MEMORANDUM FOR :
MR. CHAPIN
MR. ZIEGLER
FROM :
H.R. HADDEMAN
SUBJECT :
Mrs. Nixon's Schedule
The President asked that we try to provide some help in
working out the planning of Mrs. Nixon's schedule - especially
on trips.
This arises from the Tulsa trip she took yesterday. As you
probably know, she left here at 7:45 in the morning and didn't
get back until 7:45 in the evening and apparently had five major
events in Tulsa during the day. Also, Page Belcher, who trapped
her into doing this to begin with, flew out with her and talked with
her all the way out and back on the plane.
The President's point is that we should work with Coral Schmid
on giving her some guidance on how to set this kind of thing up in
the way that we would set up a Presidential trip. Mrs. Nixon should
be committed to only one major event and perhaps one backup human
interest type event. She should not be run ragged during the day on a
trip like this. This will be difficult because she likes to work hard
on these things and tends to approve adding things to the schedule
and letting people come in to her with ideas for other things that
would be good to do.
We have to recognize, and make sure Coral does, that she can
only make one story out of the trip and as soon as she's done her
one main event and possibly the backup event - the story is made
and everything else is just wasted time and effort.
Also, we should give them some guidance on general planning.
She should never allow her host (such as Page Belcher this time)
to go out with her. He should go ahead of time and greet her on
2
arrival. This will avoid her being stuck with him on the plane
all the way. Also, she should not take press with her. There's
no need to have Washington press coverage of her trips. The local
wire services can cover for the national press and she'll get much
better coverage from a wire service reporter in Tulsa than she will
from the Washington wire service reporter going out with her. If
press want to go, they should have to go out independently and meet her
there. This will give her the chance to repla on the plane going back
and forth and will make these trips more enjoyable for her.
Trips of this sort should be planned for her on a one-day basis as
the Tulsa trip was. She should fly out and back the same day rather
than going out on a three day tour. She's more likely to accept one
day engagements and it's a better way for her to work than for her to
%° on the road and stay out for any extended period of time.

MEMORANDUM FOR :
MR. CHAPIN
FROM :
H.R. HALDEMAN
The President would like us to provide some guidance in schedule
planning for Mrs. Nixon. This is particularly important to get her
scheduled to Pennsylvania, Ohio, upstate New York, Illinois, etc.
We should work out a plan on this and provide some guidance to
Mrs. Nixon's office on a basis that will get her into the key states
with the kind of events that would be most productive.
Please put this plan together by May 25.
Due May 25
