MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
Through the RNC we briefed the key assistants to
the key candidates across the country in conference
call at 8 PM. They were most grateful and immediately
began preparing good statements for the candidates.
They were told to make the most of this throughout
the campaign.
Glenn Beall was given a general briefing before a
debate with Tydings. He was going to support the
President without reference to the simultaneous
telecast. He liked the ideas very much.
Ray Harris, South Carolina Chairman, doesn't think
the plan will work because of his distrust of the
communists. He thinks this will help with the
elections and especially liked the POW proposal.
Sandy Lankler, Maryland Chairman: "Sensational.
If we can't make enormous political impact out of
this there is something wrong with us."
Bill Brock: "Terrific. Just great. It will be a
great help to us in Tennessee. It should be a help
everywhere. I could not be more pleased and encouraged
with the President's new peace iniative."
Bob Flanigan: "Proposals are fair and forthright."
However, he doesn't think the plan will work. He
thinks it might force Craig Barnes, a Democrat peace
candidate in Denver, a bit to the left.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
December 31, 1970
Dear Mr. President:
I hope this letter will not seem presumptuous, but it
reflects some thoughts I have had during the waning
days of 1970.
For me, the idea that you would make a great President
goes back to the time of your service in Congress, in
the Senate and, of course, as Vice President. I first
thought about it in 1948.
But I've now had a wonderful and intimate opportunity
to watch you perform for two years. Your performance
outmatches even the expectations of your proud friends.
After all these years, I am sure you know I don't
volunteer to say what I don't honestly mean.
I am proud to be a part of this team. And I think you
have assembled an organization which is outstanding.
One thing which always has stood out to me is your ability
to gather together those who were capable and dedicated
-- not just those seeking jobs. I know that all of us
consider it a privilege to assist you.
In the old days we used to say you had the wisdom, the
judgement, the capability and the creativity to be a
great President. Those observations have proved true
and it is great to watch you apply your philosophy and
principles to today's problems.
Your methodology as President has interested me -- your
ability to draw people out in conversation around the
Cabinet table or in your office. Your quickness to cut
to the heart of a subject is a rare talent. Your great
mental discipline appears to me to have given you the
ability to avoid the Johnson syndrome of being trapped
by trivia.
-2-
Finally, I'd like to say I know how proud you are of
your family and how well your three ladies represent
your Administration and our country. They are amazing,
and have retained their charm over these years. Marge
and my daughters feel the same way in this admiration
for Pat, Tricia and Julie.
All this leads up to wishing you the very best of New
Years. I'm sure it will be.
Sincerely,
Herbert G. Klein
The Honorable Richard M. Nixon
President of the United States
The White House
Washington, D.C.
