In view of the upcoming dinner honoring the Prime Minister of Italy I thought you might be interested in the catalog. X The exhibit opened at the Chicago Art Institute last September 16, then went to the Minneapolis Art Institute and closes in Toledo on March 21. John Canaday, Art Critic of the New York Times praised the show referring to 11 the prize loans from Italy that have never been shown in this country. 11 The Italian Ambassador to the United States attended the opening of the exhibit, as did Mr. Taldi from Rome, who is in charge of museums there.

MORGAN FAT SUBJECT: Presidential Trip STS I met with Cap Weinberger, and discussed a Presidential dinner in San Francisco hosted by Ronald Reagan. Cap thinks it would be a good idea. X It could be given a non-partisan flavor for Revenue Sharing, although it might be worked through a joint effort of the Commonwealth Club and the Chamber of Commerce./ The man to work with is Ed Meese, the Governor's Executive Secretary. He suggests that people like Sweig (who owns the Fairmont Hotel) and Knowland and others could be included, and it could be made a dinner for the San Francisco, Oakland and Bay Area. Apparently the Commonwealth Club is non-partisan but gets primarily GOP contributors.

You may be aware that the New York Post is for sale. Apparently, Mrs Schiff has decided the time has come for her to sell out. Jack Whitney has looked at the paper, but due to the fact that he's now 65, he has decided he doesn't want to take another flyer in the newspaper business. The paper is apparently profitable and has a brand new and highly modern printing plant. If there is to be another New York enswer to the Times, It would certainly help to have this paper in friendly hands. As the only afternoon paper in the city of Now York, It should have a profit potential. It may be that you know someone who would like to take this "thorn from our side and turn it into a political asset. 3. I continue to urhe through Dwight Chaoin that the practice of sing ainners be reentabilished. The scheduled dinner for financial supportors is a step in the right direction.

Their responsibility, according to the information I received, was to look after various Congressional guests and make sure that they were rotated around to meet Members of the Cabinet and other senior -type people who were in attendance. Last night the case was evidently special in that Nidecker was training Gifford. The point which I have been asked to relay is that only one representative from the Congressional Office should be in attendance. There will be obvious occasions when there should be two -- such as last night. But generally the rule should be only one person from the Congressional Office.

THE VICE PRESIDENT THE PRESIDENT Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library (Andrews) RP February 27, 1971 FACT SHEET: APOLLO 14 DINNER THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN 1. This is RN's 8th dinner for Apollo astronauts. Each crew since Apollo 8 has had such a dinner Apollo 11 had two, the August 13, 1969 celebration in LA and a small one at the White House that November after their goodwill tour. 2. Apollo 14 astronauts: Capt. Alan Shepard, USN: age 47, first American in space on May 5, 1961, Chief of Astronaut Office 1963-69, while grounded with an ear defect. Wife Louise, daughters, Laura and Julie. Yes Major Stu Roosa, USAF: age 37, this was his first space flight, an astronaut since 1966. Wife Joan, children Christopher, John, Stuart Jr., Rosemary. Commander CANT Edgar Mitchell, USN: age 40, this was his first space flight, an astronaut since 1966. Wife Louise, daughters Karlyn and Elizabeth. Mitchell is interested in psychic phenomena and was conducting some kind of ESP experiment (he has not elaborated on it) during this mission. 3. Apollo 14 mission highlights: liftoff delayed by thunderstorm passing over the Cape; six attempts required to complete docking of command module and LM early in flight; low reading on one of LM batteries threatened same only moments before Antares headed down for Fra Mauro. Unsuccessful hike to Cone Crater (stopped only a few yards short) and Shepard golf stunt were highpoints of the two moon walks. 4. Apollo 14 records: first use of Mobile Equipment Transporter cart, longest distance walked on lunar surface, largest payload brought back from moon (96 lbs. of samples), longest time on the moon (33:31) and walk- ing on it (9:25), first color TV from moon. 5. Fra Mauro was the destination of Apollo 13 crew Lovell, Swigert, and Haise, who had to limp home from the moon without landing last April because of the oxygen tank explosion on their service module. The success of Apollo 14 completes the mission the 13 crew had to abandon. 6. Personal notes: RN and Shepard have in common the experience of being "bridesmaids" throughout most of the 60s after peaking in their respective careers at the beginning of the decade. And both have now come back in triumph. Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library (Andrews) RP February 27, 1971 THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN SUGGESTED REMARKS FOR APOLLO DINNER Always, men have been drawn irresistibly to the miracle of flight. At the same time they have always stood in awe of flight. The ancient Greeks told a story which expresses this mingling of emotions - - the story of Icarus, soaring out of his prison on wings of wax and feathers, who flew heedlessly too near the sun and fell to his death in the sea when the wings melted. Now for the third time the miracle of flight has taken men half a million miles to the surface of the moon and back. The world glories in the courage of the three men who made this voyage, in the skill of the huge team that supported them, and in the larger vision their achievement gives us all. We are here tonight to pay tribute to the heroism of the astronauts and the dedication of the NASA team, and it is entirely right that we do so. But I think it is also important this evening that we take warning from Icarus and look beyond the sense of triumph in flight for flight's sake, to ask the question Why? What have we gained from Apollo, what have we learned? For an answer, we might look again to the ancient Greeks. Apollo, as you know, was one of the most important of their gods, who spoke his wisdom to men through the oracle at Delphi. A simple command was inscribed on the temple there, as a Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library - 2 - key to the words of the oracle and I think it can also help us understand what Apollo means today. The command was, "Know thyself. " The most obvious goal of our Apollo missions is, of course, scientific knowledge of the moon. From such knowledge we are already gaining a better understanding of our own earth and new insights into the riddles of the solar system. Yet through all this our most import ant gain is self-knowledge. First of all, we come to know ourselves better as individuals, Certainly the flight of Apollo 14 was rich in self-discovery for each of the astronauts. Alan Shepard, the first American to travel in space, found the resources to overcome disability and become the oldest man to travel to the moon. Ed Mitchell, besides performing magnificently as pilot of Antares, used the occasion to probe the phenomena of com- munication between the minds of men. Stu Roosa has been more alone, in the moon's vicinity, for a longer time during his 33 hours in orbit while his companions were on the lunar surface, than any other man before him; and in that kind of solitude is profound self-knowledge. And the flight brought deeper self-knowledge as well to each of us who stayed behind to watch and pray, for the inspiration of these men's achievement helps us break down the limits we've placed on ourselves. Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library -3- To the human race collectively as well as to each individual, the Apollo flights have said, "Know thyself. 11 There is no danger that fascination with the skies will make us, like Icarus, victims of our own arrogance -- because each voyage to the moon has sharpened our awareness of pressing human needs at home and shattered our compla- cency about tolerating them. We know better than ever what heights man can reach, and we are impelled to reach them. The best illus - tration of this is the familiar saying that begins "If man can go to the moon. 11 and that ends in countless ways, each ending pointing to an urgent challenge which we can meet if only we set ourselves to meet it. With the help of brave men like Shepard, Mitchell and Roosa, we will surely continue to learn more and more about our moon, our solar system, and our universe. And with each venture into outer space, we will also make new discoveries in the realm of inner space -- the glorious reaches of the human spirit and the limitless potential for a better future for all mankind. #### Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS PLANNED IN EAST ROOM IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING EXIT OF THE STROLLING STRINGS I.

The name of their troupe is "Up With People, " and they travel the world with a stir- ring musical message about unlocking the greatness of the human spirit. It is, to use a familiar term, a kind of Weatherman activity -- mobile, adventurous, and revolutionary in its way. The difference is that these Weathermen's forecast is a very good one; they operate entirely aboveground; and they explode nothing but selfishness and apathy. They go at the pace of a political campaign and with the enthusiasm of a revival tour, and keep up with their studies along the way. Most of the fifty States as well as twenty foreign countries are represented in the six "Up With People" casts, and the group here tonight is an all-star sampling of the six. Their show is exciting entertainment that works like cross-pollination in an orchard or a garden - - all of the performers learn from blending the best in their differing backgrounds, and every audience or community they touch is more fruitful for the experience. I think you'll find that they make a powerful case for an alliance between the generations not with them on our side or us on theirs, but all of us joining to build a better world. Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library -2- Following the "Up With People" group onto the stage alone would be too much for most solo performers, but the fellow who draws that assignment tonight is well able to take care of himself. He is a one- man majority by the name of Leslie Towns Hope. As you may know, Bob was born in England, and he's as fine a British import as this country has ever had. He ranks with Beatle music in entertainment value, with Tom Paine in patriotism, and just below Schweppes Tonic in effervescence. His years of Christmas tours among American servicemen around the world in three wars have made his name a house- hold word, and he now sponsors a sporting event where other household words can perform trick golf shots. If he doesn't make you laugh we will refund the price of your tickets. #### Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library THE WHITE house WASHINGTON DATE 2/22/71 TO: HRH FROM: DWIGHT CHAPIN FYI PLEASE HANDLE OTHER: my on UPI AHadd you will find the Govs Denne Contray to what 7 told instant 4 did not people to talk to the UP's We will change the provider office about the guest lit.

You should be aware that the contact with Hope has been his nephew whose name is Mr. Maletesta who works in the Vice President's office in the EOB. Prior to checking with Maletesta, however, you should first connect with Lucy to find out exactly what has been planned.

As I indicated to you this morning, we should move someone in on the staging of the show who could provide Hope with some background material which he may wish to incorporate in his entertainment for that evening.

DLC:ny Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Date For Chapin From Tod Hullin Please handle If Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION * WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA January 2, 1971 MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT May I call to your attention the mid-winter meeting of the National Governors Conference which will take place here in Washington, February 23-26, 1971. It was during my Chairmanship of the Conference early in 1968 that we instituted this semi-annual meeting so that the Governors would be able to get to Washington as a body, meet with the President and other officials of his family, and at the same time meet with Congressional leaders, both as a whole and with their own delegations. On the occasion of the first such meeting in February of 1968, President Johnson hosted a dinner for the fifty Governors and their wives. It was extremely successful and I think helped to heal many of the wounds that had opened up as a result of lack of liaison with the Chief Executives of the States. I cannot place too much emphasis on what I believe would be a most desirable -- and almost, yes, I would say "essential" -- thing to have happen and that is for you to host a dinner for the Governors and their wives. You were, unfortunately, unable to tender such a dinner in either 1969 or 1970. I believe with all of the programs which we will be implementing during 1971 that not only would it be most profitable and desirable for you to tender a dinner to the Governors and their wives on one of the evenings they are here, but also provide for briefings on the part of key members of the Administration to the Governors so that they would be brought up to date on current affairs -- international as well as national.

Mr. Ehrlichman has notified me that every single bit of his dinner was cold (I presume that his complaint doesn't extend to the ice cream which I assume he would accept in a cold state without objection). Perhaps we have a problem here in the preparation or serving of the food and then again, perhaps we simply have a problem of Mr. Ehrlichman not eating fast enough, or being seated in a distant part of the room.

Dear Mr. President & Mrs. Nixon: july 3 503/23/71 My wife and I enjoyed the dinner and evening in the White House as your guests this past week. The Strolling Strings were never better and the youth who provided the entertainment even surpassed the old pro Bob Hope. I also commend you for the relationship you have established with the Governors and their wives. Your willingness to include state and local financing problems among the many national and international problems that compete for your attention is most heartening. I have informed our Congressional Delegation that I support strongly your proposal on federal revenue sharing. Thank you, Mr. President and Mrs. Nixon, for helping to make the Mid-Winter National Governors' Conference SO successful. Sincerely yours, Nilliam William L. Guy L.

They were about to throw her out as they had not been advised she would be there --- unescorted. As far as they knew, she was there without permission. Please clear with them for the future. About reporters -- Stroud in particular -- accompanying photographers. Frequently, reporters miss your pick-up and wait with the camer- men hoping for escort to the Residence. From now on, we will leave them for a "second run" by your troops. RECEIVED LPR 971 CENTRAL FILES Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 26, 1971 MEMORANDUM TO BRUCE WHELIHAN FROM: CONSTANCE STUART I understand there was some confusion during the Governor's dinner about Kandy Stroud appearing in the State Dining Room as a pooler and Sara Booth Conroy filing on a phone in the Theater. Kandy Stroud sometimes appears around 8:00 on the night of a dinner at the foot of the Grand Staircase to watch the guests as they come in. She is not a pooler in that instance. At the Governor's dinner she should not have gone into the Dining Room with the photographer giving the impression she was a pooler. She should have been screened out. For over a year we have had an arrangement with the wires and the Washington Post that they may make use of three phones we install in the back of the Theater on nights of a dinner. The wires and the Post will often file right after the toasts are piped in and after enter- tainment. I understand you found Sara Booth filing in the Theater on the evening of the Governor's Dinner and told her she was not to be there. However, as far as we are concerned, she was supposed to be there.

PURPOSE: To express an informal "thank you" to the House Republicans who will captain three-man and four-man teams of their colleagues to blanket the Country from mid-March through June building support for your domestic legislative program. II. PARTICIPANTS: The President Congressmen listed in Tab A Senator Bob Dole Bill Timmons Dick Cook Harry Dent III. BACKGROUND: 1. A few weeks ago Jerry Ford asked Dan Kuykendall to head this effort to sell your 1971 program. Dan has recruited the 15 Congressmen (Tab A) to be team captains. Each captain will head three and four-man teams of Republican Congressmen. 2. These team captains (they refer to themselves as Nixon's Traveling Salesmen) met with Secretary Connally, Arnold Weber, Herb Klein, Harry Dent, and Clark MacGregor on February 23, 1971 in the Roosevelt Room to discuss their plans for the upcoming months. They plan to meet again next (week ACED teams have been selected. when MAR 1 1971 CENTRAL FILES Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library Page 2 - Memorandum for the President February 26, 1971 3. Starting in mid-March and continuing through June these teams will visit 75 target areas, covering virtually every State and concentrating on 20 critical cities. In selecting locations for public meetings, press conferences, etc., they will be sensitive to marginal Congressional districts. Special attention will be given to areas where constituent presence may alter attitudes in the House on revenue sharing and reorganization. 4. All of the team captains are staunch supporters of your general and special revenue sharing proposals and also your reorganization plan. Most of the captains also strongly support your health program, your environmental initiatives, and Welfare Reform. IV. RECOMMENDED TALKING POINTS: In Tab B. V. PRESS PLANS: There will be no press announcements or coverage. cc: Bill Timmons Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library IAB A: Congressional: Jerry Ford (Michigan) Dan Kuykendall (Tennessee) Clarence J.

Revenue sharing and reorganization are inter-related programs which together form a most critical part of your vision for progress in America. 2. The health program, your environment initiatives, and Welare Reform represent a positive translation of Republican principles into effective program. 3. In late 1970 you gave the most careful consideration to the federalizat of welfare and to the tax credit concepts as substitutes for general revenue sharing. You discarded each alternative as less desirable. The alternatives spread benefits in a grossly uneven fashion and do not operate to return "power to the people. 11 4. As one who served four years in the House of Representatives, you know how effective teams of Republican Congressmen can be in the educational and informational process which is so vital to the building of public support for your domestic legislation. 5. You are pleased with this evidence of Republican response from influential House Members -- that it is a great thing for Republicans to be "for something. " 6. You have directed Cabinet officers and White House personnel to give continuing support to this Ford-Kuykendall enterprise. You are confident of success, and you realize how much credit will be due their efforts when you sign into law your 1971 reform legislation.

CHAPIN St The President wants to start having private dinners once per week. We should anticipate that these will always fall on Tuesday nights. Our schedules should show for Tuesday evenings "Private Dinners". Obviously, in many cases these will have to be changed as the President runs up against such things as the American Legion Banquet, Irish Evening at the White House, and other such commitments on Tuesday nights. On those weeks where there are other events scheduled, then we should consider the possibility of having the private dinner on Thursday night. If both Tuesday and Thursday nights are already taken, then just drop the idea of doing a private dinner that week.
