Reeves Bunting to rmw
"Bob Mumma called me yesterday - very very confidentially and
asked if I would arrange an appointment for him with Murray Chotiner.
Mumma has been on a foreign trip with Ray Shafer for two weeks
Shafer wants very much to get a top job in Pennsylvania. I know they
tried earlier to get him to take a spot and get out so Broderick would
have more of a chance and he refused.
"I told Mumma that I would call and see if Chotiner could see him.
My main interest is seeing that some how -- it might be rather
difficult - but we must remember that we have to carry Pennsylvania
in 1972 and I can assure you that RAY SHAFER IS THE MOST
UNPOPULAR MAN IN PENNSYLVANIA THAT EVER EXISTED.
The people detest him. A year ago only 9% of the people in
Pittsburgh approved of what he was doing.
"Shafer told Mumma that the President said he would get him a good
job.
"Remember you owe Shafer absolutely NOTHING.
"Mc Cabe;s secretary told me that the offer of a job in Washington
which was given to Shaftr at one time - something similar to GSA
or something like that - at $40, 000 was turned down.
"I was assured by this girl in McCabe's office that no offer would
be forthcoming after the election.
"I think that if by any chance he should get a big job in Washington
with the Federal Government the reaction against the President among
thinking people in Pennsylvania would be one of disgust and it would
hurt him terribly.
"I am going to call MC and ask him if he will give Bob Mumma a
few minutes - but I would appreciate it if you would give MC this
background.
"This guy is poison in the state of Pennsylvania.
"Hugh Scott is a smart politician - whether people like him or not
he wins. A year ago I talked with Hugh - said things were getting
terrible in Harrisburg and told him I would like to help him.
"I was along with Hugh and he said to me "Reeves, Ray Shafer has
brought the Republican Party in Pennsylvania to its knees. " This
was a year and 1/2 ago."

Reeves Bunting called rmw -- conversation follows:
"Bob Mumma called me yesterday -- very very confidentially
and asked if I would arrange an appointment for him with Murray Chotiner.
"Mumma has been on a foreign trip with Ray Shafer for two
weeks - Shafer wants very much to get a top job. I know they tried earlier
to get him to take a job and let Broderick have the jump on running for
Governor - but, of course, he refused to do that.
"I told Mumma that I would call and see if Chotiner could see
him . My main interest is seeing that somehow they realize that we must
carry Pennsylvania in 1972 - I know they all realize that -- but I do not
know whether they realize that Ray Shafer is the most unpopular man in
Pennsylvania - the people detest him. A poll taken a year ago - only 9%
of the people in Pittsburgh approved of what he was doing.
"Shafer told Mumma that the President said he would get him
a good job.
"Remember -- the President and the Party and all of you --
owe Shafer absolutely nothing.
"McCabe"s secretary told me that the offer of a job in Washington
which was given to Shafter at one time - something similar to GSA or
some thing like that at $40,000 a year was turned down.
