MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
October 30, 1972
5:30 pt m.
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
VIA:
DWIGHT L. CHAPIN
FROM:
STEPHEN BULL
RE:
Presidential Telephone Calls
Bill Timmons sent a recommendation that the President make telephone
calls to State Managers and key State Senate candidates during the week
of October 30 for the purpose of getting out the vote and endorsing selected
candidates. I was subsequently informed that the President will make
telephone calls.
The matter has been discussed with Chuck Colson and Bill Timmons and
the following plan is offered:
There are three priorities:
(a)
The principal 13 key States.
(b)
Non-key States with Senate races.
(c)
Non-key States with Gubernatorial races.
In key States where there is a Senate race, the President would place a call
to the Senate candidate where appropriate, e.g., he would call Griffin in
Michigan but would not call Case in New Jersey--the call would be placed
to the CREP Chairman. In cases where he calls a candidate, the call serves
a dual purpose: endorse the candidate and get out the vote. Where there is
no candidate it is just get out the vote.
In States where we are laying low on a Senate or Gubernatorial race, e.g.,
Blount in Alabama, the call goes to the CREP Chairman and is purely get
out the vote.
The individual being called, particularly in the first priority (key States)
would be advised in advance of the approximate time of the President's
telephone call and the individual would be encouraged to have Press coverage
of him receiving a call from the President. This would obviously serve to
achieve the objective of the endorsement and/or get out the vote message.
The Eastern States would be done before the Western.
Following is a breakdown of the States and specific individuals to be called:

There would be three brief texts prepared for the President's use, one
that contains the message of get out the vote, one for a call to a CREP
Chairman, and one for a call to a candidate.
Individual call sheets would be prepared that would contain the necessary
information about the thrust of the call and refer the President to the
appropriate talking points. Make them very built
non
The talking points would be prepared by Ray Price, the Senate candidate
calls by Timmons/Dent, and the CREP calls by MacGregor, with all of the
aforementioned ultimately cleared through Chuck Colson. For those to
receive a scheduled call, the individual to be contacted would be notified
by the individual who prepared the briefing paper. I will prepare the
schedule of calls.
