MEMORANDUM FOR
Bob Haldeman
On the political side, I would like you to follow
up with Billy Graham in his work with Negro ministers
across the country. He feels this is our best chance to
make inroads into the Negro community. I am inclined
to agree with him. The professional Negro radicals simply
can't be for us any more than the white radicals can be
for us. Just as we are trying to appeal to our own
constituency among the whites, we should remember that
there is a similar constituency, although eminently
smaller, among Negroes. Let's not overlook them in
attempting to pander to the radicals - black or white.

MEMORANDUM FOR
Bob Haldeman
I want you to discuss with Connie Stuart using
Tricia more - where she is willing to do it - for non-
political appearances, particularly where they involve TV.
For Example, where someone wants me to go on the air
for the cancer drive or the heart fund drive, have Tricia
do it. My attitude here is reflected by my reaction to
the silly television ads in which the President of a
company goes on TV instead of a good actor or actress
doing the commercial. Tricia is extremely effective and
I think with a little coaxing will do more.
Also as we get further along in the campaign
year - in very selective races - I think she would be
willing to make a political appearance. Generally speaking,
however, there should be a rule that she makes no appear-
ance unless there is TV coverage. For example, when she
or anyone else visits Chicago, we should never fail to get
a spot on the Kupcinet show and the same applies to other
good local shows where we are likely to get a better break
than from the networks.
Pm
Richard Nixon
