COLSON we SUBJECT: Meeting with: Robert Finch, H.R. Haldeman Charles W. Colson Tuesday, March 16, 1971 5:00 p.m. I. PURPOSE To discuss youth issues and the 18-20 year old vote. II. BACKGROUND A. This meeting is the result of a Finch/Colson memorandum to Haldeman of December 9, 1970 (attached as Tab A). B. Poll data indicates that we do not stand well politically with the 18-year old vote; a better organized effort is necessary. III. PROBABLE TALKING POINTS A. Youth Attitudes: Young people believe that we have rejected their generation; they feel alienated. They tend to stick together; hence, criticism of their life styles (for example, long hair), tends to cause even those who agree with us to feel a part of the group being rejected. The answer here probably lies more in what we say and how we say it rather than what we do.

EXECUTIVE March 27, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR ED HARPER This is in response to your note of March 15 with regard to Chuck Colson's mailing operation in the Re-election Campaign. It is my understanding that the effort here was directed solely to the environment. At least this is the way it was explained to me by Colson. If you have a different impression, and after confirmation, please let me know. KEN COLE THE WHITE HOUSE Washington, D. C. Date 3/16 TO: Ken Cole Vicki Keller Peter Michel Roy Morey Ray Waldmann Pat Dodenhoff / / Ann Loftus Linda Loop FROM: Ed Harper what do you want to do about This? FYI Pls Handle Comment THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 15, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: ED HARPER FROM: PETER A. MICHEL pm SUBJECT: The Role of Chuck Colson's Mailing Operation in the Re-election Campaign Kathleen Balsdon, of Chuck Colson's staff, is currently developing campaign issue mailers on domestic issues. This effort is reportedly under the overall direction of the Attorney General. I learned about this effort through Dick Fairbanks who has been requested to provide the Colson operation with a summarized version of the speaker's kit fact sheet on Environment. I advised Dick not to do this work himself but to offer to review any products that the Colson people develop on these issues. In order to avoid duplication of effort and contradictory campaign materials, it is necessary that we develop greater coordination within the White House itself as well as between the White House, the RNC and 1701. PAM:arl EXECUTIVE FG6-11-1/Cotson, Colson, Charles PR7-1 PL April 28, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. CHARLES W. COLSON FROM: DWIGHT L. CHAPIN SUBJECT: Colson Staff - Meeting with the President This is to confirm a telephone call to your office that the President will meet with you and members of your staff at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 2, in the Oval Office for approximately five minutes. A White House photographer will be available for a picture during the session. CC: Mr. Bull Dr. Hoopes Mr. Parker Mr. Warren Mr. Ziegler set up THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON SCHEDULE PROPOSAL Date: April 20, 1972 FROM: Charles W. Colson VIA: Dwight L. MEETING: Meeting with a portion of the Colson Staff. DATE: Open PURPOSE: To gear up the staff for the upcoming campaign and the demands which it is going to place upon them. FORMAT: - Oval Office - Evans, Hallett, Barker, Karalekas, Balsdon, O'Donnell, Rhatican, Balzano, Cohen, Howard and Carlson Five minutes allow 15. PRESS COVERAGE: White House photographer only STAFF: Charles W. Colson RECOMMEND: Charles W. Colson APPROVE H. DISAPPROVE PREVIOUS PARTICIPATION: None BACKGROUND: With November quickly approaching, the demands are becoming greater and greater, as expected. I feel a brief meeting with the President would keep the staff going full steam ahead through November. Those named here are the people with whom the President has had little or no contact and it would be appropriate for each to say they have at least met with the President. This is especially important with Barker who is a Special Assistant, has been here almost a year and has never met the President.

Colson\nTuesday, March 16, 1971\n5:00 p.m.\nI.\nPURPOSE\nTo discuss youth issues and the 18-20\nyear old vote.\nII.\nBACKGROUND\nA.\nThis meeting is the result of a Finch/Colson\nmemorandum to Haldeman of December 9,\n1970 (attached as Tab A).\nB.\nPoll data indicates that we do not stand well\npolitically with the 18-year old vote; a\nbetter organized effort is necessary.\nIII.\nPROBABLE TALKING POINTS\nA.\nYouth Attitudes: Young people believe that\nwe have rejected their generation; they feel\nalienated. They tend to stick together;\nhence, criticism of their life styles (for\nexample, long hair), tends to cause even\nthose who agree with us to feel a part of\nthe group being rejected. The answer here\nprobably lies more in what we say and how\nwe say it rather than what we do.

This effort is reportedly\nunder the overall direction of the Attorney General.\nI learned about this effort through Dick Fairbanks who has been\nrequested to provide the Colson operation with a summarized version\nof the speaker's kit fact sheet on Environment. I advised Dick not\nto do this work himself but to offer to review any products that the\nColson people develop on these issues.\nIn order to avoid duplication of effort and contradictory campaign\nmaterials, it is necessary that we develop greater coordination within\nthe White House itself as well as between the White House, the RNC\nand 1701.\nPAM:arl\nEXECUTIVE\nFG6-11-1/Cotson, Colson, Charles\nPR7-1\nPL\nApril 28, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nMR.
