Roof.
4. The McGovern convention made rising stars; the Nixon convention
uses faded stars.
5. You vote that you open with a woman Ann Armstrong is not a
woman, she is fat cat Texas king ranch.
Wrong
6. The dominate name that hits the eye and ear first is Ronald Reagan,
who could not carry his own state even against Pat Brown this year. In
the year when George Wallace made tax reform an issue with as much
sex appeal as busing, Ronald Reagan comes through still as the millionaire
governor who paid no state taxes.
True
7. Reagan will overshadow the only black face in the opening line-up,
Ed Brooke who is scarcely a hero to blacks and has been often as
maverick as Javits.
Ao
what
-2-
8. In the year where there is a chance that the President can crack
the critical Jewish vote in the key cities, the only Jew prominent in the
line-up of your convention is Sammy Davis, Jr. -- who will be remembered
throughout the South as a black who married a white girl and then dis-
carded her. And you have him singing the National Anthem! Why not
Sinatra, whom somebody wanted to take to Moscow.
agree
9. In a year when with the help of the Jewish vote and the split in
labor, you might crack Chicago and Los Angeles and Miami and New York
City, the only voice of the cities is lost behind Reagan and Brooke in the
key-note quartet Mayor Luger of Indianapolis. And labor is as
speechless here as in McGovern's show. good point
10. When Dwight said that "We have to work Goldwater in somewhere, 11
he needn't worry Barry is already everywhere, the spirit of '64.
11. It is true that you have a touch of class in Jimmy Stewart and
even Clint Eastwood and Johnny Cash; and nostalgia in John Wayne and
even Pat Boone; and both class and nostalgia in Mamie Eisenhower
but from the opening shot of this monumental bore, I keep expecting to
see Bob Doe or Ronald Reagan introduce Jimmy Hoffa and Harold Janine
and Carswell and Haynsworth and Martha Mitchell and Hedda Hopper and
all the other grinning ghosts working to help McGovern win in the closing
week of '72 as Humphrey was winning at the finish in '68.
12. The feel and smell of this Nixon convention of '72 is frighteningly
reminiscent of the euphoria that beat Tom Dewey - - I stayed for Dewey's
closing Madison Square Garden. rally in '48 and watched in horror an
audience walk out on his speech and next day on NBC I said, "Last night,
Tom Dewey lost the elction. 11
13. The insensitivity of this spectacle is frighteningly reminiscent
of the insolated arrogance of the Taft gang, which we attacked in the
Madison Square Garden rally for Eisenhower in the winter of '52. And
in Chicago, starting with the young Texans I brought to that rally, Taft
was routed the way the McGovern gang took Humphrey and Wallace and
Muskie and Jackson and Meany and Daley. The same tide is rising again.
But for the Democrats.
-3-
14. Now I know why that battle cry for the '72 campaign came from --
"Nixon now more than ever" is "in your heart you know he's right", plus
8 and spelled backwards, but not in Hebrew.
15. Johnny Unitas in this line-up has only three pass receivers
Mamic and Pat and the President -- and nothing but holes in his pockets
to give him protection until he can get rid of the ball.
16. The President acceptance speech better be better than Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address and it better be full of quotes that will finally get
him into Bartlett's and give him a headline for the campaign equal to
"I never shoot blacks".
agree
17. And you better figure out a way fast to get Kissinger and Connally
into the Convention line-up; and get Agnew into black-face to play Jimmy
Brown.
18. Also "the only man who can beat Nixon is Nixon" now he can
add the architects of this convention to that list of one.
19. After the Peking trip, I wrote across the bundle of headlines:
"Look Out for Loose Boards". In this convention structure, it is hard
to find anything but loose boards.
20. In introducing Agnew at the Heritage Dinner I tried to make two
points: "Not since Disraeli has any immigrant Jew been brought to such
biblical power by any great power as Richard Nixon has given to Dr.
Henry Kissinger. In America no political party can become, or deserves
to become a majority party, until minoritics feel at home within it. 11 This
Nixon convention, as outlined, even to Archie Bunker is pure early
California WASP, Right parade.
21. In terms of show biz there isn't a belly laugh or a roar, not even
a chuckle or a knuckle in the whole lineup no sex, only X. In terms
of drama, no suspense, no gut emotion except Mamic, no encore! In
terms of news, no headlines. In terms of history, it is as sharply
focused and significant and electric as Dave Mahoney's plans for the
Bicentennial.
-4-
New Subject: Had a good meeting with three key guys on Agnew's staff -
Summers, Damgaard and Goodcarle. Based on working with them by
phone on the Zionist and Heritage Dinners, they seemed genuinely
hospitable, not at all resentful or suspicious at my office. To sit with
them from time to time for suggestions, review, and preview. They
accept even though Connally is my friend, I am not his man. As I
have suggested to Dick, perhaps the best way I can be helpful to all of
you from now on is to be helpful as I can to Agnew - - I think your boss
is going to need a very good fullback to score on the ground, the muddy
ground, until his instincts and scars tell him it is safe to put the ball in
the air.
New subject: Around John Price and Queens, which is Archie Bunker
country and the key to the New York State election, we will try to set up
a perfect prototype campaign for any strategic urban area. In that
territory Agnew will have more candle power than any movie star,
second only to the President, if the President comes into the climax.
My gut instinct and scars tell mc that this weird campaign will be won
in Hanoi, Wall Street, and other chancey places like Queens - - not on
Pennsylvania Avenue.

RE:
Convention Planning
The Convention plan should include a segment for speeches --
brief speeches -- by Democrats and Independents who will appear
by invitation of the Convention management. These should include
possibly John Connally, some Independents, youth, prominent
Governors, Senators, etc., who will make the point that they have
decided to support President Nixon's reelection because of the out-
standing job he has done because of his trip to China and Russia,
because he can't take McGovern, etc.
This should include the maximum number of Democrate, at least
one Chicano, and only one Black, some Italians and Polish, one
or two youth, but it should not go hog-wild on youth. It should be
done as a solid hour in order to get impact.
If we do a telethon, we should include some Democrate on that also,
We might even want to consider a prominent Democrat for a
seconding speech.

nice turn about. Also, Goldwater has been a loyal,
hard charger.
Crew prefers to lot the Vice Presidential candidate
use his acceptance speech as the introduction of the
President.
I would like to appeal this for several reasons:
1.
It runs the two acceptance speeches together and
is too long to hold TV audience.
2.
Does not give network as much time for station
breaks and commercials since the introducer
would also have a floor demonstration.
3. The Vice Presidential candidate would appear to
be "polishing the apple" too much if he introduced
the President.
4. We have no other good role for Barry Goldwater.
May I have your views on the President's introducer?
III.
KEYNOTER
We have planned a different format for the Keynoter this
year. One Moderator and three participants, each taking
a part of address. I recommended Ed Brooke as moderator
with Dick Lugar, Sherrie Shealey and George Bush as
participants.
However, it was felt that Ed Brooke would be better as
one of the participants but not the lead guy.
SENSITIVE
-.3-
How would you feel about Governor Ogilvie being keynoter
moderator with Lugar, Shealey and Brooke as participants?
We would have a governor, senator, mayor and state
representative. Also a Black, and a woman who is also
young (22).
You may want to discuss this with Crew this week.
IV.
THE VICE PRESIDENT
I will await signals on the status of Vice President Agnew.
Obviously, we will have to arrange nominations, seconding
addresses and introduction for our Veep candidate. Addi-
tionally, buttons, badges, signs, etc. will have to be
ordered.
However, are there any objections to planning a reception
in Agnew's honor, sponsored by the Re-Elect Miami Host
Committee? Regardless how the Vice President affair
turns out, a reception would be fitting I think.
If Agnew chooses not to run again, I assume we should
build him into the program. If Agnew decides to stay on
the ticket, what are chances of John Connally appearing
in some good Convention role?
Please advise soonest?
V.
CONVENTION ARRANGEMENTS
When you are settled in, I request two hours of your time
to give you a detailed brief on Convention planning: logistics,
staff, budget, operations, events, convention program,
platform, etc.
VI.
DEMOCRATS
Not necessarily connected with the convention but nevertheless
extremely important is an operation Mitchell, Ford, Brock
and I are undertaking to encourage selected incumbent
Democrats to publically support the President after McGovern
is nominated. This should have priority consideration now.
Jeb can fill you in on details.
SENSITIVE

VII.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Also please ask Jeb to fill you in on details for the
operations at the DNC Convention next week-end. This
operation will be publicized at some point and you will
surely be asked to comment.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
ED HARPER
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
Do I correctly assume that you are doing an analysis of the
Democratic Platform both as to cost and political impact? It
would seem to me if we analyse the Democratic Platform, it
will give rise to thoughts for our own where we want to draw
a contrast or alternatively where we want to duck an issue.
I noted with very special interest George Meany's comments
yesterday and he raised what is with labor a very key point, i.e.
the export of jobs. If you read Meany's remarks in full, you
will see that what he is saying is the Democratic Party should
be more concerned with American capital going abroad resulting
in exports of jobs than in such things as abortion, women's lib,
etc. In this area, I think we could do some very, very effective
demagoguing if we could write a plank that hits this issue head on.
It would not only ring bells with Meany, but would give Don Rodgers,
our labor man, something to really sell across the country. The
labor people don't understand the issue of "export of jobs" has
become something of a code word with labor, but that language
alone would be useful. Could you explore this and let me know
what the prospects are because there is an opportunity for real
political exploitation here.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
DWIGHT L. CHAPIN
SUBJECT:
Republican Convention
One of the big problems we are going to have at the Republican
Convention is to keep the television cameras centered on our
program from the platform. In other words, we are going to
stage our events in such a way as to know that the best television
and the television that we want on the air is going to come from
the podium.
It would seem that about halfway into the Democratic Convention,
it might be a good idea to start a telephone campaign to the
networks via Joe Citizen asking the networks why they keep
spotlighting everything except what's happening on the podium.
Say that they are distressed because the coverage the network
is offering does not focus on the actual proceedings. If they
are going to cover an event, then they should cover it
accurately and portray what's happening from the podium and
not try to create stories of their own. I see us putting calls
in to the network as well as getting letters written, etc.
If you agree with this plan, I will see that it is executed via
Colson's operation with Mitchell's approval.

May 18, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN MITCHELL
FROM:
WILLIAM E. TIMMONS
POT
SUBJECT:
'72 Convention
Host Committee
Tommy Thomas, Florida GOP and Re-Elect State Chairman, has
appointed Mr. and Mrs. J. Deering Danielson as co-chairman
for the President's Campaign Committee in Dade County. He
urges us to use them also as the Committee's Convention Host
Chairman believing the two jobs are complimentary.
I have met with the Danielsons and am impressed with their loyalty
to the President and dedication to a successful convention. However,
their political and campaign backgrounds appear limited, and they
have little appreciation of the tasks necessary to guarantee proper
convention operations. They are wealthy blue-bloods, a house in
Spain, Chairman of Trustees Art Center, etc. However, they do
know all the influential people in South Florida and seem eager
to undertake the additional responsibility.
11 is my recommendation that Mr. Danielson be named Conventi "
Host Chairman for the Re-Flection Committee and build 7 small
staff under him to perform the necessary functions. Specifically,
T would like to see Steve Nostrand be employed as Executive "
Director, Joyce Hooker (no mm!) as secretary with a number of
volunteer subcommittee bairmen for housing, transportation,
receptions, etc.
Stree is the 12 man in the Cham's of Complete e and may tale
leave of absence. He ill have in be compr neated. Hostrand
is also currently involved as a coiunteer with the Youth Division
of the Re-Elect Committee.
-2-
Joyce is a superb secretary with excellent skills, and is a tireless
worker. I have known her for ten years from the time she worked
on Capitol Hill and in the National Young Republicans. She has
attended many GOP Conventions and lives with her husband in
the Miami area.
Also, we can rent a three-bedroom apartment in the Octagon
Building immediately in front of the Convention hall and use it as the
office for the Host Committee. You may recall Nelson Rockefeller
used rooms in this building as his command post in 1968. During
the convention period, this facility can serve as Youth Headquarters.
The Danielsons should solicit other prominent Floridians to serve
on the committee. Individuals like the Frank Bormans, Jim
Geraghtys, Loren Berrys, Alvah Chapmans, Sam Higginbottoms,
Dr. Butari, etc.
I would hope the Host Committee could underwrite the expenses of
the office and staff which I estimate to be:
1.
Office rent, $1,000 for 3 months
$3,000
2.
Executive Director, $1,500 for 3 months
4,500
3.
Secretary, $900 for 3 months
