HALDEMAN FROM: BRUCE KEHRLI SUBJECT Election Night Plan I. Presidential Participation -- Chapin has forwarded a plan on this. A lot will depend on when or if McGovern concedes. The precedence of a candidate who has lost but refuses to concede is being researched. Dwight will be dealing directly with you on the President's schedule. II Programming Surrogates and Influencing the Vote from the Shoreham -- Dwight Chapin claims that he "has covered all of this with you" and that the only thing that will be coming over is a rough schedule of surrogate appearances. Just to double check, the following is my understanding from Dwight on how that portion of the program will be handled: Dick Moore and Chapin, located in Chapin's office will be directing the Shoreham pro- ceedings via a direct line to Carruthers based on input from you, the President, and data collected here. Bruce Herschensohn will control the Eidaphor screen in the Main Ballroom, and Mark Goode will be working with the surrogates and network people. Because of the uncertainty of an election, the program will not be as structured as that produced in Miami, however, there will be a rough scenario. III. Data Collection at the White House -- The collection system at the White House is based on the following assumptions: The networks will have the best and quickest system for collecting actual results -- we should not try to duplicate them. We can, however, check their results against our contacts in specific areas. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 1, 1972 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R.
