Wednesday, June 03, 2015 Page 1 of 1 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON EYes ONLY August 25, 1972 Kenj Check Car data CTR you his? 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. MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 5, 1971 MEMORANDUM FOR: CHUCK COLSON Que 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.
