MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN MITCHELL
H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
PAT BUCHANAN
With the great success of McGovern and subsequent pullout of
Muskie, the chances of a McGovern nomination are immensely
improved. Thus, we must do as little as possible, at this time,
to impede McGovern's rise.
Though he may act irresponsibly and make wild attacks, we
should, by and large, resist the temptation and leave him alone.
Vietnam is the exception. He can be hit hard on this subject --
a point which not only elevates his candidacy but also gets the
President's position restated while reinforcing the strong anti-war
sentiment behind McGovern.
On the other hand, the ammunition which will be our stock in the
campaign -- the extremist, radical labels; the pro-amnesty and
pro-abortion positions; the radical chic; the gut-the-military
attitude; etc. -- should be held in abeyance until we are reasonably
sure McGovern has the nomination.
The temptations will be high in many quarters to go after
McGovern, but word ought to go out to lay off with but few excep-
tions. We have plenty of time to attach labels later, and the same
labels which will defeat McGovern for the Presidency are the
same labels which could prevent him from getting the nomination.
Let's not do Hubert's work for him.

MEMORANDUM FOR RON WALKER
FROM: KEN KHACHIGIAN De
I'm surprised you haven't written Jerry Bruno a letter
congratulating him on his political know-how as evidenced in
his book, "The Advance Man. 11 Hell, can't you get him to
put his extreme skill to work for the other Democratic
candidates. Maybe he'll do as well with them as he did with
Lindsay, and then there would be no opposition for the
President in November.
P.S. -- please line up the President to spend some night
on a steelworker's couch in Toledo, Ohio around next October.
Good idea, huh?
