Follow-up on Telephone
Call to the President
At 4:50 p.m. today Mr. Gene Hamilton called to talk to the President.
He said that he was a "regional director" of Mr. Clem Stone. I took
the call, but found that I could not elicit from Mr. Hamilton the nature
of his business. He insists upon talking to the President personally --
"for no more than five minutes" -- and admits that he is not calling
on Clem's behalf. Hamilton went on to say that he has been closely
associated with Stone for 17 years ... and that he lives now at
1812 Choctaw Street, Alexandria, Louisiana, His telephone number
is 318-445-1718.
I think that you should give it at least a try, as I did.
Many thanks.

Recent Unauthorized Entries to

Thanks very much for your November 15th and December 4th
reports of unauthorized entries to the White House complex. I
realize that I have said it before, but every time I read of one
of these incidents I am reminded of the extreme importance of
alertness and conscientiousness on the job. That's what the
EPS mission is all about, and I only hope that this fact is brought
home continually to all personnel. There is no question about it --
a good clear understanding of the role security plays in and around
the White House can go far toward relieving the monotony of Post
duty.
Although your memoranda do not name the EPS Officers who were
responsible for apprehending the two intruders, I wish you would
pass on to each of them my sincere compliments.

Disposition of Certain Cabinet Chairs
Dave:
Please contact personally, by telephone, the Executive Assistants
of the Cabinet Members whose names appear below. Ask each
of them to check confidentially with the senior staff members at
his Department to see if they would be willing to chip in enough
money to purchase their departing leader's Cabinet Chair. You
might want to hint that, in your opinion, it would be a most
appropriate gesture but do not lean on anyone even slightly.
It is traditional for departing Members of the Cabinet to receive
their Chairs as a gift and, as I believe you know, the purchases
are made as a rule by either one's Cabinet colleagues or the key
personnel of his organization.
The cost of each Chair is $500, and checks for that amount should
be made out to the Treasurer of the United States.
Here are the names of those who will be leaving their Cabinet posts:
Sec. Laird
Sec. Volpe
Sec. Peterson
Amb. Kennedy
Sec. Hodgson
Counsellor Finch
Sec. Romney
Counsellor Rumsfeld
I do not yet know about George Bush, so do nothing in his case until
you hear from me.
Many thanks.

ALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD
SUBJECT:
Brief Meeting with
Senator M. Harvey Taylor and
Mr. Leroy S. Zimmerman
December 5, 1972 (12:31 - 12:37 p.m.)
As Mr. Zimmerman and the incredibly spry, 96-year old former
Pennsylvania State Senator, Harvey Taylor, entered the Oval Office,
the President came forward from his desk and said, "Hello, Harv.
Well, you're looking younger than ever. You're in better shape
than I am. He shook the old gentleman's hand vigorously, then
turned to greet 38-year old Roy Zimmerman, who serves as
Harrisburg's District Attorney and was until recently Chairman
of the Pennsylvania Committee to Re-elect the President. Then,
for a minute, at least, the three stood closely grouped in the middle
of the room and talked - the Senator, almost completely deaf in his
right ear, grinning broadly and never once stopping to hear what the
other two might be saying. Finally, the President escorted his guests
to a position in front of the Service Flags and asked Ollie Atkins to
take some photographs. But it took some time to get the Senator to
stop reminiscing and face the camera. Once he did, however, Ollie
fired five quick volleys and departed.
At this point it became obvious to me that the President wanted to
bring the greeting session to a close. I motioned to Steve Bull to
come forward with the previously selected mementos, which he did,
and the President began his farewells. He mentioned the great con-
tributions that Senator Taylor had made to the Republican Party over
the years, and he said that he wanted him to keep coming back each
year
"without fail". He handed the Senator a set of the new cuff
links, and a gold brooch, saying, "This is for you ... and this is
for your committeewoman". As he presented one each of the same
Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum
- 2 -
two gifts to Mr. Zimmerman, he turned to Steve and asked for
one of the large gift-wrapped ash trays. That, too, he gave to
the Senator. Then, as I mentioned that I would be taking the two
gentlemen directly to the Press Briefing Room, that Ron Ziegler
was expecting them, Senator Taylor stepped backward about a
half-pace and said in a more serious tone, "Mr. President, I want
to congratulate you on the greatest political victory in the history
of these United States". He shook the President's hand and looked
him squarely in the eye to show his sincerity. Mr. Zimmerman
shook hands with the President once again and the two moved into
the hallway, But the door hadn't quite closed when the Senator
shouted back, "And do you know who the best campaigners were?
That beautiful wife of yours, Pat, and the Vice President. They
were the best ... except for you". The President thanked Senator
Taylor warmly and returned to his desk.

Young Conservatives convey their warmest

on this overwhelming victory in the United

sound Republican administration in America
and sound Conservative government in Britain
will provide a continuing distinguished leader-
ship to the western world which will prove

The President's December 1973 Calendar
Dave:
In today's quick meeting with 96-1/2 year old former State Senator
M. Harvey Taylor, the President made very strong the point that
he wanted to see his elderly friend again next year. In fact, he
went on to say that he wanted "ol Harv" to come back every year
as long as he (the President) was in the White House. Incidentally,
there is every reason to believe that the former State Senator will
be around for at least that long. He looks a good 30 years younger
than his actual age, stands erect, dresses like a college sophomore,
smiles perpetually and talks incessantly. He bounced into the Oval
Office like a rubber ball and throughout the entire 10-minute session
with the President played to the hilt the role of the excited kid.
Immediately afterward, he held forth for an appreciative White House
Press Corps and was dancing his third jig when Ziegler and several
aides pounded on him and dragged him away. I don't want to say
that he is if wild man, but when I saw him last, he had one hand
through the arm of a pretty 20-year old secretary he had just asked
for lunch at Sans Souci and was pinching the West Wing receptionist
with the other.

Former President Harry Truman
I just received word from Clint Hill at USSS headquarters that a

his lungs are beginning to collect excessive fluid and his EKG
"is not good". At this moment the medical staff at Research
Hospital in Independence, Missouri are preparing a room ...
and it is expected that the former President will be interned
early this evening, probably within the hour.
Mr. Hill will keep me advised as significant developments occur,

Kenneth Rush
- Dep Secretary of Defense
William J. Casey
- U Secretary of State for Econ Affairs
William J. Porter
- U Secretary of State for Pol Affairs

- Secretary of Defense
Caspar W. Weinberger - Secretary of HEW
Admittedly, these are all people we know well but no recent checks

Other PAS Appointments were announced after the Security Office had

had been obtained and forwarded to you. They were the two indicated
below:
Roy Ash
- Director, OMB
Peter J. Brennan
- Secretary of Labor
It is my understanding that there is an announcement being made
tomorrow concerning membership on the National Labor Relations
Board of John H. Fanning. We have nothing at all on Mr. Fanning
and only know of the proposed announcement because we obtained
from the Staff Secretary a copy of your November 30th memorandum

I realize as I write this that you are having to follow a very

but to the extent possible, please consider the importance of our
receiving current security information on each Appointee -- and do
what you can to delay announcements until such times as clearances
