MEMORANDUM FOR HARRY DENT
In the January 28 issue of the Washington Star Robert Walters
reported that the RNC, spending over $200, 000 last year for
computer work and mass media techniques, became the first
of the parties to commit itself to a substantial and continuing
program of applying such advanced techniques to its day-to-day
operation. The largest sum of the 1969 funds, at least $43,000
went to public relations firme headed by James Howard. His
firm was involved in analysing the impact of the GOP's
"Listening Post" operation.
On reading this the President noted that this just doesn't make
sense. He questioned what benefit we actually got from studies
such as the one done by James Howard. He feels it is vital
that we keep this type of wasted spending down.
JOHN R. BROWN III
