MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. EHRLICHMAN
I will try to summarize herein the points that the President has
made regarding the plans for the week after his return from the
round the world trip. Please excuse the probable lack of coherence
since I will have to skip around through my notes to put this
together.
As you know, the President's basic plan for that week is as follows:
Tuesday
A Bipartisan Leadership Meeting
(This will probably be at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon.)
Wednesday
Cabinet Meeting. (He is toying with
the idea of making this an all-day
meeting but doesn't want to announce
it as such - at least at this time.)
Thursday
The Kiesinger visit with talks in
the morning and the State Dinner
Thursday evening.
Friday
GOP Leadership Meeting in the morning
and television address to the Nation
in the evening.
For the Friday evening speech, he plans to invite all of the
Republicans in Congress, plus the Democratic leaders, plus our
friends on the Democratic side. He will then add the Cabinet
and all of the Sub-Cabinet and feels that this will get us to
approximately 300, which is the proper size for the audience in
the East Room. He wants to be sure that the room is well filled,
and that there are people standing around the edges, and no empty
chairs. Therefore, White House staff and other such people should
also be invited to attend and stand-by in the rooms adjoining the
East Room to fill in if there are any empty spaces.
As a general operating plan, he wants Klein to go to work immediately
to get Rumsfeld, Finch, Schultz, Moynihan, and Ehrlichman scheduled
for television appearances on all of the Sunday interview shows,
plus any other programs such as news specials, the TODAY show, etc.
in which they can do some backgrounding on the whole domestic program.

Along this same line, he would like Ehrlichman to arrange to have
TIME magazine in on Friday, or earlier if necessary, to give them
the whole story on this Friday night speech and the plan for messages
on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so that they can get it into their
issue which will be out Monday. This is to be done for TIME, and
possibly U.S. NEWS. NEWSWEEK is not to be given any background and
will have to work just from what is announced Friday night.
FRi
It will be the President's plan to leave Saturday after the speech
for the Summer White House in California, but he wants the messages
to go forward after that. His plan for the messages is as follows:
The press is to be briefed on Friday for Sunday release on the
Welfare Plan, and it should be announced on Sunday as a follow-
up to the Friday night television. The OEO Reorganization should
be released on Monday with preliminary briefings done on Sunday.
The Manpower Reorganization should be released on Tuesday with
backgrounders on Monday and Revenue Sharing should be announced
on Wednesday with backgrounders on Tuesday. The speech on Friday
night will refer specifically to all four of these programs with
major emphasis on the Welfare Program.
In all of this, the President does not want to use the word "welfare"
in describing his program and hopes that Safire and others may be
able to come up with new terminology to cover this,
FAiR SHARE
Regarding the speech itself, the President feels that the most
important thing about it is the rhetoric. He does not want to
appeal to people on welfare, or to the unemployed, or to the
Blacks. The appeal, instead, is to be to the working poor and
to the taxpayer. He wants to use his line from the campaign,
"Get people off of welfare rolls and on to payrolls." He wants
to take a hard line at the beginning of the speech with a head-
on attack on the utter mess that welfare is now in and the need
for an entirely new approach.
He wants to make the point that we are the richest nation in the
world and that we were able to land men on the moon, but our
welfare program has been an utter failure and needs a completely
new approach. He wants to paint the terrible picture of what
would happen if we just continue to pick-up the welfare tab the
way we are now doing it.
The President would like the statement worked on as quickly as
possible - hopes that Ray Price will do so over the weekend -
and that Moynihan, Safire, Buchanan, etc. will keep working on it
while the President is abroad, and that a completed draft from
that group will be brought by Buchanan with him to Bucharest so
that the President, Price, and Buchanan can get to work on it
during the trip back to the U.S.

Another theme the President suggested was along the lines of,
"Where do we go after the moon shot?".
He wants it understood that this must be a speech that he reads
and that it must be limited to the half-hour time segment.
As to format on that Friday night, he plans, as I mentioned above,
to use the East Room and would like to use television time at
9:00, 9:30, or 10:00, whatever is the best time for us and the
least inconvenience to the networks. He does not want the press
in the East Room, except the small pool to cover. The rest of
the press will have to get it off television. The guests are
to include, of course, Congressmen, Cabinet, staff, and Sub-
Cabinet. The guests should be invited for one-hour prior to
the air time for a little cocktail reception in the State
Dining Room (the President will not attend this, and the
Cabinet officers should host it) before going into the East
Room for the broadcast.
The President wants Ehrlichman and Schultz to sit down right away
with Arthur and get him braced for this. He is concerned about
Arthur's pride, etc.
He also wants Ehrlichman to convince Harlow to play this one
hard, and to recognize that Congress is not always right, and
that we have to sell this program, not present it for approval.
That is about it - have fun.

SIXTEEN HISTORIC DAYS
On July 24, 1969, President Richard Nixon stood on an aircraft
carrier in the Pacific Ocean and greeted the American men who had
stepped on the surface of the moon. On August 8, 1969, he spoke to
a nationwide audience concerning men and women who had yet to take
the first big step up the economic ladder in America.
Thus began and ended a sixteen day span unparalleled in Ameri-
can history for its impact on the domestic and foreign affairs of the
United States of America.
Between the 24th of July and the 8th of August, President Nixon
traveled to the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, the Republic of
Vietnam -- the first American President ever to visit Saigon --
India, and Pakistan. Wherever he went, he was greeted by smiling,
applauding, cheering people.
During this Asian journey the President declared a new Ameri-
can policy toward Asia, a policy which reflected 1) America's will-
ingness to help those nations that need and want help, and 2) America's
conviction that the responsibility for the defense and development of
Asian nations rests primarily and fundamentally with Asians them-
selves.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum

President Nixon completed his around-the-world journey with
an historic visit to Romania. Here he received a reception so over-
whelmingly favorable that on his return to the United States, he said:
"This was the most moving experience that I
have had in traveling to over 60 countries in
the world, not that all the other countries were
not also extremely exciting and interesting and
receptive, but here in this country in which we
have an entirely different political philosophy
from our own, people were out by the hundreds
of thousands, not ordered by their government,
but cheering and shouting; not against anybody,
but simply showing their affection and friend-
ship for the people of the United States. 11
Richard Nixon was the first President of the United States ever
to make such a visit to a Communist country. His call on Romania
was a brave and dramatic move to open the door of communication
and peaceful relationships with the Communist nations.
Only a year ago, the President of the United States could not have
made such a journey for fear that he would be jeered. Yet President
Nixon was cheered and applauded by hundreds of thousands of Asians
and East Europeans. There could have been no more convincing
evidence of the enormous rise in U. S. prestige abroad since the new
President took office in January.
When he returned to the United States after this history-making
trip, the President said:
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
3
"America has many friends in this world and we
can be proud of America, and I was proud to
represent America as I visited these nations and
saw friendship for Americans in the eyes of people. "
Such a triumphant journey in which "friendship for Americans"
was once again evident in the world would alone have been enough to
make history.
Yet, on the night of August 8, the President made history once
more in a nationwide radio and television address on public welfare,
revenue sharing, and manpower training. He outlined a new and
dramatic approach to these areas, an approach which broke with the
past and which charted a bold course for the future.
All of this in sixteen days.
All of this -- and more!
Before his journey, the President had asked Congress for exten-
sion of the surtax in order to fight inflation, and for funds which
would allow research and development and ultimate deployment of
the Safeguard anti-ballistic missile system. During the sixteen days,
the House of Representatives voted on the surtax, and the Senate,
after one of the most complete and vigorous debates in history, voted
on Safeguard.
In both cases, despite the fact that his party was sharply in the
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
4
minority in both Houses, the President's requests were granted.
At the heart of the great accomplishments of these days is the
President's commitment to creative change in the foreign and domes-
tic affairs of this nation.
Change -- in Asia. The President made clear during this trip
that Asian nations, either individually or through regional collective
security arrangements, must defend themselves. He summed up
his beliefs by saying:
"Our determination to honor our commitments
is fully consistent with our conviction that the
nations of Asia can and must increasingly
shoulder the responsibility for achieving peace
and progress in the area. The challenge to our
wisdom is to support the Asian countries' ef-
forts to defend and develop themselves, without
attempting to take from them the responsibili-
ties which should be theirs. For if domination
by the aggressor can destroy the freedom of a
nation, too much dependence on a protector can
eventually erode its dignity."
Change -- in the relationship between Communist States and our-
selves. President Nixon's words at Bucharest reflect the reality of
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
5
this change:
"Our differences are matters of substance; indeed
no nation's range of interests are identical to any
other nation's. But nations can have widely dif-
ferent internal orders and live in peace. Nations
can have widely differing economic interests and
live in peace. "
Change -- in concepts of defense. President Nixon's commit-
ment to the Safeguard system will be seen by history to be a change
away from the old concept of national defense to a concept of defen-
sive weapons deployed for defensive purposes.
Change -- in an approach to our economy. The President's desire
to keep the surtax is based on his belief that inflation must be fought
immediately, with the weapons we now have available, instead of
waiting for some future time to fight the battle.
Change -- in our approach to welfare. The President's speech of
August 8, comprehensive in its scope and radical in its changes in
welfare policy, presented an entirely new approach to problems of
poverty, revenue sharing, and unemployment. In one half hour, Presi-
dent Nixon presented a program that would bring about fundamental
changes in a system of welfare that had not seen changes for thirty
years.
Despite the importance of these changes, there is one other change
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
6
which is more wide-ranging in its implications than any other men-
tioned here: a change in the way the peoples of the world see the
office of the President of the United States.
On his Asian tour, President and Mrs. Nixon visited Saigon.
This single visit said much more about the motivation, the strength
of character, and the strength of purpose of the President of the
United States than words alone could.
This visit proved to the Vietnamese and to the Asians and to the
world that this man "in quest for peace" is also a man of courage and
determination.
The sight of this confident American President and his smiling
wife in the midst of one of the dangerous zones of the war was sym-
bolic of the new spirit of change. He came not to brandish a sword
but to personally greet those who were defending freedom. When he
left Saigon, there was no doubt that this man wanted peace, a just,
lasting, real peace, not the peace of surrender or sell-out but the
strong peace which can come only when a desire for peace is wed to
a desire for justice and freedom.
It is difficult to predict what part of the President's sixteen days
will be seen by history as the most significant.
Perhaps it will be the round-the-world trip in which he spoke so
eloquently of America's new role in the world.

Perhaps it will be the fact that the man who showed such joy
because man reached for the stars knew that man must also reach
down to those who need a helping hand.
The days between July 24 and August 8, 1969, surely will stand
long into the future as one of the most remarkable periods in the
history of the American Presidency.

MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 4, 1969
MEMORANDUM FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF
SUBJECT:
WHITE HOUSE ACCESS CONTROLS
Over the past few months, it has been observed
that many visitors remain in the White House Complex after
completion of their official business. Often inadvertently,
these visitors intrude into other areas or offices that are
conducting business that is not open to the general public.
As a matter of policy and courtesy we must protect the privacy
of all White House Staff members.
When you clear a visitor for entrance to the
White House Complex you are responsible for this person until
he leaves. You or a member of your staff is requested to
escort visitors to and from your office to the lobby at all times.

Counsel to the President

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 25, 1969
TO:
ALL WHITE HOUSE PERSONNEL
SUBJECT:
TOURS THROUGH THE WHITE HOUSE
Several recent instances of White House personnel conducting visitors
through the White House without notice to this office have resulted
in confusion and embarrassing conflict with events in progress in the
Residence or with previously scheduled visitors. As a result, the
following will apply effective immediately:
1) All tours through the White House, whether during
regular tour hours or during "off" hours, and including
casual "walk throughs" with family or friends, will be
cleared with this office in advance. To avoid possible
turn-downs of last minute requests, please give us as
much advance notice as possible.
2) All requests for visitors to go from the East Wing or
the Residence to the West Wing, including the West
Colonnade and Rose Garden, will be directed to this
office for concurrence and arrangements if appropriate.
3) All requests for visitors to go from the West Wing to
the Residence, including the West Colonnade and Rose
Garden, and to the East Wing through the Residence, will
be directed to this office for concurrence and arrange-
ments if appropriate.
4) All requests for deviations from the established tour
route (to see Rose Garden, swimming pool, office of a
staff member, etc.) on tours conducted by White House
Police will be directed to this office for concurrence
and arrangements if appropriate.
Special tours of the White House are conducted by trained members of
the White House Police between 8:00 A. M. and 10:00 A. M., Tuesday
through Saturday, through certain rooms on the Ground and First floors.
These tours last approximately 45 minutes. Although special tours
are arranged primarily at the request of Senate and Congressional
offices (and their requests frequently exceed the space available)
reservations can be made by members of the Staff on a limited basis
through this office. Again, please give us as much advance notice

as you possibly can to avoid disappointing your guests.
Regular visiting hours are from 10:00 A. M. to 12:00 Noon, Tuesday
through Friday, and from 10:00 A. M. to 1:00 P. M. on Saturday.
After Labor Day, Saturday closing will revert to 12:00 Noon.
Arrangements for tours of the White House during afternoon and other
"off" hours will not be made except under unusual circumstances.
This is to permit the First Family privacy and unhindered use of
the Residence, and to enable the Usher's Office to prepare for
scheduled events.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Odex.
Frgive the presumptuous nature of
this note. However, since I know how
rare it is to find a really good thinker
and how great the market for them is,
I elected to take this direct route
to get the enclosed resume in your
bands
2 believe Dr Kupperman in OEP
is also looking at This man.
I have known luin for better than
three years and have concluded that
be is me of the most imaginative and
best thinkers I have ever known
