MEMORANDUM FOR:
LARRY HIGBY
FROM:
PATRICK E. O'DONNELL
SUBJECT:
Rose Mary Woods
My office and Barbara Franklin's have actively solicited Rose's
participation in any number of events. Unfortunately, but for
apparently legitimate reasons, we have received nothing but
"too busy" responses. She can be used in any number of forums
and media possibilities, but we must have her available.
As an example of a perfect situation for Rose, we had the oppor-
tunity to place her before the National Secretaries Association
Annual Meeting in Chicago between July 23-30. Her response
was simply that the demands of her job here at the White House
would not allow such an activity. Accordingly, to submit a
proposed plan listing target media centers or specific cites is
really superfluous if its done before we know that she knows
shh's available.
I have literally hundreds of invitations in key states and others
pending in my office, any one of which would be good for her. I
think that perhaps it might be wise for Mr. Haldeman or someone
of like stature to sit down with her and explain that she will be
expected to get out on the stump during the campaign. Another
alternative might be for me to route any suggestions or invita-
tions I have for Rose through your offices so that Mr. Haldeman
signs off on each one.

MEMORANDUM FOR VAN SHUMWAY
It is felt that there is a weakness in McGovern's
campaign when he continues to talk about his computer
operations and how he runs his various programs
through the computer and how he's using computers
for all kinds of campaign activities. It is strongly
felt that our line should be exactly the opposite
in all cases and that we should not put out any
information on our computer operations, either at
the RNC or 1701. We should promote the fact that
we are using people, massive numbers of volunteers
and we're personalizing our effort rather than
depersonalizing it through computers. It is very
important that we not get into a discussion of
computers or our operations in any fashion or
reveal to the press any of our activities in this
area.

W. Richard Howard
