MR. KLEIN
FROM:
H.R. HALDEMAN H
Would you please undertake, as a special project, liaison
with Billy Graham and his people.
He was enormously helpful to us in the Border South
in 1968 and will continue to be in 1972, but we need
to have someone in charge of this organizational
activity at an early date. For example, in going after
our breakthrough in the Catholic front we have to
remember that our primary source of support will be
among the fundamentalist Protestant, and we can
probably substantially broaden that base of support.

SUBJECT:
Man to Man Coverage (P1051H)
I have not by any means completed a man to man coverage program;
nor am I sure I can without guidance from you. We need to discuss this
to determine just what you would like to accomplish.
We have in our contact books now over 3000 people -- one way or another
we maintain liaison by use of the phone call technique or mailings. In
other words, they hear from us from time to time with the most personal
contacts concentrated on the most influential in each category. Addition-
ally, we seek out boards and commissions as well as social invitations
for the real prime movers.
As I understand your memo, you are looking for something much more
than this -- you want to be certain that every major person in every
major field of endeavor has a principal point of contact here and that
someone here on the staff is assigned the responsibility of keeping
regular and effective liaison with that person. Correct?
The names of the people with whom we should keep in contact are pretty
well included in our books. The staff assignments are something that
I think you and I should talk about although, as you will see from the
attached, I have taken a first rough cut at the proposition.
What has become apparent to me after drafting the attached is that we
are not organized internally to do this very well. Getting the names of
the people and groups outside is relatively simple; we have most of them
now. The problem is (1) to decide who, in house, takes the responsibility
in each area, (2) get talent where it is now missing (as with the media),
(3) be certain that each assignment is fixed by you (I can coordinate, but
I can't assign it out) and (4) be sure there is active follow-up.
Hence, I conclude that we need a fairly thorough discussion after you've
read the enclosed.
CATEGORY
STAFF LIAISON
A. 50 Top Contributors
Roger Johnson has been assigned by me the
function of regularly stroking this list -- phone
calls whenever there is something important;
seeing to it that they are invited to functions,
that mailings go out, etc. The hope is that when
the top contributors have problems, they will call
Roger. There are two exceptions -- Cashen has
developed a very close relationship with Mulcahy
and O'Hara which he will continue. I have developed
a close relationship with Clem Stone (which proves
that I will do anything for the cause.) We are also
sending longer, personalized, substantive letters
to each on current topics from time to time.
B.
Top 180 Contributors
George Bell has this list and monitors it to be
($25, 000 and above
certain they receive calls, commissions and
list)
appointments. He has been working with Al
Kaupinen in Flemming's office; most of those
people have had something by now. Rose Woods
has taken care of them on dinner lists but it will
continue to be one of the most actively used lists
but to a lesser degree than (A) above.
C.
Contributors of $5000
There are approximately 400 people who contributed
or more
$5000 or more to RN in the 168 campaign. This list
has not been scrutinized. George Bell will take this
responsibility on and try to arrange for some form
of recognition and, obviously, communication by
mail and phone calls from time to time.
D. Major Special Interest
Cashen and I are on top of this one. We have in the
Groups
course of the past year established liaison with prob-
ably every major trade association and/or special
interest group of any consequence; some we meet
with frequently, others only on occasion. This is
a continuing part of this operation that has gone
quite well. We have kept accurate records of what
we have done for them and they for us and they are
a resource that can be continually employed by us.
E.
Labor
Bell and I have this, coordinating with Usery. You
know the story in this area very well and it need not
be repeated here. We do need help to do this one
thoroughly. Suffridge is my candidate as you know.
Senior Citizens Groups
You have asked for a separate plan on this which
will be in shortly. We have had some limited con-
tact in this office; Finch obviously would be a good
point of contact as well. This should be a major
assignment of someone which I will try to detail
in a separate proposal.
G.
Organized Ethnic
Bell and I have been working all of the organized
Groups
groups, in close coordination with Laszlo Pasztor
of the National Committee; Laszlo does an excellent
job of identifying ethnic leaders. We also have a
good breakdown of the top ethnics in each group
which we are cultivating individually with appoint-
ments and social invitations. Kaupinen has been
very cooperative in this effort. We have a govern-
ment-wide task force operating under John Volpe
to expand ethnic appointments. We also have a
special publicity apparatus which has been very
effective.
H.
Business Leaders
Our business and banking contact books are in top
shape. We use them frequently; there has been a lot
of contact with the business community. Peter
Flanigan also has his own contacts, which are exten-
sive. Maury Stans does an excellent job communica-
ting with the business community. We try to keep
coordination among the three of us with weekly
meetings. We will be working Roger Johnson more
and more into this area as much as we can.
I.
Political Leaders:
Governors
I would think Bob Finch should handle this after the
other staff changes have been made. Dent can also
be used in this area. I can assist in the Northeast.
Rumsfeld could also be plugged in, perhaps with
Rockefeller. Reagan is a separate problem.
Congress
MacGregor and Timmons will have to divide this up
in their office with help as appropriate from other
members of the staff who have particularly good
personal relations with certain Members. This area,
that is, the use of staff members, has not been parti-
cularly well explored. I have had a special relation-
ship with Brooke, Prouty, Jennings Randolph and a
few others; I am sure that there are other members
of the staff who can be used in the same way but the
legislative office will have to decide how to assign
this out.
Political leaders
(continued)
State and Local
This is a problem area. As I understand it,
Chairmen
you want Dent to cover the South but he will
continue to be besieged by party officials who are
used to talking to him. There will be no way to
shun them off to the National Committee; nor
should they be. They should have a point of
contact within the White House. Moving the
politics out of the White House is fine but we
have to recognize that every state chairman feels
he has a "right" to call here on patronage, etc.
We will create huge problems if we now tell them
not to bother us but to talk only to the National
Committee.
J.
Media
This area needs much better organization. Herb
Klein keeps in touch with the editors and publishers
largely on an ad hoc basis and, to the best of my
knowledge, there is not a regular contact system.
No one in Herb's office works on this.
The Washington press corps is seriously neglected.
Nofziger, Buchanan, Safire and others have individual
contacts but we should have at least one person who
knows most of the Washington corps and can at least
be a source of intelligence if not of getting our line
out. While I realize that the Washington press corps
is our enemy, there are a lot of them who can be
cultivated on particular issues. There are also a
lot of smaller independents (like the Larrabee chain--
30 newspapers -- some very influential) that no one
here has made any effort to cultivate or work with.
A further problem is that we do very little with the
radio and TV commentators.
The problem here, as I see it at least, is that no
effort has been made to assign on a man to man or
group to group basis, the contact and cultivation of
friends or neutrals we can use in the press corps.
I can give you many, many examples when on certain
issues even our enemies become responsive if we
work them properly. I got Charles Bartlett to write
some very positive stuff during the campus disorder
episode. The Boston Globe has been critical of the
Media (continued)
Washington press corps because of Moynihan's
talks with them. Oberdorfer did a beautiful piece
this week because Jeb spent two hours talking to
him. The point here, I think, is that someone
should do a complete analysis of the composition
of the media and assign within the White House
the responsibility of dealing with each element
in an orderly, regular way. This will require
a number of people now on the staff spending
some time in this area and perhaps even the
addition of more people to the staff -- in my
opinion an essential investment, however.
K. Religious Leaders
George Bell now has excellent contact books on
and Prominent
religious leaders and laymen and we are using
Laymen
them for regular cultivation. This has so far been
one of our most productive areas.
Flanigan and I have worked the Catholic community
reasonably well -- both organized church leaders
and laymen.
Herb Klein has excellent contacts with the Lutherans
(he is a member of their congress) and we have used
him for this.
George Bell, aided by Fred Rhodes at VA, who 1S
a Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention,
work the Baptist community well.
The hard core anti-catholic groups (Masons, Sep-
aration of Church and State Leagues) are a prob-
lem to us because we are on the other side of the
issue so far as they are concerned. I have talked
to Bob Finch about his working with this group.
This is going to require some follow-up. I am
useless here since I wrote the letter to the Catholics
that has this group up in arms.
Norman Vincent Peale has been very useful.
L.
Youth
You have read the Finch/Colson game plan. If our
ideas make any sense, we will need someone on the
White House staff to coordinate youth activities.
We can take it on in this office but would need some-
one additional for it.
M. Cities, Counties,
We are beginning a regular program of meeting
Municipalities, etc.
with the lobbyists of the Governors Conference,
County Associations, League of Cities, etc. We
will try to hold monthly meetings, having the right
staff man from the White House present depending
on the issues that are timely. John Price has been
very active in this area but without any political
sensitivity. There are a number of key mayors --
Yorty and Lugan are two examples -- as well as
county officials who can be enormously influential.
Responsibility for working with perhaps the top
50 to 100 in this category should be assigned
to someone, perhaps Rumsfeld.
N.
Key Man Organization
LeTendre is off and running, so far like a 5 ton
buffalo. This has great potential.
O.
Minority Groups
Garment and Bob Brown have this -- I don't
(i. e., Spanish and
know much about the operation.
Black)
P.
Economists
A very sensitive area in view of the state of the
economy. Paul McCracken with some prodding
from us has been meeting with the small business
economists. He has, of course, a good continuing
relationship with business and academic economists.
We might consider asking Paul for an analysis of
the economic community -- friends and enemies, etc.
Q.
Lawyers
We are just cranking this one up. We have 25 or so
good ones around the country that we are working
into our contact program but we will have to do
much more.
R.
Celebrities
You have Cashen's game plan. This one simply
requires careful, deliberate cultivation -- and a
lot of help from outside friends like Keyes.
S.
Academicians
With help from Bill Baroody, our books are now in
excellent shape and, as you may have noticed, every
social list has had 4 or 5 good ones included. We
are also making progress on commissions. Finch
should be a focal point here withour office giving
him the mechanical back-up. I think a great deal
more needs to be done but to be credible contact
here in the White House has to be Finch's office.
I have no idea what they are doing in this area.
T. Intellectuals
We are in rather sad shape in this department
and will be even worse off when Moynihan leaves.
Sidney Hook, whom the President has quoted more
than any other intellectual in the country, tells me
that I am the only person he has talked to in the
White House and I hardly qualify for the intellectual
fraternity. This is a very special area. There are
probably 10 to 15 great minds on our side that we
should be using constantly -- the Kristols, Hooks,
Druckers (even Al Capp -- one of the great contem-
porary humorists). Marty Anderson could handle
this if he were staying in the White House. Some-
one in Ray Price's office could do it also. I know
a very bright, young Jewish Democrat who is
sympatico with us and really knows the intellectual
talent around the country; he could be brought in for
this assignment although he doesn't have the stature
of a resident intellectual. Sometime ago you asked
me to comment on a Moynihan memo. It was so
confused that I am not sure that I every really
understood it and you have, hence, not had my
comments. He did make one point very effectively --
the need for intellectual coherency in the Admin-
istration programs, and more importantly, the
need to get away from what Pat was trying to tell
us is our anti-intellectual bias.
In short, we have a large void which ought to be
filled. Unlike all other categories described above,
the intellectual community cannot be effectively
exploited by conventional, political contact and
cultivation.
These intellectuals, who are moderate to conser-
vative, could be extremely valuable assisting in our
speech writing, contributing ideas and writing our
line independently in a very scholarly fashion.
U. Regional Breakdown
Dent has the South and will be responsible for
southern political leaders as well as developing
favorable attitudes in the South; I assume Finch
will do this in California. I can certainly do it for
New England and possibly the Northeast. You should
decide who will be looking after the other areas.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. HERBERT G. KLEIN
FROM:
H.R. HALDEMAN
Would you please develop a plan to increase the number of
effective appearances for Tricia, Julie and David on television.
Lately it is felt that we put too much emphasis on columns and not
enough on television.
Julie is a very good television personality and with some intelligent
handling, both she and Tricia can be very effective. Lately we have
been too concerned about columns - probably as a result of the fact
that we sit here and read the columns day after day and become
obsessed with the idea that they are the media to use to get our
side across. We will always lose trying to do that unless we constantly
try to play a game of going over the heads of the columnists to the
people.
I would like to see your plan by December 9.
cc: Mrs. Stuart

WASHINGTON
December 22, 1970
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
HERBERT G. KLEIN Hut Klei
There is no question but that Tricia and Julie and David
can bc very effective on TV and that they have been.
There is a real question of availability, as posed in
Connie Stuart's memorandum. Assuming, though, that they
will be available -- at least at times -- I would propose
a discussion with them to see what of the following formats
they might like.
Please indicate any comment you would like to make alongside
these proposals:
Late Night Shows
If either or both of the girls are in the Los Angeles area,
I think they would be excellent on the Merv Griffin Show.
This still has a wide audience, although it does not play
in the Washington, D. C. area. It's second rate is Carson.
If David is available on a weekend to be in New York, he
and Julie would be excellent on the Carson show.
In both cases, I think the program could be oriented to
discussion of family life in the White House, the President's
concern for people and the outlook of these young people
toward the world.
Entertainment Programs
If there is agreement to consider this, I think there is a
possibility of having Julie and/or Tricia appear on some of
the regular entertainment shows. These could range from an
Ed Sullivan introduction to one of the programs featuring
major entertainment with appeal to young people. These are
taped considerably ahead of time so that we would have to
move fairly quickly and I would select those seeming most
-2-
likely for their consideration. We havenot done this and
it has strong possibilities.
-Sesame Street is widely considered the best children's show
on TV, and guest stars appear regularly to read or count for
children. With her background as a teacher, Julie would be
a natural for this.
If Julie is agreeable to consider this, Al Snyder should
discuss this with Sesame Street regarding the natural role
for her.
-David Frost has been most cooperative and has interviewed our
people fairly. I think a combination of Tricia and Julie
would be effective here and we could arrange to have at least
an hour of air time.
-David and Julie were treated well by Barbara Walters recently
on the Today Show. Tricia might consider going on next.
Daytime Shows
These shows have a smaller audience, but one or two might be
interesting and they do reach a different portion of the American
public.
When we are speaking of smaller audiences, we are still speaking
in the more-than-one-million category. Two ideal ones might
be Mike Douglas, which is taped in Philadelphia, and Dinah Shore,
which is taped in Los Angeles.
In looking at all this, I think that the President's family's
objective would be to show the truly human quality of the
President of the United States and to give the American public
some insight on how the White House works, from their point of
view.
