BACKGROUND: This reception will take place two days\nafter the RNC meeting electing Bush new chairman. It would\nbe a particularly good opportunity to drop a few conciliatory\nwords about the \"dedicated\" job done by the outgoing chairman.\n2. ATTENDANCE: Attending will be the members of the RNC\nand their spouses, approximately 300 people.\n3. All three of the top officers of the RNC are leaving their\nposts: Dole, Armstrong and Tom Evans. (who is returning\nto private life).\nIf RN chooses to mention Mrs. Armstrong, he might note that\nshe was the only person at the National Convention in Miami who\nmanaged to get a good write-up from Norman Mailer - - and that\nis no mean feat for a lady Republican from Texas.\n4. RN participated in the dedication of the Dwight D. Eisenhower\nNational Republican Center on January 15, 1971 (the speech where\nhe launched the phrase, \"party of the open door\". ) RN also hosted\na reception for the members of the RNC and their wives and\nhusbands thetsame day.\nOn August 9, 1971 RN met with representatives of RNC to\nreceive a brief report on the recent convention in Denver.\n5. RNC ORIGINS: The RNC was established in February, 1856,\nat Lafayette Hall in Pittsburgh. A circular for the occasion\nappealed:\n\"If there be but six persons in your town who sympathize\nwith you in this movement, organize with these six. Do not\ndespair. They are the most powerful and only efficient means\nfor bringing out, concentrating and making known our true strength.\nThey will serve to rallytthe people, inspire them with confidence\nand enthusiasm\n11\n####\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\n(Bakshian) DG\nJanuary 19, 1973\nPRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RNC RECEPTION\nSUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1973\nAt the base of any political victory are the people -- the\nparty rank-and-file who fight the front line battle. That is\none reason why I am glad to see all of you here this afternoon.\nYou represent the leadership of our Republican front line troops,\nand the victory we have been celebrating over the past few days\nis, in large part, your victory. This reception is a small way\nof saying thank you to each of you for the role that you -- - and\nyour party organizations -- played in the 1972 landslide.\nI want to take this opportunity to say a few words about\ntwo very outstanding Republicans -- - your outgoing and incoming\nchairmen. I have known Bob Dole since he was a young Kansas\nCongressman, and I will always be grateful for the loyalty,\nenergy and dedication he brought with him to the post of RNC\nChairman at a crucial time. Few people have devoted more\nof their time and energy to the GOP than Bob Dole has during\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\n-2-\nhis two years as Chairman, and no one has done a better job in\nthe Senate.\nSecondly, I want to commend the National Committee for\nits choice of a new, full-time Chairman, George Bush. As you\nmay have heard, by a remarkable coincidence, George was my\nfirst choice for incoming RNC Chairman, too, and I take this\nopportunity to welcome him aboard. I know he will bring the\nsame powers of persuasion, judgment and organization to his\nnew job that he has used with such effect in the Congress and\nat the United Nations.\nAs for the notion that the job of chairman is a dead-end\nproposition, I say nonsense. Bob Dole and George Bush have\nnow entered that roll call of political immortals that includes\nsuch illustrious and long-remembered names as William Claflin,\nMatthew S. Quay, Victor Rosewater, Hubert Work, Simeon D.\nFess and William E. Miller. Gentlemen, you have nothing to\nworry about.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\n-3-\nActually, in all seriousness, the post of Chairman is perhaps\nmore important today than ever before. The 1972 election was\nthe first step in what can become a dramatic realignment of the\nAmerican political system -- SO long as we have the right leader-\nship and organization. After generations as a minority party, the\nRepublican Party is now facing a great opportunity. It can become\nthe majority voice of the American people.\nThe work has already begun. We have achieved our goal at\nthe executive level. Now we must build on that foundation. We\nmust transform a temporary victory into a long-term ascendancy\nat every level of every branch of American government. We have\nthe ideas, the issues and the morale to do it. Your job, our job,\nis to take these raw materials and forge them into a strong and\ndurable majority standing during the next four years. And in\nthis vital mission, the Republican National Committee will have\nto lead the way.\nRemember, the Inaugural ceremonies we have just celebrated\ntogether do not simply mark the victory that we have already com-\npleted. They also mark the new challenge we have undertaken\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\n- -4-\ntogether. We have 1, 461 days to turn this Presidential victory\ninto a long-term Republican mandate -- a new and lasting American\nmajority that can guarantee that the peace, stability and progress\nwe build over the next four years will keep on building for a full\ngeneration of peace and prosperity and beyond.\n####\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum\nRECEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE\nSunday, January 21, 1973\nat 6 o'clock\n(RNC)\nThe President & Mrs. Nixon\nEddings, Mr. & Mrs. B.
