MEMORANDUM FOR:
PAT BUCHANAN
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
As reported in the New York Times on August 6, Sargent
Shriver was a member of the "America First" movement
on the Yale campus. I have also learned that he, after
graduation from Yale, spent a considerable amount of
time in Europe, specifically in Germany, where he showed
distinctly pro-German sentiments. Of course, so did
Joseph Kennedy, his future father-in-law. It seems to
me this point is worth some exploration and then an evalua-
tion as to how, if at all, it could be used. It certainly ought
to shake up the Jewish community a little bit. When
McGovern goes around charging the President with being
a modern day Adolf Hitler, one might remind George McGovern
that his own Vice Presidential candidate was a sympathizer
with Hitler the murderer of 6 million Jews.

FROM:
KEN KHACHIGIAN
SUBJECT:
HUMPHREY
I gather from news stories that Yorty did not make use of
the Humphrey indictment on Vietnam we prepared. I hate
to see that one go to waste, and I was thinking of two
alternatives.
First, MONDAY will probably be ready to do another
piece on Hu mphrey soon, and they could easily use the
one we prepared. With an accompanying press release
I think it would make substantial news.
Second, we could ask a Congressman to deliver it, some
conservative who isn't tied by Senatorial courtesy. While
in itself it wouldn't make a whole lot of news, we could
probably get Human Events to reprint excerpts from the
address, and then have the Young Republican press service
send the speech out to college newspapers as well.
