BACKGROUND PAPER FOR MEETING WITH
APOLLO XV ASTRONAUTS
Tuesday, February 1, 1972
I.
Apollo XV astronauts Jim Irwin, Dave Scott and Al Worden
just returned from a Presidential goodwill mission to Poland
and Yugoslavia where they shared their findings with the
Polish and Yugoslav scientific communities and addressed
university audiences. Our embassies in Warsaw and Belgrade
had high praise for the astronauts' visit.
A.
In Poland (January 16-January 21), the visit concentrated
in Warsaw and included a visit to Copernicus University
in Torun. (A planned visit to Krakow had to be cancelled
because of bad weather which was a disappointment to
the Poles.)
Although Polish officials held publicity to a minimum and
scheduled the astronauts to avoid contact with the general
public, the visit exceeded expectations in terms of
scientific impact and contact (meeting several hundred of
Poland's most distinguished and active researchers) and
included a very pleasant reception by Jan Kaczmarek,
Chairman of the Polish Committee for Science and
Technology.
B.
In Yugoslavia (January 22-January 31), the mission not
only had a good impact in the scientific community, but
also had excellent public relations impact due to sub-
stantial media coverage and contact with the Yugoslav
public via media and well attended public appearances.
Despite competition of the Yugoslav party conference and
Belgrade's international film festival, the astronauts
were warmly received and the visit reached high level
political and scientific leadership.
II.
In congratulating the astronauts on these missions well done,
you may wish to discuss the contrast in the Polish and
Yugoslav visits with them and perhaps seek their views on
(1) the scientific interest in space and quality of work they
encountered in these countries (particularly in Poland where
they were reportedly impressed by some of the research being
done there); and (2) US scientific and technological relations with
the Poles and Yugoslavs.

SUBJECT:
Breakfast Meeting of the President's
Cabinet and the GOP Leadership
Tuesday, February 8, 1972
(8:00 - 10:10 m.)
The breakfast meeting was held in the State Dining Room and included
as participants all of the persons listed at Tab A.
The President entered the State Dining Room unannounced and before
most of those present realized he was among them, he had seated
himself and begun to chat with Senator Hugh Scott (seated on his right)
and Representative Jerry Ford (seated on his left).
At about 8:25 a.m. -- after nearly everyone had finished his breakfast --
the President stood and opened the breakfast meeting by recognizing the
three "wild cards" who had been invited to attend from the Congress along
with the GOP Congressional Leaders. They were Senator Bill Brock,
Representative Bill Steiger and Representative Jack Kemp. The President
then called everyone's attention to the fact that Maury Stans was sitting in
a chair far different in size, structure and general appearance from the
chairs being used by the rest of us
...
and he went on to explain the
Cabinet Chair tradition as it pertains to departing Members of a President's
Cabinet. He said a few very nice words about the outstanding job Maury had
done at the Department of Commerce and alluded to the duties which would
occupy Maury's time during most of the campaign year.
At this point the President gave the "breakfast clubbers" a brief resume
of what would transpire during the meeting session and who would be talking
to them. Then, he introduced the lead-off man, Secretary Earl Butz.

Dwight:
I won't carry on about this, but I'do want you to know
that in my opinion the President's visit to the Peoples
Republic of China was in all ways the greatest single
initiative undertaken by a President in this century;
and in all probability -- if in fact a generation of
relative peace ensues -- it, along with the forth-
coming visit to the Soviet Union, will be hailed as
the boldest and most meaningful step that any man
in modern times has taken in the direct interest of
harmonious co-existence of the nations of the world.
I mean this -- exaggerated and effusive as it may
sound at the moment. And it bears on the point of
my note, which is this: No part of the President's
visit could have unfolded as it did without a truly
superb advance plan. As the key man in the total
development and implementation of both the supportive
and operative phases of that extremely complex
schedule, you deserve not only the lion's share of
the plaudits but, as well, the very highest compliments
of all of us who serve on the President's staff.
Ron Walker, I know, carried the ball most ably in
the field -- and he too deserves great credit -- but
you were the individual being held responsible. You
really did a fantastic job!

Ron:
You and those who worked with you on the advance
teams deserve the utmost in admiration and respect
for the tremendous efforts you put forth to make
the President's visit to the People's Republic of
China the fantastic success that it was. I'm not
just saying this because it sounds good; I mean it
in the most sincere way. Despite what must have
amounted to literally thousands of problems -- and
mistakes, no doubt, both big and small -- nothing
came through but unadulterated brilliance
.5....
and from all angles.
I know you are not one to rest on your laurels, but
after China you could do SO justifiably.

MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. ROLAND L. ELLIOTT
FROM:
ALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD
SUBJECT:
Preparation of Presidential Letter
Please prepare a short Presidential note to Ambassador and Mrs.
Emil Mosbacher thanking them for representing the President and
Mrs. Nixon at the funeral service in Delaware for the son (James)
of Mr. John Rollins. Here are some background notes which you
should be made aware of prior to developing the text:
-- I notified Mr. Haldeman in Peking of the passing of
James Rollins and he (Mr. Haldeman) relayed that
word to the President.
-- The President said that he would very much appreciate
the Mosbachers standing in for him and Mrs. Nixon ...
if they could do so without cancelling any important
commitments previously made.
-- The Mosbachers were glad to serve as representatives and
were transported from Washington, D.C. (the Pentagon helipad)
to the greater Wilmington Airport in Wilmington, Delaware
by military helicopter on Friday morning, February 25th.
-- The deceased was the son of Mr. John Rollins and his former
wife ... not his present wife.
-- Ambassador Mosbacher expressed the President's condolences
orally to Mr. Rollins, with the understanding that, no doubt,
a Presidential letter would be sent to Mr. Rollins shortly after
the President's return from the PRC.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. BRUCE A. KEHRLI
Staff Secretary
FROM:
ALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD
SUBJECT:
Mr. Herb Klein's Recent (but undated)
Memorandum to You Concerning
Secretaries and Their Salaries
I learned from Gordon Strachan on Friday that Herb Klein's staff
was desparate for an answer to the questions posed in the subject
memorandum. I tried to call Herb, then Margita, then Ken Clawson
... but all were out at the time. The purpose of this quick note,
therefore, is to pass on to you my decisions so that Herb and/or
Margita can be notified right away.
-- Miss Janet Kemp may be hired by Mr. Klein
at the GS 8-5 salary.
-- Miss Elizabeth Murphree should not be hired
by
Mr.
Clawson
...
at least not at the GS 11-4
salary. That is much too high for secretarial
assistance in his office and , additionally, there
is still some question as to Mr. Clawson's
permanency on the staff. This particular item
(pertaining to Clawson) is sensitive and should
not be discussed with anyone. You can simply
state to Mr. Klein or Mr. Clawson that
exigencies of the White House budget require
our insisting upon some realistic salary align-
ment.
I believe the increase in Jeni Brown's salary should come at the
time of our next salary review.

Cabinet and Congressional Attendees
at Monday Evening Arrival Ceremony
and Tuesday Morning Meetings
Following this brief cover memorandum, you will receive four
attendance lists:
Members of the Cabinet who have indicated their
intentions to attend the Arrival Ceremony this evening
Members of the Congress who have indicated to
Bill Timmons¹ office their intentions to attend the
Arrival Ceremony this evening
Members of the Congress who have indicated their
intentions to attend the Bipartisan Leadership Meeting
at 10:00 a. m. tomorrow
Members of the Cabinet who have indicated their
intentions to attend the Cabinet Meeting at 11:30 a. m.
tomorrow
With regard to the Cabinet attendee list only, you should know that the
Las Vegas event which is tieing up Earl Butz and Don Rumsfeld is an
annual meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association a group of approximately 10, 000 persons. Both Cabinet
Members are scheduled to speak. Bob Finch had speaking engagements
in San Francisco on Thursday and Friday
and will have several more
in Los Angeles next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It is my
understanding that the interim period is being spent with his family, on
vacation. You may want to add to the circle around the Cabinet Table
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
- 2 -
all Under Secretaries (other than Campbell, who is sitting in for Butz).
They, after all, are the officials who operate much of the Administration
and it would seem that their inclusion at this particular meeting would
be appropriate. Alternatively, the President may want to invite the
major agency heads -- those five or six we have had previously (VA,
USIA, CIA, NASA, AEC, AID, etc.). Finally, do you want to consider
inviting Art Sohmer, and/or Bob Brown, and/or John Scali, and/or
Harry Dent? (We can seat 26 persons in addition to those at the Table.)
I believe that we are in good shape here, but I will look forward to some
word from you on the questions posed in the preceding paragraph.

Listing of Office of Presidential
Papers in White House Telephone Book
Noble:
Please list all members of Jack Nesbitt's office staff (there are
a total of 10) in the White House Office section of the new White House
telephone book. As you know, we consider the Office of Presidential
Papers to be an integral part of the White House Office in that its
prime mission is the development and maintenance of the President's
Log. It is only the Archivist or Nixon Library portion of their
office function which we consider to be somewhat apart from our
normal day-to-day operation. It may even be appropriate to list
them twice --- once in the White House Office section and again
in the separate section as they are listed currently. I will leave
that up to your judgement.
Incidentally, the risk of inquiries from the press as to the "numbers
of people" serving the President does not worry me.

The President's Return from the
Peoples Republic of China
On February 22nd I sent a memorandum to you concerning the
February 28th arrival at Andrews Air Force Base of the President
and Mrs. Nixon
and the plan being developed for a welcoming
ceremony. Here now are the full details of that scheduled event:
Time:
9:00 p.m.
but please make every effort
to be on the Andrews AFB flight line no later
than 8:45.
Date:
Monday, February 28th
Place:
Andrews Air Force Base -- inside Hangar No. 6
(Hangar No. 6 is on the flight line next to the
Base Operations-Air Terminal Building. It
adjoins Hangar No. 7. Your holding area will be
the office space between the two hangars, and you
will remain there in the company of Air Force
protocol personnel until a few minutes before the
Spirit of '76 is brought into Hangar No. 6. At
that time you will be escorted as a group to the
welcoming area.)
Parking:
Special arrangements have been made with Air Force
officials for the parking of Cabinet Member and
Diplomatic Corps automobiles. To facilitate the
parking process, please give the enclosed reserved
parking sticker (bearing the solid red circle) to
your driver. He should place it on the windshield of
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
- 2 -
your limousine so that it is clearly visible
to those who will be directing you along
Arnold Avenue -- the street which parallels
the flight line and leads toward the Base
Operations area.
Miscellaneous: The Vice President, of course, will be the
senior greeter present ... along with
Tricia Cox and Julie Eisenhower. They have
been issued a separate set of instructions,
but will be with you in the VIP welcoming area.
Any Department heads who are unable to attend
this ceremony may be represented by their
Under Secretaries -- and in such cases
Under Secretaries may be accompanied by
their own wives and the wives of the Cabinet
Members for whom they are standing in.
If any questions arise, I will be glad to be of assistance.

A very beautiful girl was here in my office the other day and she

a color photograph of the Spirit of '76 inscribed and autographed by
you. This lovely lady -- the wife of a close friend of mine -- was at
one time a United Airlines hostess. I believe, too, that she was
"Miss New York" ... or Miss something in the "Miss America
Pageant" some 10 or 12 years ago. But that is only background --
and probably quite beside the point. Her address is:
Mrs. Jeanne Silvius

I know she would appreciate your using her first name -- Jeanne,
Something as brief as -- "To Jeanne Silvius with best wishes ..."
would do the trick very nicely.

FROM:

SUBJECT:
Preparation of Presidential
Letters of Condolence
The purpose of this quick note is merely to confirm the understanding
we came to on the telephone today concerning Presidential letters of
condolence. Upon the President's return, appropriate correspondence
will go to:
-- Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Haynes, 205 Northmoor Drive,
Silver Spring, Maryland 20901
...
expressing sympathy
over the tragic passing of their 13-year old daughter.
(Trudy Brown will have such details as the daughter's name,
the date on which she died, etc.)
-- Mr. and Mrs. John Rollins of Wilmington, Delaware
...
expressing sympathy over the untimely death of Mr. Rollins'
son (who I believe was in his early twenties). Incidentally,
Ambassador and Mrs. Mosbacher will have attended the
February 25th funeral in Wilmington as representatives of the
President and Mrs. Nixon. Moreover, they will have conveyed
orally the Nixons' sympathies, and the fact that they were asked
by the Nixons to serve as personal representatives. (Further
details, if you need them, can be obtained from Marge Acker
in Rose Woods' office.)
I am not sure whether or not you will want to prepare a Presidential letter
to Mr. and Mrs. Rhode, the parents of Earl Rhode, who served on the
Cost of Living Council prior to his death on the evening of February 16th
or 17th. I do know that a letter has gone out already to Mr. and Mrs. Rhode
from John Ehrlichman, and I think that John wrote it on the President's
behalf. Dave Gergen would have the facts on this.

SUBJECT:
William C. Moore
I am attaching hereto a resume on William C. Moore, a USAF Colonel
about to retire. You may know him already, or have heard of him,
in that his articles have appeared in a number of news publications
over the past 3-year period. (More than one of his articles have been
of considerable advantage to the Administration -- those pertaining
to the Cambodian and Laotian incursions.)
Van Shumway has helped Moore place some of his material in
U.S. News and World Report, and I believe, The Washington Post.
Van speaks highly of Moore's writing style and agrees that there
should probably be a place for him on the White House, National
Committee or Citizens Committee staffs eventually ...
if he has
the ability to put his thoughts on paper relatively quickly and not
belabor the writing process.
I am passing this information on for whatever use it may be to you
now or in the near future.
