MEMORANDUM
TO: JOHN EHRLICHMAN
FROM: HARRY DENT
RE: ADVISORY COMMISSION ON INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
This Commission is nationally recognized for its good, bipartisan
work. See the attached study as an example. Then turn to the back
page to see a list of its publications.
Bipartisan is really the word here. The Executive Director, Mr. Bill
Colman, was selected by an executive committee of the Commission when
it was first created in 1960. Mr. Colman has been the Director since
that time and the selection of the staff since that date has been
left entirely to him. It appears that selection of staff members
has never had any political overtones to tt. Mr. Colman says that at
no time have the Republican or Democratic National Committees
contacted him regarding positions. At present, the only person on
the staff who has come from a background associated with a political
figure is the Assistant Secretary, Mr. David Walker, who served as
staff director of the Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations,
which is chaired by Senator Muskie. Mr. Walker came to that post
from Bowdoin College where he was a government professor. Walker is
regarded as highly competent and it could be disastrous to even
consider replacing him in that Senator Muskie is one of the Commission's
best assets and supporters.
One matter that needs immediate attention is that of the chairman of
the Commission who serves at the pleasure of the President. The
current chairman is former Florida Governor Farris Bryant and although
his term as a commissioner cannot be terminated, he can be replaced
as chairman. Understand that former Governor Smiley of Idaho, a former
member of the Commission, is one who desires to be the Commission's
chairman.
The President has little leeway on appointments. He can appoint 3
private citizens and 3 persons from the Executive Branch. Since all
appointees serve for 2-year terms, these appointments are available
as follows:
Executive Branch - March 17, 1969; May 22, 1969; October 9, 1969
Private Citizens - March 17, 1969; March 17, 1969; October 9, 1969
Bo Callaway has been under consideration by John Mitchell for one private
citizen appointment to help if he runs for Governor and to salve his
feelings about not getting Secretary of the Army. Alsg, North Cerolina
Chairman Jim Holshouser, a State Legialator, has been mentioned as a
possible State Legislator appointee. However, the President appoints
3 State Legislators from a list of 6 sent in by the Council of State
Governments.
The Governers' Conference submits 8 names, and the President selects 4.
The American Municipal Association and the U. S. Conference of Mayors
send in 8, with 4 to be selected.
The National Association of County Officials sends in 6, with 3 to be
selected.
There are certain guidelines on the appointments. All this is set
forth in the attached law establishing the Commission.
Senator Muskie will be pushing legislation to establish a National
Intergovernmental Affairs Council to coordinate federal aid programs
and policy and to develop 8 cleser liaison between the President and
State and local officials. He makes a good case.
There is no question that much can be done PR-wise and effectively
to improve government through this Commission. In view of RN's campaign
statements on decentralisation and promoting government efficiency,
this Commission should play an even greater role.
The Commission is listed on page 157 of the plum book. Its money is
appropriated annually by the Congress in the Treasury-Post Office-
Executive Office Appropriations Bill. The current amount appropriated
is $551,000.

Mr. Dent:
First let me congralate you for a good job done in our state, second let me say
a servant is worthly of his hire;I know you will do a good job in helping our
beloved President, Richard Milhouse Nixon bridge the gap or gaps that devide us
on many fronts of the world.
Just a reminder, on November 6,1968 you said that you would see to me being in
Washington for the Inagural cermonies, I have tried to contact you through Mr.
Kennedy, but to no avail, I am hoping with all that is within me, you have not
forgotten about our conversation.
I hope to be able to keep abreast with the many changes that will confront us
in 1970, when we will have to re-elect our Senator, or another G.O.P.I will be
waiting to get the :0 ahead signal from you how to make plans in advance for
the coming election in 1970.
I know it will be hard to get a place to live in Motels, or Hotels, I have word
from the keeper of records at the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. That a few of
its members can find a place to stay for $7,50 Per day with 2 meals, I think
that's very reasonable dont you ?
I would like to hear from you early in the week if possible, so I can make my
travel plans a reality.
Respectfully.

Dear Reverend Dubois:
I appreciate your letter very much. Finding a place to stay in
Washington during the Inaugural weekend will be worse than the
difficult time Joseph had in trying to find a place for Mary. If
you can find a place for $7.50 a day plus two meals, I suggest you
come on up and I will arrange to get you a ticket to the swearing-in
somehow. These tickets are very difficult to get, but I will
certainly make every effort.
I would suggest, however, that I think you-will find it virtually
impossible to get a place to stay. The hotels are requiring that
you register for four days, and this is costing between $100mand
$200.
If you do decide to come, contact me either through Senator
Thurmond's office, or at 395-3070.

MOTION
To the National Federation of Cuban Jurists.
WHEREAS: The People of the United States of America, by exercising
in exemplary manner the democratic function of periodically
electing their governing officers has just proclaimed as their
thirty seventh President the Honorable Richard M. Nixon, a pro-
fessional of the Law, who has rendered to his country outstanding
services, in war as well as in peace.
WHEREAS:
The President elect and the Republican Party, which nomi-
nated him, in the statements and Platform thereof have offered
substantial changes in the internal as well as in the interna-
tional policy pursued by the previous administrations; such
changes being: the strong defense of freedom and democracy for
all the peoples; the reign of law and order in this country and
specially the upholding and defense of the forgotten Monroe Doctrine
which for more than a century have guaranteed the sovereignty and
integrity of the American Nations against the intervention and con-
quering aspirations of extracontinental powers in this Hemisphere.
WHEREAS: The obscure treason of a group of bad cubans with the worst
personal background who by prevailing themselves of the lack of
political culture in a few of them and the envy, resentment, frus-
tration, idiocy or indifference in others, in a perfect blend with
pro-Communists infiltrated in the high official spheres and in the
press of this country, plus the lack of knowledge of some of them
and the refusal of some passionate others who did not wish to
accept timely the fact of the existence of a Communist revolution
which was clearly identifiable by its declared socio-economic as-
pirations and by the background of its chief leaders, a very
distinct matter of the revolution with limited political aims, as
wished by its partisans; all of the forgoing brought as a
result the relinquishing to and the occupation of the territory
of the most progressive of the Latin American Republics, the
Republic of Jose Marti, by military armies of the Soviet Union
and other Communist countries.
The roses of hatred, misery, accusation, and the execution
wall flourish now in the soil of the Republic thenceforth in place
of the white rose of fraternity and understanding which distin-
guished the people thereof; and for the sister republics of the
Continent, those which in the past fertilized with their own soil
the American Fraternity Tree in Havana, the betrayal and deceit-
ful attack of the Communist subversion to conquer and enslave
them is what now flourishes.
WHEREAS: The afront to the Sovereignty, the loss of freedom, the denial
of all rights, the slave labor, the religious persecution, and the
racial hatred, evils that were unknown in our cordial and under-
standing land, and the lack of security and vexation established by
the insolent and armed rabble, there rushed toward these beaches,
in an unprecedented exodus, the best of our people.
WHEREAS: Such people, notwithstanding the compensatory shelter received
in this generous Country, has suffered, through the last ten years,
because of the indifference to our real wishes to return and has
suffered also for other innumerable reasons. Nevertheless we have
worked in whatever place we have been able to, and we have exchanged,
with dignity, the Bench for the most menial or humble work; but
ever with a constructive preoccupation as it is shown by the
organization and continuance of our National Federation of Cuban
Jurists, which joins our most prominent Attorneys and Justices,
our Judges, State and District Attorneys, Coroners, Notaries Public,
Proctors, as well as the experienced and most worthy Helpers of
-2-
the Judicial Branch and of the Electoral Tribunal and that of
the Census. This, our Federation, is a pilot unit of specialized
workmen and a source of values of incalculable importance in the
reconstruction of Cuba. The solidarity of their members and
their determination to defend the independence of the Judicial
Branch as it is consecrated in our Constitution, speak and shall
speak very highly to the future generations of the high, technical,
moral and civic level attained by our juridic organizations.
WHEREAS:
Notwithstanding the forgoing, as it seems inconvenient to
the health of the Country and to the reconstruction thereof, that
the Cuban man may return to his Country persisting obstinately in
a group or classicistic ideal, we ought to declare, in the manner
of a message to our countrymen in exile, our intent to return as
people of Cuba, ready to work in anything in which we may be more
useful to the New Republic, as we have done in exile, because
where everything has been turned over and destroyed, patriotism
makes it imperative for all the subjects of the Country to work
in constructive and fruitful harmony and to repudiate dema-
gogy and sectarianism which in fact have caused us so much harm,
as a means or an endeavor aimed to restore a juristic democracy.
WHEREAS: For good or bad, and we should trust, it would be for good,
the fate of the Cuban people is intimately linked to the fate of
the American people, by geographical, historical, economic, and
political reasons, and this is an historical and geographic
determinism which only the criminal dementia of the Castroism
has absurdly tried to ignore.
WHEREAS:
The constant exercise of the "domestic virtue" as it was
recalled with exemplary vision by our countryman Don Manuel
Marquez Sterling, is our only shield and moral strength for the
equilibrium among so different forces.
-3-
WHEREAS: The new policy announced by this Country, the Leader of
Democracy, gives grounds for hoping that the free Cubans may fight
to recover our freedom and independence without the need to fight
in different fronts at the same time as it has happened until now.
WHEREAS: Such hope suggests the advisability of congratulating the
President Elect of the United States of America for having been
elected and the Republican Party for its determination in includ-
int in the Platform, in the international side thereof, the up-
holding and defense of the Monroe Doctrine and the Caracas Decla-
ration, and in the national side part of same, the announced
intention to guarantee the reign of Law and Order, which is the
basis for civilized living.
NOW THEREFORE: In my capacity as Vice-President of the Colegio
Nacional de Abogados de Cuba (Cuban National Bar Association) and
as Deputy thereof before the Federacion Nacional de Juristas
Cubanos (National Federation of Cuban Jurists) I move that same
adopt the following
RESOLUTIONS:
FIRST: To congratulate the Honorable Richard M. Nixon, illustrious
Attorney, for his election as the thirty seventh President of the
United States of America and for his reiterated pronouncements
in favor of the liberation of Cuba, our country.
SECOND: To also congratulate the Republican Party for the Platform
approved by the National Convention thereof held in this City of
Miami last August which Platform having been sanctioned by the
American People, has turned out in an express mandate to be ful-
filled by its elected candidates. Among the objectives project-
ing out of said Platform are the upholding and defense of the
forgotten Monroe Doctrine which with the Declaration of Caracas
and related agreements entered under the Inter American Law, is
the bulwark for the survival of the Nations of this Hemisphere SO
gravely threatened by the Communist subversion coming out from
Cuba.
-4-
THIRD: To declare that the Federacion Nacional de Juristas
Cubanos, in addition to acknowledging all the value and credit
earned by the Platform sanctioned by the American People and
by the repeated words uttered by its President Elect in favor
of the Cuban Liberation, reaffirms its determination to fight
against all hurdles, its intention to favor the greatest
solidarity among members of exile, and its determination
almost by unanimity of the members thereof to return to their
Country to work, as people of Cuba, for the reconstruction of
Cuba with no classicistic spirit as an endeavor aimed to the
prompt restoration of a juristic democracy.
FOURTH: To express our gratitude to the American People for the
hospitality shown and to congratulate them for the moral reserves
they have revealed to possess in so difficult times for their
Country and for Humanity.

Dear Mr. Ziegler:
A Symposium on World Trade will be held on Tuesday morning, January 28
during a National Meeting held by the American Society of Heating, Re-
frigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE), at the Conrad
Hilton Hotel in Chicago. During this Meeting, we expect to have an
attendance of approximately 3,000 Society members and guests. One of the
featured Symposiums is that on World Trade.
Speakers at this Symposium will discuss U.S. leadership abroad in the air-
conditioning, heating and refrigeration industry by continuing to achieve
standards of excellence in product design, manufacturing, application,
marketing, installation and service. Also on the agenda is the expanding
of U.S. export sales and the problems involved in sustaining growth in
order to help America's blance of payments.
It is our belief that the large group expected to attend this Symposium
would be gratified to hear an address by a spokesman or advisor of Presi-
dent-Elect Nixon's Administration. These representatives of our industry
would be interested in a statement on the Administration's international
trade policy and the expanding needs overseas for U.S. manufactured equip-
ment. We would also be interested in what the Administration plans to do
about non-trade barriers such as discriminatory tariffs, turnover, import
taxes imposed by foreign governments, dollar exchange restrictions, pro-
hibited importation on entire categories of equipment to some countries
and pioneer industry acts which place a special burden on U.S. imports.
We feel that such an address by one of Mr. Nixon's staff or advisors would
be of extreme benefit to our members and to our industry and would also
give his Administration a platform of business leaders to which to expose
its viewpoints.

We realize that this is a very hectic period for a new Administration and

if you could arrange to have a speaker at this Meeting. I would be happy

person at your convenience or to write directly to anyone you advise.
ASHRAE is a non-profit, engineering society of approximately 23,000 members
from all parts of the United States and Canada. Many of our members are
leaders in the air-conditioning and refrigeration industry; a sizable portion
are educators and a sizable portion are employed by the Federal Government.
I would appreciate your earliest action to this request.

appropriate to have a representative at your.meeting, if this can be

The problem we have with the meeting is that it comes so close on the

Dear Mrs. Higgins
Our office received a telephone request from Mrs. John F.
Ryan of Arlington, Virginia. Mrs. Ryan relates that she is a
first cousin of Mrs. Nixon's and would like to acquire two
tickets for the Inaugural Ball for two friends of the Nixon's.
The tickets were requested for Colonel and Mrs. Percy Gibson
of 1 Scott Circle, Apartment 103, Washington, D.C.
If Mrs. Ryan is Mrs. Nixon's close relative and the
Gibson's are indeed close personal friends, we would most
certainly want to assure their attendance. However, you
most certainly realize our extremely low ticket allotment
and the necessity of our refusing many of our friends as
well as campaign officials.
If Mr. Nixon would like for us to handle this request,
we will be most happy to do SO. However, if there is an
allotment for the President-elect's personal friends we
would like to request that you place their names in this
category.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Political Strategy Sessions
I recommend we use two political strategy sessions - the
original group assembled at Key Biscayne, and the new
group assembled at Camp David.
The Key Biscayne group has security and thus permits more
candor. The Camp David group has less security with the
Congressmen and Senators involved. This has been proved.
Yet, it is important to include them in strategy talks.
The Key Biscayne group includes the President, the Vice
President, Morton, Mitchell, Finch, Harlow, Ehrlichman,
Haldeman and Dent.
The Camp David group includes the President, the Vice President,
Mitchell, Morton, Rumsfeld, Harlow, Haldeman or Ehrlichman,
Dent, Nofziger, Buchanan, Scott, Griffin, Tower, Ford, Arends
and Wilson.
Our next session of each group should feature discussions on
winning the U. S. Senate. I recommend that the President
attend the Key Biscayne meeting. Then we can guide the Camp
David group on a U.S. Senate session without the President
and report back to the President on any better ideas or
candidates. I will have full information available for both
sessions.

MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Meeting with Jerry Milbank
October 23, 1969
12:15 PM (15 minutes)
I. PURPOSE
To decide what the President's participation will be
in national GOP fund-raising efforts for 1970.
II. BACKGROUND
A. The President talked with Milbank on the
phone recently, telling him to get together
a finance plan and bEing it in with Morton
and Dent.
B. The President will be meeting with Morton,
Jim Allison, and Elly Peterson at noon for
a 15-minute session on Elly's recent trip
to Russia. At the conclusion of the
Peterson meeting, she will leave and Dent
will bring in Milbank for the finance
meeting. Both meetings together will last
one-half hour.
C. Attached is Milbank's plan for trying to
raise$11, 100, in 1970. The President
told the State Chairmen this week he had
agreed with Milbank to make two fund-
raising appearances in 1970.
- 2 -
D. Milbank feels that there are contributor
problems over the tax reform dissatisfaction.
Recent accounting shows the National Committee
is not as well off financially as had been
expected, primarily because of late arriving
and undiscovered campaign bills.
III. POINTS OF DISCUSSION
A. Milbank will present to the President his
plan for raising $11,100,000 in 1970. The
plan requests three presidential appearances
and shows how the Committee will be using
other means to raise most of the funds.
Here are the three proposals for presidential
participation:
1) Presidentaal birthday ball at the
Anderson House, Washington, D. C. on
January 9. The idea is to invite 200 or
more of the major contributors with no
specific admission price for attendance.
Those who are invited by members of the
Executive Committee of the Finance
Committee will be told the 1970 needs
of our various committees. They will be
told that the 1970 budget will be at
least one-third of what it was for the
full campaign year 1968, and that those
attending will be expected to help.
Actually, these people will be solicited
for good contributions before coming to
the ball. There will be no tickets as
such. This will require at least an
hour of attendance by the President and
the First Lady. This is expected to
bring in $1,000,000. If possible, this
should be done.
2) The Senate-House Majority dinner will
require at least one hour of the
- 3 -
President's time on March 11 in Washington.
There will be a similar dinner in Los
Angeles featuring the Vice President. By
all means this should be accepted. The
President attended this dinner last
spring. They are expecting a minimum of
$2,000,000 from this one.
3) Bunny Lasker wants to put on a special
dinner in October. This would be on
a nationwide closed circuit TV hookup
with many more $100 dinners. The New
York dinner would benefit the National
Committee in the amount of $1,000,000.
The other dinners would benefit dampaigns
in the respective states. The President
could assist the states through one
appearance rather than through multiple
personal appearances in the priority
states.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive the proposals. Make no
commitment, and Dent will be back in
contact with Milbank as soon as
possible.
B. Milbank will present the President with a book of
letters containing complaints from key contributors.
RECOMMENDATION
The book should be received and Milbank
should be told that each will receive a
letter from the White House clarifying
and answering points they have made.
Many of these are misconceptions and were
written prior to changes that have been
made.

It was clear to the President, in his meeting last week with the

recent Congressional election losses were due to the White House.
The President feels it's imperative that we continue to get the word
out as clearly and quickly as possible as to what actually brought
about the losses, and by all means the comparison between the
President's standing and the candidate's in each case. This word
has not gotten through the Congressmen as was made clear by
the comments they made to the President.
This is important for them to understand as they consider their
decisions on leadership of the Congressional Campaign Committee.

he would do for them to play either on TV or at meetings, or both.
Along the same lines, he felt that it would be a good idea to do one
for George Murphy.
He would like you to check this out and give us a recommendation. As
you may know, he made a tape for Hiram Fong, which was very well
received, and he feels this device could be used on an experimental
basis in these three instances as a possible test for future expanded use
as we get into the '70 campaign.
Will you please, therefore, give us a recommendation by the end of
the week.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
In regard to your interest in increasing our participation
in the Holton and Cahill campaigns, almost everything
possible is now being done except for a Presidential visit
which both strongly request.
We are likely to win with Cahill and lose with Holton. The
President could not go into one state and make a political
appearance without doing so in the other. Thus, it is
probably best to limit participation to brief TV tapes, as
suggested by the President.
Julie and David are making two appearances on one day in
New Jersey. They and the First Lady have also been
requested for Virginia, as has Tricia. I need to know if
any members of the First Family will be available to go
into Virginia. We have some events, such as the Shrine
football game, which could be non-political.
The question of whether the President makes a personal visit
turns on the question of whether there should be any
appearance of political campaign action this year. Morton
thinks not. I agree, but realize that participation in
Governor's races will have little effect on Congressional
relations. Both candidates are expecting personal visits.
Senator Murphy would be interested in TV tapes, also. This
would be a good experiment.

FOR THE PRESIDENT
Chairman Morton, John Ehrlichman and I belleve much good
was done with the recent political discussion we had with
the Executive Committee of the Republican Governors
Association. No matter how much any of the rest of us may
contact the Republican Governors, there is no substitute
for a Presidential discussion. Thus, we propose that we
take advantage of the assemblage of Republican Governors at
the astronauts' dinner in Los Angeles on August 13 to have
the President meet with the Governors for such a discussion
not to exceed one to two hours.
This could be done one of two ways. The Chairman could
have a reception for the Republican Governors and the
President could attend. Mrs. Nixon could talk to the wives
while the President talks to the Governors. This would be
strictly private. As an alternative, we could have the
Republican Governors whisked from Los Angeles to San Clemente
for such a meeting prior to the astronauts' dinner.
We realize the big objection would be any possible partisan
overtones to the dinner. This is why it might be better
to have the Governors transported by helicopter to San
Clemente.
There is also the idea that the Vice President, the Cabinet,
and the Republican Governors might meet in the hotel following
the dinner that evening. This would be good, but it would
be much better for the President to have an exchange of
views with these Republican Governors.

FOR THE PRESIDENT
RE: Cahill Visit
Congressman Cahill and his State Chairman, Nelson
Gross, will be in to discuss the Governor's race In New
Jersey.
Gross should be commended for what he did às the
convention, the general election, and to put Cahill across
in the primary. He Is one of our best men.
Cahill should be encouraged to put full authority in
Gross. He is listening to others now, and this is one of
his problems.
Cahill needs a boost because of the accident involving
his daughter, Patricia, age 16, one of eight children.
She has been unconsclous since June 27.
We might want to discuss a successor for Cahill's
congressional seat. Dick Allen has been interested but
has received little encouragement.

The President has the feeling that in the cases of both Cahill and
Holton the campaign managers are working their candidates too
hard. Both of them seem to the President to be extremely
run-down, tired and without much steam. He wonders if the
National Committee can help in this area by guiding campaign
managers in the future on the need for maintaining a candidate
at peak fighting trim.

I got a note from the President the other day
suggesting that the National Committee undertake
an effort to guide campaign managers in the
future on the need of maintaining a candidate
at peak fighting trim. He said Cahill and
Holton both seemed to be working too hard. He
said they looked extremely run down, tired and
without much steam.
Would you give me some ideas on what we can do
about this so that I can memo the President back
that we are in accord with his wishes.
You may recall that during the last campaign he
slowed down some and relaxed more and came through
better.

WASHINGTON
September 30, 1969
MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. DENT
As the result of the Saturday session, the President has the strong
feeling that the Political Group is one which should get back to a
regular fixed weekly meeting - not always with the President; in fact,
usually without the President. He strongly feels that Morton should
preside at these meetings, even though the Vice President ranks him,
and that this can be justified on the basis that because it's purely
political the Chairman should preside. He also feels that you
should take the responsibility for assembling this group and staffing
the meetings. He will want a report on each, meeting after it's held;
but he's concerned that not enough overall attention is being given
to the purely political matters, and that the only way this will be done
is through the use of regular weekly meetings.
Will you please, therefore, go ahead and set this up unless you want
to make a contrary recommendation. If the latter is the case, the
President should be so advised.
H. R. HALDEMAN H

FOR: Bob Haldeman
FROM: Harry Dent
With regard to your memo on setting up
weekly political meetings in accord with
the President's suggestion, I am to meet
with Rogers Morton Monday morning to discuss
the Congressional Campaign Committee problem,
and will also organize weekly political
sessions at that time.
As you know, Morton has been out of town, and
he has concluded that the best time for us to
handle both of these matters would be Monday
morning.
I will take the responsibility for assembling
the group and staffing the meeting and Chairman
Morton will preside.
The Vice President has been having meetings
similar to this,on an irregular basis, with a
luncheon in his office in the White House. I
think we can use this same type program and
include only those scheduled for the meeting at
Camp David.

The President thinks it would be a good idea in these
special congressional elections to have a number of
National Committee employees participate in the
election on election day in order to help get out
the vote. He specifically suggested this for the
Rumsfeld seat. Of course, we might consider this for
New Jersey and Virginia. He wants to let these people
know we do dare, and show it in a big way.
Please let me know what you think of this.

The fund-raising dinner tonight is turning out better than
had been expected. There is approximately $1.8 million in
hand now. Originally they had expected more than $2 million,
but for awhile they were hoping just to do better than $1
million. Thus, the fund-raising people feel much better now.
Press reports will say "over $2 million" and it will be near
that.

In passing out any bouquets, it might be noted that Lee Nunn

Frankly, tradition is against us. Did you know that the party in
the White House has lost every off-year election since 1900, except for
one? We are fighting a powerful trend in political history. Here at
campaign headquarters, we are working to reverse this trend. That's
why we need your help.
Next year's campaign is vital because the American people will
read the results as a vote of confidence -- or no-confidence - - in what
we are trying to do to correct the mess of the past eight years. We
must give the President a Republican Congress, a Congress that will
work with him.
I know how much you've helped us before, but it's people like you
we must count on. Will you make your gift of $25 to the Republican
Congressional Campaign early this time? $25 now is worth $100 late in
the campaign.
In return for your help, I've asked my staff to see that you get a
copy of the Republican Congressional NEWSLETTER every week, all next year.
In addition, we will send you our beautiful 1970 Republican Heritage
Calendar. It's printed in rich color and features more than 20 pictures

Georgia in January, 1949 and graduated in 1951 with an LLB degree.
I am a veteran of WWII, having served with the U.S. Marines
