R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nCHARLES COLSON\nSUBJECT:\nOne-Liners\nDo we still have the business of one-liners? Two are very\nmuch deserved this week.\nFirst, Wally Johnson really came up with the idea of sand-\nbagging McGovern; that is, letting the word out that we didn't\nhave the votes to defeat the Brooke End the War Amendment,\nthen pulling the votes in at the last minute. In fact, holding\none back so that there would be a tie and then having Brooke\ngo up to the galleries and blast McGovern. I helped with\nBrooke, but 99% of this was Wally's idea, both in its concep-\ntion and in its execution. I think it was a master-stroke and a\none-liner would certainly be appropriate. It wouldn't, obviously,\nhave to refer to the specifics.\nOn a second item, Ken Khachigian came up with the idea of putting\nShriver's own recording on the Re-election Committee's spotmaster.\nThat was a real inspired move. It had a hell of a good impact and\nwe're going to continue to exploit it. Ken is a very underrated guy.\nI never thought much of him as a writer and still don't, but he is\nvery talented in coming up with clever thoughts. This is but one\nof many that he has contributed to our 9:15 meetings and a little\npat onthe back from the President would really encourage him.\nI wonder if it might not also be a good idea to have the President con-\ngratulate some of the surrogates who do a particularly effective job\non the road. One this week was clearly Myles Ambrose."
