MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE STAFF SECRETARY
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
Action Memorandum #P-1974
New Hampshire Primary
Request
It was requested in Presidential Action Memorandum P-1974, taken
from the John Chamberlain article in Human Events, to get the line
out discouraging comparisons with the 1968 campaign as all of the
candidates except the President had withdrawn at the time of the
New Hampshire primary.
Response
All of our spokesmen going into New Hampshire as surrogate
candidates have been notified that we would be pleased if we receive
50% of the New Hampshire vote. Secretary Volpe used this figure
when he opened the New Hampshire campaign headquarters on
Thursday, January 13 and we will continue to use this figure (Volpe,
in his typical irrepressible way, added some Italian superlatives
which twisted the story somewhat).
All spokesmen will also use the line that the reason this is our
expectation is obviously because the President himself will not be
campaigning in the state and it is clear that Ashbrook would certainly
be expected to receive a significant percentage of the vote because of
Loeb and McCloskey because of intense personal campaigning. We
have asked these key spokesmen to refrain from making any compari-
sons with the 1968 campaign except to note that the President was then
unopposed.
