MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 11, 1973 Notsed MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: RAY PRICE SUBJECT: NOMINATION SPEECH Attached is a first draft, with (separately) the four alternative endings, one for each possible nominee. I let these four alternative endings run on a bit longer than you'll probably want, on the theory that you've probably got a pretty good idea of what kind of things you want to say about whoever you pick, that you'll be working that part over pretty carefully yourself, and this gives you a little more material to choose from and work with. It was not possible this evening to thoroughly check all the facts in the four endings, SO that these would still be subject to final fact-check tomorrow. Attachment 1st draft - with 4 Option endings
