MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
DETERMINED TO BE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE MARKING
WASHINGTON
E.O. 12065, Section 6-102
By
m/s NARS, Date 5/29/80
August 21, 1970
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
JOHN R. BROWN III JRM
SUBJECT:
Budget Support for Klein
Attached is a memo from Jeb suggesting that we fund any
future advertising campaigns initiated by us from the RNC
budget support which is provided for the Klein operation.
Jeb tells me that he has discussed this with Chuck Colson
and Herb Klein and that they all agree that the current practice
of hitting different donors is not satisfactory and may be
self-defeating in the long run. He also points out that by
dealing through the RNC we can use them as a "front", thereby
lessening the chance of it ever leaking out that we are behind
one of the campaigns.
Jeb estimates that he would need about $200,000 a year for
these projects. That would mean that he would need somewhat
less than a $100, 000 a year for the remainder of this year.
On reviewing their present budget situation and taking into
account the budget deficit which presently exists at the RNC,
Jeb feels that they can absorb these expenses through the
rest of the year on the $300,000 that is presently allocated
to them.
To put this into perspective, as of the end of July they have spent
$151, 000 of which $35,000 was incorrectly charged against them.
This puts them approximately $60,000 under budget.
RECOMMENDATION
That you approve the concept of the advertising campaigns being
funded out of the RNC budget support. The cost for next year would
be included in the 1971 budget proposal which we will work up with
the RNC later this year.
