MEMORANDUM FOR BILL TIMMONS
From:
Dick Cook
Quick reading is that substantial postal rate increases,
as proposed in connection with the Postal Reform agreement,
don't stand a chance in the House.
The Post Office and Civil Service Committee submommittee
on rates concluded its hearings today, with A1 Johnson
chairing the hearing due to the absence of all Democrats.
As a matter of fact, the 2 ¢ increase billhhasn't ever found
a sponsor for introduction; the subcommittee has been
holding hearings on last year's proposal.
Further, most members on both sides do not link rate increases
with reform; they want to pass the buck to the Rate Commission
called for in the Reform bill.

SUBJECT:
Postal Service's proposed under-

Referring to your memorandum of October 29 to Clark MacGregor,
contacts on the staff of the House Committee on Post Office
and Civil Service indicate that there is very little likelihood
of hearings being held during this session of Congress in
connection with the Udall Subcommittee "staff print" regarding
the Postal Service's proposed arrangements for underwriting
its first bond issue.
We will continue to watch carefully for any future develop-
ments.

your personal integrity and ability. I hope that just
because I am no longer involved in the day-to-day

MEMORANDUM FOR:
PETER FLANIGAN
FROM:
DICK COOK
I am advised that Mr. John Nash (formerly a partner with
Tom Tucker & Associates) was hired as a consultant to the
House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service in
connection with its report entitled "A Report on the Cir-
cumstances Surrounding the Proposed Sale of United States
Postal Service Bonds."
Upon learning this, I recalled that Tom Tucker wrote to
me here at the White House last June (see attached). After
checking with my files and reviewing the letter, it would
appear Mr. Nash's recent participation in the House Post
Office and Civil Service Committee report may have been
affected by his failure to receive favored treatment in
behalf of his clients last June.
My Secretary, Mrs. Neta Brown, further confirms that I did
not answer Mr. Tucker's letter, even though he was (and is)
a personal friend of mine. Furthermore, I did not mention
his June letter to you inasmuch as I questioned the
propriety of doing so.

Mr. Richard K. Cooke
Special Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Dick:
Per our conversation of yesterday, what follows is a description
of our evolving relationship with the Post Office Department. As
I indicated, we have a good relationship there but I would like to
"tie the Knot".
Last January I met with Mr. James Blair, Assistant to Deputy Post-
master General Hargrove on behalf of a client, First National Bank
in Dallas, to discuss the proposed initial bond offering of the
Postal Service Corporation. As a result of that meeting with Mr.
Blair, discussions occurred which resulted in the suggestion that
my firm submit a proposal outlining a Financial Public Relations
Program to complement the proposed bond offering.
During this time we also met with Blair and other department officials
on behalf of another client, John Nuveen & Co., Inc. which continued
our involvement at the Department. On April 19th., we sent the
attached proposal to Hargrove at Blair's suggestion and received the
attached response.
Subsequently, but unrelated, Jeff Warren, Special Assistant to Post-
master General, Blount, contacted my firm to discuss the possibility
of our being retained as Speech Writers for Postmaster General Blount.

Mr. Richard K. Cooke

June 16, 1971
These discussions led to a meeting we had several weeks ago and
our suggestion, that while we would be both honored and happy
to serve the Postmaster General, we believed he would be better
served by a full-time speech writer and suggested several indi-
viduals (see letter attached).
In the meantime, John Falvey, former Secretary Treasurer of the
Investment Bankers Association, was appointed Director of Finance
for the Postal Service Corporation beginning June 15th. As you
know, both John Nash and I are alumni of the I.B.A. and John Falvey
in addition to having been a co-worker, is a close personal friend.
We have some relationship with the four investment banking firms and
one commercial bank selected as the underwriters (see attached) in
particular, we are close to Bill Simon, Partner of Salomon Brothers,
the senior underwriter. Bill recommended our firm to John MacKinnon,
Treasurer of the Postal Service Corporation.
We know of no other Public Relations firms that have been approached
or that have submitted a proposal concerning this program.
Peter Flannigan, because of his investment banking background and
his overall familiarity with this area, may be the person to dis-
cuss this matter with at an appropriate time.
The main purpose of this letter is to familiarize you with the events
that have occurred to date and not to ask you to intervene on our
behalf since as I indicated, we know of no competition. However, we
are concerned that with all of these various relationships, the matter
may become confused and require some clarification, I will appreciate
it if you will simply retain this letter in confidence and should the
occasion warrant clarification, I will discuss the matter with you.
It seems that we end all of our conversations with the phrase, we must
get together, but never do. Let's set a date and the four of us have
dinner.
Cordially,
Tom

Dear Jeff:
I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and thanks for the release concerning
the five underwriting firms and Mr. Blunt's speech before the Seattle
Pacific College. I did enjoy the speech. It has that - circuit rider
ring - to it.
I have taken the liberty of enclosing a resume on Michael L. Lazare,
who has been a speech writer for top I.B.M. corporate executives. He
comes to me highly recommended by I.B.M. and as you may know, I was
a consultant to that firm in Washington for five years.
I have also taken the liberty of asking Mr. Ken Froslid, who is the
current speech writer for the chief executives of Continental Can and
had been Editor in Chief of the I.B.M. Internal House Program. He also
was a speech writer for the Watsons, to forward you a resume.
I would like to take you up on your offer to meet the Head of the Post
Office Department's Public Information Office at your earliest conve-
nience with regard to the Proposal we submitted on April 19th. (attached).
We are anxiously awaiting the decision as to whether there will be a
Financial Public Relations Program connected to the underwriting and
if so, will the selected public relations firm be responsible to the
underwriters or the Post Office Department.

PROPOSED
FINANCIAL PUBLIC RELATIONS - PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM
FOR THE
POSTAL SERVICE CORPORATION
BY
TOM TUCKER & ASSOCIATES, INC.
WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, BRUSSELS
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
The Postal Service Corporation faces a unique and challenging
future in that it is the only cabinet level department of government
to become a quasi-public corporation.
The current image of the U.S. Post Office Department will be
carried over to the new Postal Service Corporation, and will influence
the manner in which various publics view and treat the new entity.
It is with the two areas mentioned above that Tom Tucker & Associates,
Inc. is most concerned. That is, how the image of the U.S. Post
Office Department - Postal Service Corporation - may benefit or retard
the financing of the Corporation through the sale of bonds to the
public.
We believe the following program can be utilized to determine the
current image of the U.S. Post Office Department and the future Postal
Service Corporation, communicate to the varying publics which make
up the constituency of the Postal Service Corporation and enhance the
future image of the Postal Service Corporation.
THE PROGRAM
The program is composed of five principal elements:
1. A basic public opinion and market survey.
2. A public information program.
3. A research activity.
4. A public policy Board.
5. A strategic image building capability.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-2-
1. Basic public opinion and market survey.
The Postal Service Corporation, through Tom Tucker & Associates,
Inc., should undertake a public opinion and market survey as soon as
possible. This is necessary for a truly objective assessment of where
the U.S. Post Office Department stands today with respect to the general
public, investment, and other influential groups.
There appears to be a considerable lack of knowledge by these
three publics about the new Postal Service Corporation. It is important
to know how much ignorance and misunderstanding there is and where it
is. No one knows how much doubt and confusion actually exists as a
result of the change over as well as misunderstandings caused by recent
controversies such as the recent postal strike.
It is important to find out -- to eliminate guesswork and to
design the most effective public policy, informational, educational
and marketing activities which can be directed to specific targets.
Moreover, a public opinion and market survey provides a benchmark for
periodically measuring the effectiveness of financial public relations -
public affairs activities.
The public opinion and market survey should be conducted in two
areas:
1. A representative sample of the adult population of the
United States, which is both the general market for the bonds of the
new Postal Service Corporation, and the body of public opinion concerning
them.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-3-
2. Special surveys of groups important to the Postal Service
Corporation -- such as the press, the financial community, the business
community, and specific categories of the investing public which appear
to offer the most diverse promising markets of the future.
The broad sample of the general public would be designed to find
out how much the investing public knows about the proposed Postal
Service Corporation bonds, how it regards Postal Service Corporation
bonds as investment media, what the relative strengths and weaknesses
are, how public support can best be generated and how markets can
best be expanded.
The Gallup Poll, among several others, appears to be the most
appropriate means of carrying out the broad public survey. Gallup
maintains a representative sample of the U.S. adult public which it
surveys every three weeks. Up to twenty questions can be included in
the sample test. Thus, it should be possible to find out how much
we need to know rather rapidly.
Questions in the general public sample should be designed to
fill gaps in present knowledge. Following the general survey, it is
proposed that special surveys of specific groups be undertaken to
elicit more detailed information. These surveys should not be designed
until the results of the general survey are analyzed because significant
clues to public opinion and market potential may develop which require
further probing by in depth interviews. These interviews might well
include selected groups within the investing public as well as among
the press, the financial community, and the business community.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-4-
The special group surveys should be initiated as soon as the
Gallup results are analyzed. At that point, the special groups to
be covered can be determined and questionnaires developed. These
questionnaires would be probing guides to develop a full expression
of opinions among people most likely to be influential in terms of the
Postal Service Corporation.
These specific surveys may also be utilized by the Postal Service
Corporation to determine service levels in conjunction with the on-
going internal statistical review of programs.
2. Public information program.
The public information program is designed to maximize the Postal
Service Corporation's capabilities and to communicate effectively with
constituent publics. These are, among others:
1. The general public
2. Selected categories of the investing public
3. Financial community
4. The business industry
5. The academic community
6. The internal publics of the Postal Service Corporation
7. Congress and its relevant committees.
To communicate with these publics, the Postal Service Corporation
must use both the outside media (nowspapers, magazines, television)
and internally generated media (its own publication, speeches, inter-
views, films, conferences). The outside media are generally most
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-5-
effective in reaching large dispersed publics and usually have an
overlapping impact on other more specific publics.
Consequently, there should be considerable emphasis on improving
and expanding the Postal Service Corporation's relationship with the
mass media and developing a continuous flow of useable material for
these media.
The director of the Public Information Office in conjunction
with Tom Tucker & Associates, Inc. should systematically cultivate all
newspaper, magazine, television, and radio editors and writers whose
media are important to the Postal Service Corporation; determine the
maximum extent of their respective interests in news and feature material
about the Postal Service Corporation; and develop the optimum flow of
information to them.
To do so, we must make a comprehensive inventory (public relations
audit) of facts, information and ideas about the Postal Service Cor-
poration that could be used creatively and imaginatively to attract
news media attention and, through the news media, the attention of the
public.
The raw material varies widely -- much already exists within the
Postal Service Corporation, and a good deal more could be produced by
imaginative ideas for creating news through speeches, interviews,
studies, conferences and seminars, etc.
While the overall public relations program should be oriented to
the general public to enhance the image of the Postal Service Corporation,
it should be simultaneously directed towards assisting the Postal
Service Corporation and its bond underwriters in communicating to the
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-6-
investing publics which will be the ultimate purchasers of these
securities.
The bond public relations campaign should be initiated as soon
as possible in order to prepare the financial community and the in-
vesting public for the initial bond issue. It is of paramont importance
that the initial bond issue be highly successful so as to encourage,
assist and enhance future bond issues.
It is the recommendation of Tom Tucker & Associates, Inc. that
the Officers and Directors of the Postal Service Corporation address
as many finance-investment groups as possible so as to create a strong
and forward looking public posture.
Specifically, Postal Service Corporation representatives should
address, among others, the following:
Society of Security Analysts of New York
Society of Security Analysts of Chicago
Society of Security Analysts of Los Angèles
Society of Security Analysts of San Francisco
Society of Security Analysts of Dallas
Society of Security Analysts of St. Louis
Society of Security Analysts of New Orleans
Society of Security Analysts of Atlanta
Special efforts should also be made to address Bond Clubs in the
above mentioned cities as well as others and as many other financial
groups as possible.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-7-
3. A research activity.
Research is a basic tool of any serious and effective corporate
activity and should continually explore the needs and requirements
of those it serves and how best to serve them.
Major published research activities to date appear to be
primarily directed towards electronic-mechanical mail speedup equip-
ment, such as optical scanners, sorters, etc.
We suggest that alternative types of mail services be explored
and when the results are promising -- published. These efforts should
be directed towards America Circa 1985. Such alternatives may be
radical departures from mail, in letter form, as we know it today.
4. A public policy board.
A special educational program, designed primarily for letter
carriers and Post Office employees, but also directed towards middle and
top management, should be implemented, based on the results of the
initial survey and research derived from practical on-the-job experience.
Carriers are the Postal Service Corporation's frontline contact with
the public. Given proper training, they can do much toward enhancing
the public image of the Postal Service Corporation.
As the Postal Service Corporation loses its Federal government
identity, it should become concurrently involved in establishing its
public posture.
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
-8-
As the Postal Service Corporation has no competition, it must
set high standards for itself and have the ability to look inwardly
at itself to establish performance levels for its employees and
operations. As efficiency increases to these established levels, the
public policy board made up of the Board of Directors and Officers
of the Corporation, should inform through all possible media those
it serves and the Corporation's investors.
5. Strategic marketing capability.
The Postal Service Corporation should, in conjunction with its
financial advisors and managing underwriting group, establish a strategic
marketing capability for its bonds.
Financial public relations can play significant role in not only
interpreting the mood and conditions of the investing public, but in
communicating the advantages of investing in Postal Service Corporation
bonds to those publics.
The publics which should be more clearly defined, after the survey,
may be isolated one from another and can be communicated to through
the media appropriate to each public.
It is of great importance that the Postal Service Corporation
establish itself immediately as a viable private enterprise while
retaining that which is best in Federal government.
CONCLUSION
While the preceding public relations program may seem broad in
its scope it is the basis from which an enlightened, creative and
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library
- -9-
energetic financial public relations program may be designed.
It is not the intent of Tom Tucker & Associates, Inc. to supplant
the internal public relations activities of the Postal Service Cor-
poration, but rather to strengthen them by bringing outside objectivity,
experience and relationships to bear on the Postal Service Corporation's
problems and objectives.
Tom Tucker & Associates, Inc. is primarily a financial public
relations - public affairs firm which has broad experience in the
field of financial public relations as it relates to relationships
between governments and the financial community and in structuring,
designing and implementing financial public relations programs.

Dear Bill:
Yesterday the United States Postal Service officially commenced
operations as an independent establishment within the Executive
Branch, thus ceasing its role as a member of the President's
Cabinet. Our charter, the Postal Reorganization Act mandates
the Postal Service to remove political considerations from not
only its day-to-day operation but also from the decision making
process.
It is our belief that to continue to report the weekly activities of
the Postal Service to your office on a formal basis would create
the impression that partisan factors still sway the decisions of
postal management and would violate the spirit of the Act. This
impression would be damaging both to the Postal Service and the
Administration, which has strongly and actively supported total
postal reform. We feel it appropriate that we cease submitting
formal weekly reports to your office. We will, however, send
you, on a confidential basis, a similar report prepared for top
postal management.
Sincerely,
Pane

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE POSTMASTER GENERAL
Washington, DC 20260
July 6, 1971
Dear Bill:
Yesterday the United States Postal Service officially commenced
operations as an independent establishment within the Executive
Branch, thus ceasing its role as a member of the President's
Cabinet. Our charter, the Postal Reorganization Act mandates
the Postal Service to remove political considerations from not
only its day-to-day operation but also from the decision making
process.
It is our belief that to continue to report the weekly activities of
the Postal Service to your office on a formal basis would create
the impression that partisan factors still sway the decisions of
postal management and would violate the spirit of the Act. This
impression would be damaging both to the Postal Service and the
Administration, which has strongly and actively supported total
postal reform. We feel it appropriate that we cease submitting
formal weekly reports to your office. We will, however, send
you, on a confidential basis, a similar report prepared for top
postal management.
Sincerely,
Paul N. Carlin
Honorable William E. Timmons
Assistant to the President for
Congressional Relations

SUBJECT:
Postal Board of Governors
As you know, Gale McGee and Hiram Fong refuse to move on our
nominees for U.S. Postal Services' Board of Governors. They
are serving an interim appointment which will expire, I
believe, in August.
Chairman McGee has always been close to the 3rd class users
and was successful in getting a phased out appropriation
schedule in the reorganization bill to provide postage relief
for his friends. OMB apparently refused to request these
funds. (See McGee's press release attached).
It occurs to me that the $210 million might be "trading
material" with McGee if our nominees are worth the price.
Could you give me a signal if we are prepared to "cave"
for our Board of Governors?

McGEE ANNOUNCES POSTAL RATE HEARINGS JUNE 28th
Senator Gale McGee (D-Wyo.), Chairman of the Committee on Post Office and
Civil Service, announced today that public hearings will be held Monday, June
28, 1971, to hear testimony from the Deputy Director of the Office of Manage-
ment and Budget and the Postmaster General on the Administration's request for
postal appropriations for fiscal year 1972.
"This is an unusual procedure," Senator McGee remarked, "but it requires un-
usual and speedy action to bring out the facts in this first few months of new
operation for the U. S. Postal Service. The present Administration has inten-
tionally violated the clear letter and spirit of the Postal Reorganization Act by
failing to request adequate funds to carry out the intent of Congress, and the
record must be set straight before the Congressional appropriation process is
completed. We must also determine carefully and exactly what steps, if any,
the Postmaster General intends to take to fulfill his responsibility to the Con-
gress in carrying out postal policy."
McGee's remarks stemmed from a refusal by the OMB to request adequate funds
to finance the postal rate provisions of the Postal Reorganization Act because,
according to the OMB, it disagrees with the law. The OMB cut postal funds
by $210 million for fiscal 1972, which might result in additional postal rate in-
creases recommended by the Postal Rate Commission if Congress does not re-
store the funds.
"We want to make the record clear," Senator McGee said. "It must be made
known that the Budget folks are unwilling to honor the language of the law signed
by President Nixon last August. The Congress should have a full explanation
of the facts before a vote is taken on the appropriation of funds."
The hearings, open to the public, will be held in Room 6202 of the New Senate
Office Building at 10:30 A. M., June 28, 1971.

SUBJECT:
POST OFFICE CEREMONY
I would like to appeal your turn down of
presidential participation in the ceremony trans-
ferring the Post Office Department into the
U. S. Postal Service.
I understand it is scheduled for July 1st at 11:00
A.M. One hundred Congressmen will be present,
all living past PMGs, etc., etc.
The postal reorganization was one of the Presi-
dent's greatest legislative accomplishments and
he should continue to get some credit for it.
Hope you'll reconsider.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MacGREGOR
FROM:
WILLIAM E. TIMMONS
Because of the firmness of PMG Blount in taking
politics out of the Post Office and what appears
to Members to be the insensitive nature of the
postal service, I fear there is a possibility
that Congress ---in a fit of pique --- could pass
legislation returning the Post Office to Con-
gressional-Executive control. As you know,
virtually every Member of Congress, especially
those on the Post Office and Civil Service Committees,
feel the service has gone too far in eliminating
basic courtesies.
Perhaps, we should chat about this situation with
Paul Carlin. To reverse the historic reorganization
would, of course, be extremely embarrassing to the
President.

MEMORANDUM FOR BILL TIMMONS
SUBJECT:
Postal Rate Increase
In our business we usually only hear from the complaints
side of the House. The recent postal rate increase is
probably the only time in recent history when it was
achieved with virtually no Congressional flak.
In order to get a tangible handle on the actual complaints
that Congressional offices are receiving, we made a series
of telephone calls late last week which specifically asked
how much mail they were receiving relating to our rate
increases. I thought you would be interested in taking a
fast look at the enclosed results.
Since your 7:30 a.m. meetings usually deal only with
negative imputs regarding the Postal Service, maybe
they might be interested in this type of a positive report.
