THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 28, 1972
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
SUBJECT:
Tricia & Julie
Travel Arrangements
You wanted to make sure that Julie and Tricia have
their travel arrangements set up so that any travel
they do in this country that's personal is billed
to the President for payment by him.
I spoke to Rose Woods about this request and she
has worked out a system with the Military Aide's
Office whereby bills for personal travel are for-
warded to her and she in turn sends them to Herb
Kalmbach to be paid out of the President's private
funds. This is the same system that was set up be-
fore we switched to having the Committee pick up all
travel for the girls.
Rose again raised the point about how expensive this
will be if Julie and Tricia and Ed continue to travel
as extensively as they did earlier this year. Rose
agreed to raise this point with the. President pointing
out what the cost will be and encouraging him to talk
to the girls about travelling less.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 1, 1972
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
BOIL
SUBJECT:
Election Night Plan
I. Presidential Participation - - Chapin has forwarded a plan
on this. A lot will depend on when or if McGovern concedes.
The precedence of a candidate who has lost but refuses to
concede is being researched. Dwight will be dealing directly
with you on the President's schedule.
II. Programming Surrogates and Influencing the Vote from the
Shoreham -- Dwight Chapin claims that he "has covered all of this
with you" and that the only thing that will be coming over is
a rough schedule of surrogate appearances. Just to double check,
the following is my understanding from Dwight on how that portion
of the program will be handled:
Dick Moore and Chapin, located in Chapin's
office will be directing the Shoreham pro-
ceedings via a direct line to Carruthers
based on input from you, the President, and
data collected here. Bruce Herschensohn
will control the Eidaphor screen in the
Main Ballroom, and Mark Goode will be
working with the surrogates and network
people.
Because of the uncertainty of an election,
the program will not be as structured as
that produced in Miami, however, there will
be a rough scenario.
III. Data Collection at the White House -- The collection system
at the White House is based on the following assumptions:
The networks will have the best and quickest
system for collecting actual results -- we
should not try to duplicate them.
We can, however, check their results against
our contacts in specific areas.
-2-
We can obtain soft data on "opinions"
from our political contacts as well as
answers to specific questions from the
President.
We can get "subjective" opinions on turn-
out early in the day from selected precincts
and counties as well as early results from
precincts or counties of special interest to
the President because of their location (e.g.
Philadelphia) or because of their particular
demographics.
Note: Because of redistricting, there is almost
no comparable data at the precinct level and in
the few cases where it is available it will be
shown.
Keep as few people as possible here at the
White House without sacrificing speed in
obtaining information.
The system will be set up much like our follow-up operation to
speeches -- with people phoning information directly to
secretaries here who can transcribe it.
The Control Center will be in Bill Timmons' office where desks
with typewriters will be set up to receive the information. Also,
this is where all information will be collected and checked before
forwarding to you through Gordon Strachan.
The following information will be available:
P=Presidential; S=Senate; H=House; G=Governor

sources.
The plan is to have a selected list of contacts called from the
combined lists of the RNC, 1701, Bob Teeter, Harry Dent, Bob
Finch, Bill Timmons and Herb Klein. These people would be contacted
by a small group of area liaison people in Timmons', Finch's, and
Rumsfeld's offices.
-4-
Each would be responsible for a specific area:
Teeter -- Midwest
Dent -- South
DeBolt -- East
We are looking for someone to cover the West and Rocky Mountain
states. Do you have any thoughts?
The lists are being compiled and will be checked for duplications
before cob, Saturday.
Other information to be gathered at the Shoreham and forwarded
to the White House by computer terminal.
Reports on district totals for 50
selected target Congressional districts.
Special area analyses which may in-
clude state offices, mayorial races,
and state legislative reports not
available on network TV.
A source for answers to questions on
vote turnout, demographics, '68 Presi-
dential totals, facts on previous
elections.
Specific contact by CRP for Presidential
totals from 300 major counties with CRP
headquarters.
Current state reports on Senate, Governor,
selected House races.
Report Formats

again, copies xeroxed from master at 15 minute

Each report would have space for 10-15 results if done on legal
paper sideways. Putting all 50 on- 4-5 sheets we could xerox
copy from master kept by man in charge of TV group.
A complete telephone plan will follow as well reports on other
details as they are finalized.
