MEMORANDUM FOR BOB HALDEMAN
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Sometime ago I pointed up the importance of
unmasking Muskie's moderate image and I urged that this
particularly be done in the South.
In talking to Billy Graham Sunday he came
at this point very strongly and said that Muskie was becoming
increasingly acceptable in the South because most southerners
thought that he was a moderate, both domestically and in the
field of foreign policy.
The purpose of this memorandum is two-fold:
What happened to the suggestion that I made
with regard to getting the true facts across in the South
And, second, can we put somebody on this
project now who will follow through on it effectively ?
Dent, of course, can be helpful, but I was
thinking of somebody on the PR side like Buchanan. And, of
course, everything should be worked through Nofziger and Dole.
The Muskie record, for example, voting against both Haynsworth
and Carswell; his record of opposition on Cambodia and supporting
peace groups generally; and anything else that might be helpful
in getting the true picture across in the South should be developed
as effectively as possible.

everything should be worked through Nofziger and Dole. The Muskie
record, for example, XXXXXXX voting against both Haynswort and
Carswell; his record of opposikon- opposition on Cambodia and
supporting peace groups generally; and anything else that might be
helpful in getting the true picture across in the South should be
develOped as effectively as possible.
