MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT j\' FROM: CHARLES COLSON"V SUBJECT: Last 72 hours of cam.paign

There will be a trem.endous tem.ptation today to respond to McGovern! s very provocative charge last night; that is the reason he m.ade it -- to get you to respond.

The lead in tom.orrow m.orningt s papers should be, "President Nixon, ignoring the harsh charges of his opponent, told cheering crowds today that Am.erica is on the brink of peace".

The "brink of peace"phrase, which is Scalits, lobs it right over the head of McGovern. He is desperately seeking to engage us in a m.ajor controversy over who said what to whom. in the closing 72 hours of the cam.paign. Forget it. He has charged things before which are worse. His credibility is near zero and the last thing that we want this weekend is the twocandidates slugging it out on whether there will be a peace agreem.ent or not.

Leave it to Laird and Rogers to charge that this m.an has consist­ ently tried to sabotage peace in Vietnam. and that he lies when he says that you have accepted exactly the sam.e deal that he has proposed or that peace could have been achieved three years ago on the sam.e term.s.

End up the cam.paign sm.i1ing confidently, allowing the contrast to be drawn with McGovern looking m.ean and scornful. THE WHITE HOUSE

MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN 5 SUBJECT: Campaign Reading

Four interesting items have been submitted recently that you may want to read. The first two are reports by Fred Malek on Canvass efforts and Get Out the Vote Kick Off. The Canvass report indicates that 1/3 of the priority counties in the key states have been contacted in person or by telephone. In California more than 1/2 of the households in the priority counties have been contacted. The poorest key state performances have been in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. (Full report at Tab A.)

Malek's Get Out the Vote memorandum describes the activities on October 28. He claims 10,000 volunteers received train­ ing, that local media coverage was good, and that technically there were few problems. (Full report at Tab B.)

Harry Dent prepared a report on the Evans & Novak Political Forum that MacGregor attended with Scammon, O'Brien, and Caddell. most interesting notes are:

1) Evans projects 524 electoral votes for the President. McGovern only has Massachusetts and D.C. The McGovern campaign never got off the ground because of his vacillation, Eagleton, and O'Brien. Also, McGovern became too speci on the issues too soon;

2) Republicans have a slim chance to capture the Senate, but will only pick up 20 House seets;

3) MacGregor predicts a low vote because of the McGovern-Shriver "mud-slinging"; - 2 ­

4) Pat Caddell, in a remarkably frank discussion, says the people lost confidence in McGovern's handling of Eagleton. He believes the President's landslide will not indicate Democrats have abandoned their party for the Republicans

5} Scammon claims neither candidate is we liked, and that the President's problem is to get people to trust him; and

6) O'Brien too loyal to McGovern to say anything of real interest.

The report is attached at Tab C.

John Whitaker has submitted a memorandum on post-election activities. Several of the suggestions are being imple­ mented. However, his ideas about directing the Cabinet to go out into the country to ten, to send special Ombudsmen such as Carlucci in Pennsylvania into the country, and to capture the "substantive march on the Congress", are quite interesting. Whitaker's memorandum is attached at Tab D.

Discussions and Questions - The 1972 Campaign (Evans)

Predict an electorial vote for Nixon of 524 to 14 for McGovern. Believe the pre-convention actions of McGovern did him in. That is, the policies he advocated in detail so far in advance and late~ modified or drastically changed his position. Six to eight weeks ago it was obvious that the McGovern campaign had collapsed. Forry percent of those polled as having voted for Humphrey stated they would not vote for McGovern.

Senator Hughes persuaded Muskie to oppose the candidacy of McGovern on the night before Muskie was to declare in favor of him. Had Muskie supported McGovern, he would have been named the Vice Presidential candidate and would have helped McGovern avoid his many mistakes or at least some of them.

Some mistakes were his vascillation, the Eagleton affair, and that of the O'Brien affair. He asked O'Brien to be chairman then found his staff had picked Westwood so McGovern changed. Such action placed his capacity as a manager in great doubt in the minds of leading democrats and the correspondents. At that point the democratic political managers began to leave McGovern.

Another adverse factor in McGovern's campaign was his unfortunate choice of issues to take to the people. Candidates should never go into a campaign with such detailed specific issues. For example, John F. Kennedy had a few simple objectives, such as a strong national defense, close the missile gap (there was none) and get the country moving again. This a voids the problems of alienating various groups early in the campaign.

McGovern, however, came out for:

(a) $1, 000 for each person. (b) A tax plan repellent to those with medium income or above $12, 000 annually. (c) Mortgaged his future with programs to please splinter groups and lost his appeal to others. (d) Reversed his position on and the Middle East to get votes but the Jews knew he did this only for votes. -2­

(e) He drove the Catholic vote to Nixon, or at least 50% of it, by anti-war talk and by his long hair, kid associates. Ethnics do not like Communis ts because they have had experience wi th them. (f) McGovern really had only one issue--that of Viet Nam and he never came to realize that the war issue was over. Nixon changed much of the resistance to the war by doing away with the draft. (g) McGovern failed to concentrate on inflation and the higher prices of food by not going into the stores and getting publicity on higher prices. He started late on Watergate. Art Buchwald had an interesting comment on McGovern--"I worship the very quicksand he walks on".

Three so called landslides by a past presidential candidate were: Harding 63.9%, Roosevelt 62%, and Lyndon Johnson 61%. Nixon should win by placing somewhere in the 60% area.

Regardless of a loss, the Democratic Party will be very much alive after the election. It will include the democrats voting for Nixon and the rest of the democrats. Believe Kennedy wants to run in 1976. The basic factions of the McGovern democrats will change in the future.

Comments on Republican Chance s (Novak)

The only state conceded to McGovern at this time would be Massachusetts; also District of Columbia. The poll showed McGovern ahead by 4 %in Massachu­ setts which means McGovern will have trouble elsewhere.

Recent polls taken by Evans-Novak show Nixon's position as follows: Wisconsin 9% ahead; 10% ahead; Rhode Island- -way ahead but may be some less; Hawaii -close; Washington 25% ahead; South Dakota 20% ahead; California 19-16 and 14% ahead on 3 polls; Michigan 18% ahead and trend is ahead more; New York a landslide ; ahead.

Senate now 55/ 45 but Republica ns have a chance of winning Senate by a close margin. Chafee -win Rhode Island; Dominick (R) ahead in run for Clinton Anderson seat; North Carolina - Helms (R) moving ahead; Georgia close with Thompson (R) Sam Nunn (D); Oklahoma Edmonson (D) 2% ahead of Bartlett (R) but Oklahoma is 68% Nixon - 17% McGovern; Kentucky Huddle ston (D) ahead of Louis Nunn now; South Dakota Aberesk (D) ahead of Hirsch (R); Delaware-Boggs will probably win; Idaho-McClure (R) win; Michigan-Republican probably; -3­

Texas-Tower probably safe over Sanders; Montana-Metcalf; Virginia-a catastrophe for McGovern. Spong (D) - Scott (R) has a chance.

House About the best the Republicans can do is to win 20seats. But there will be surprises should Nixon win by more than 60%. Believe the President is wise to stay home during the campaign except for official business. Watergate issue is not changing votes. Believe most people worry about jobs, inflation, and busing.

If instead of McGovern, Humphrey, Muskie, Kennedy, Jackson or Wallace had run the presidential race would be a dead heat at thi s point of the campaign. The Republicans have not built a strong program but people believe Nixon is best qualified for the White House. Even though many like the personality of McGovern better they will vote for Nixon.

In this race, many people feel it is the "boardroom" attitude vs. the "upper campus" attitude and they don't like either but for the President's job they much prefer Nixon as a stronger man for acting on the problems.

Believe that a low percentage difference between the candidates leads to a record low vote or turnout. The undecided vote is heavily undecided and most \vill finally vote for McGovern.

Only seventeen governorships are up for election this year. Believe more states should go to a mid-term basis. (Not elect a governor in a presidential election year.) Probably three or four RepUblicans will win in these elections.

In 1976, do not believe Connally will run as a Republican or that Percy has a chance. If in Illinois Ogilvie wins this year, he will be a candidate for president in 1976. There could also be new young faces by that time.

The Nixon Campaign - Clark MacGregor

I came aboard on 1 July basically to show the people of the United States what the President had done for them. Many do not realize these facts and the President wanted a presentation of his positive programs. McGovern took care of presenting any negative programs.

The Eagleton affair and McGovern I s income plan have shown McGovernIS incompetence. My job is to show the people that Nixon has brought the people peace and prosperity. _ .. _------­

-4­

Questions:

Evans - Nixon has refused to campaign for Republican congressmen who need help. Why has he not done more in this area?

MacGregor - Congress was in session until 18 October at which time the President was sent over lOO very complicated bills to sign within a short period of time. It was necessary co work 0,1 these in Washington where he could confer with his cabinet members, his staff and others. There was little time for campaigning. best policy was a goodAperformance in office not campaign­ ing.

If reelected, I don't think the President will embark on any new policies but will take actions which will work. He will decentralize as much as possible and pass action back to states, cities, etc. This was done for the "Revenue Sharing!! bill.

A low vote this year would help McGovern and a high vote would help Nixon. The "mud-slinging" by McGovern and Shriver leads to a lower vQ[er turnout.

Business must do more work to show what they have done and are doing for the people. They have an unfavorable image with the public which they have done little to change. The old business practices have changed--higher wages, better conditions, better employee relations, etc.

The 1972 Voter - Pat Caddell

Unless the candidate has competence, the voters will not vote for him. In July 1972, we intervi 13,000 voters. In September 1972, we again sample voters from this original 13,000. We found that the internal atti many of these voters had drastically changed against McGovern. One third had changed their minds in this period. Those who moved to Nixon from McGovern were 60% Democratic upper income, Catholic voters or combinations of those.

These voters had no real liking for Nixon but they had less confidence in McGovern since the Eagleton affair. They liked McGovern's personality than that of :Nixon and thought ;VIcGovern cared about them and was honest but McGovern had lost his credibility. -5­

In a question, "Does Nixon tell the truth?", the answer was 44% - No and 42% - Yes. They believed that McGovern did not know how to do things. They had no better liking for Nixon but believed McGovern could not properly handle the White House responsibilities.

Initially the poll was 46% - McGovern and 43% Nixon, now it was three to one against McGovern and the young suburban group of voters defected. Many thought Nixon was dishonest but now they thought McGovern was incompetent to be in the White House.

On various questions to voters: When\vill the war end? - 12% said tlnever". Does the bombing help? - 60% said "no", Is it immoral? - 46% said "yes" and 44% said "no". Could the war have been ended sooner? - 40% said "yes".

On crime,many said neither party can help in this area. There was an increasing belief in corruption in government and not necessarily only by Republicans. Those defecting from McGovern seemed to have no intention of permanently defecting from the Democratic party.

If there is a Nixon landslide, do not misread the result. A strong candidate could win over Nixon. Interest in the election is declining. Faith in L'1e system is declining, Many refer to ITT, grain deals, etc, and believe things are not getting better. The basic turning point against McGovern was the Eagleton affair.

(Note - Pat Caddell gave many percentage changes between the July and September polls. All showed the drastic loss of support for McGovern. He was very frank in his comments and made a favorable impression that he was providing the facts as he read them and was not trying to hide anything.)

Dick Scammon - My impression is that even though the voter may believe everything is better, he still does not like it. Neither candidate is well liked. Without Wallace, his voters shifted to Nixon but this is not a Republican shift of the voters. Voters like two parties in the government. In August, there was a loss of confidence and a big defection of McGovern t s basic support.

Racism is not too strong an issue now but 40% of the voters believe more should be done for the blacks.

If there is a 61% turnout in this election, there should be a vote total of 8S million. Believe the Democrats will keep the Senate and House unless Nixon -6­ gets 65% or more of the votes which will help move into Congress more Republicans. McGovern polls show a belief that Nixon is not honest, but he gets a high rating on his foreign affairs of around 70% of the voters. .

A major problem is getting the voters to trust Nixon. Don tt forget that the average voter is more sophisticated than many people think. The process and ideology by which McGovern won the nomination are the very things which will lose him the election.

The McGovern Campaign - Larry OtB:(ien

When I returned to the Chairmanship I found that the public felt the system did not meet their interests and goals. The party must respond by opening up to meet these requirements. When this is done, a price is paid as was shown in the convention at 1vliami.

Business must open up to enlist the support of the public.

At this time, McGovern is behind but not too far. People won't stand for the status quo and the party must realign. Believe the Democrats are developing a deep base of support and that the voting difference on Tuesday will not be large.

Questions:

Do you believe there is a lack of confidence in the government? I believe the system must recognize the realities of today.

It seems there is a 28% gap between McGovern and Nixon. Why? The Eagleton affair had an adverse effect. After that there was an erosion of confidence in McGovern. He had lost credibility. I agree that there is a wide­ spread cynicism among the voters.

The ethnic vote will be the key to the Democratic and Republican future. This vote began to shift from the Democrats in 1950. When Mayor Curley was in Boston, I remember he had complete control of this vote for the Democrats.

We have been losing it and I hope the Republicans are not smart enough to make a major effort to obtain and keep this ethnic vote.

(Note - Larry O'Brien understandably talked in rather general and bureau­ cratic phrases much of the time. His loyalty to McGovern went over and above the normal call of du ty. He did say that his experience as Chairman of the Party -7­ was such that it should happen only once in one man's lifetime. This was in his more "off the record" comments. He made a good impression and' was well liked with sympathy for his position. )

(Personal note - I believe the original ethnic voter had little money, worked hard and joined the Democratic Party. Now, he or his children have more money and a good job. He does not approve of politicians and taxes which will take away his hard earned money and distribute it to many who will not work as he did. )

Summary by Evans-Novak

Our last speakers have brought up a very interesting question as to whether the Democrats will "break the other arm" in the next few years. Or will the more conservative and experienced Democrats regain control of the party but modify it to meet necessary changes of the times and regain their defectors.

Caddell seemed to say, "We did not lose the way- -our chief made a blunder. " Mr. Dodd of the Democratic National Committee has been saying that the next Chairman must be a woman or black. This comes from the quota system of the convention. Are the Democrats just trying to change the whole face of the party?

Democrats are saying that the primary cause of a loss in the election will be McGovern not the party itself. Jean Westwood will leave soon. State and other leaders will become more conservative. I was surprised that O'Brien predicted that McGovern would win and was now close to Nixon.

The personality and actions of McGovern caused his lack of a chance to win. Muskie or Humphrey, with different personalities, would have been much better. Without McGovern a resilient Democratic Party will come back. There will be a Democratic house cleaning by competent Democrats under new manage­ ment with McGovern not a major factor in future policies. There must be an analysis of the unworkable quota system.

At this time, Texas and California are overwhelmingly democratic but are voting 50/50.

The question for the next Democratic nominee is \vhether he is going to carry some McGovern baggage. If Kennedy runs, he will follow a more logical Democratic line. He may use some of the ideological Democratic programs but he will not make the mistake of giving them in detail so early in the campaign.

MEMORANDUM FOR: H.R. HALDEMAN )1'" ~ i FROM: JOHN McLAUGHLIN ~f' \ SUBJECT: Audio-Feed

Last Thur sday in Peoria with an extra forty-five minute s on my hands, I arranged for an on-the-spot radio interview at WPEO, a Christian religion station. The young interviewer is sympathetic to RN and he said that he was especially glad to see me because the station had been receiving, on an uninterrupted daily basis, four actualities from McGovern-Shriver for the last four weeks. They had received E:£. audio-feed at all from Nixon headquarters in Illinois or elsewhere. 111£ Shriver says something at 10 o'clock in the morning in Texas, II he

said, "it is fed to us by two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day. II He said that many of the points raised in the actualitie s were biting and potentially persuasive to his listenership.

The affiliated Christian broadcasting stations in Chicago, Lancaster (Pa.), Detroit, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Buffalo and Dallas also received four daily actuality feeds from McGovern-Shriver, he noted. His conversation with announcers at those stations showed that they also had received no feeds from any Nixon source.

I pass this on to you for what it may be worth. My personal feeling is that if McGovern and Shriver are force-feeding audio actualities to radio stations all over the Nation, we ought to be doing the same.

weekend nlade by Senator McGovern. For thes e two statenlents tell us

sOnlething, not very attractive, about Mr. McGovern.

In the first Senator McGovern said if he loses the election, he will

not ask the Anle can people to rally around President Nixon. He will not

lead the traditional call for national unity. If the Anlerican people don't

~~ot;;vpo elect hinl President, George McGovern is saying, thec hen with the American eeoE10 This is not untypical of Mr. McGovern. Before the Dcm.ocratic

Convention, Senator McGovern and his followers put out the word -- that

if McGovern did n.ot get the nOnlination at Mianli Beach, they would walk

out of the Denlocratic Party.

Today, Senator McGovern is saying that if he does not win the

election -- he will take a walk on the United States. -2­

That staterncnc is the Illost mean-spirited act of petty selfishness

I have encountered in American politics.

In every Presidential election, the loser whether he be Wilkie,

Dewey, Stevenson, Nixon, Goldwater or Humphrey -- had the courage to stand up and congratulate the winner -- and to call upon the nation to give the resident-elect its support.

Senator McGovern! s statement shows hiln to be a very small man -­ who does not measure up to a very great tradition.

His second statelnent, however, in my personal judgn'lent, was even more reprehensible than the first.

1 In that statement, Mr. McGovern said he would quote 1!reserve the right to try to renegotiate!! any peace agreement entered into, and would attenlpt to halt a1l American military aid to South Vietnam -- even if that were allowed by the agreement.

The Senator! s statement and position are ineredible. After ten years of blood, sweat and tears, America is within weeks of an honorable

To strip South Vietnam now of the means to defend itself would be the single most sordid act in the history of Am.eriCan diplornacy.

It would be a betrayal of our friends; it would conim.it South Vietnarn to a Coml'nunist future; it would invite a bloodbath against those Vidnalllese foolish enough to trust the word of honor of three American Presidents. -3­

It would make America despised in Asia and distrusted throughout the world.

Senator McGovern is today offering concessions even Hanoi

no longer demands. He is jeopardizing our negotiations at their IDost

sensitive stage. He is promising the enemy that if elected, he will

abandon the President's peace with' honor, for the Communist peace of an

American surrender.

Not in the history of this Nation has a Presidential candidate

campaigned for office on a plcige to sell out our ally to our enemy in the

field. But that is whaL Senator McGovern pledged yesterday. Consider

that -- before you cast your ballot on Novem.ber Seventh. THE WHITE HOUSE

FROM: ROBERT H. MARl

SUBJECT: PRESIDENTIAL TELEGRAMS TO TELEPHONE CENTERS

In the last week of the campaign, the volunteer telephone centers will be particularly important in contacting the identified favorable voters to get them to the polls on Election Day. During the preceding weeks, the 250 centers have contacted over 5,000,000 households. They are now making calls at the rate of more than one million per week.

The greatest danger to our get-out-the-vote effort is apathy among telephone center volunteers, as well as among the voters themselves. For that reason, we have asked Ray Price to draft a telegram (Tab A) from the President to each telephone center, to motivate them to maxi­ mum effort for the next several days.

RECOMMENDATION:

That you approve the sending of the attached telegram to each telephone center, signed by the President. They would be sent immediately upon 0 receipt of your authorization.

FROM: STEPHEN BULL .i/;>':I:.

RE: Presidential Participation i~ Election Night Program

Stan Anderson wrote a rather lengthy memorandum to Clark MacGregor outlining a tentative program for Election night. Without getting into great detail on their thoughts, they propose to have all activities take place at the Shoreham Hotel beginning at 6:00 p. m. There will be enter­ tainment interspersed with election returns that will be projected on the Eidaphor screen. C lark MacGregor would act as the MC.

Although the networks could project a winner by 8:30 p. m., EST, it is felt that McGovern will not concede until the early network projections are received from California, between 11 :00 and 11 :30 p.. m., EST. Therefore, the activities at the Shoreham Hotel will not take on a Pre­ sidential atmosphere until about 11 :00 p. m. At that time Clark MacGregor would introduce some of the CREP people, Ann Armstrong and Tom Evans, and finally Senator Dole. Finally there would be the introduction of the Vice President and President"

It is with regard to this matter of Presidential and Vice Presidential participation that this memo is directed. The basic Stan Anderson proposal was for Clark MacGregor to introduce the Vice President and Mrs. Agnew and family, followed by an introduction of the President and First Family. Dwight felt that it would be wrong to have the Vice President speaking ahead of the President, but there are als 0 some other factors involved:

(a) Ahe President's intention to speak to the American people Vfrom the Oval Office after he is re-elected.

(b) • Linformation that the President does not want the Vice /i">;;sident to go before the television cameras until the President has completed his Oval Office televised remarks. - 2 ­

In view of the proposed Oval Office activities (which we are treating as extremely confidential), we have two portions to televis e Presidential activity, with two atmospheres:

1. The serious Presidential statement in the business -like ~ing of the White House.

2. T;/more informal setting of the Re-Election party at the ~horeham where there will be wild jubilation.

These two settings afford a great deal of flexibility, and the situation seems to lend itself to the following sequence for Presidential and Vice Presidential involvement:

11 :00 p. m. The President is declared the winner by the networks. (approx. ) /€delivers ,his remarks to the American people from ~j ,/J V the Oval OffIce. ~ ,;;..#­

Our objective on Election Night, November 7, 1972, is to report the results of the voting in 50 states and the District of Colu~bla swiftly and accurately. If we had to sacrifice one of these factors, we would discard speed and concentrate on accuracy.

The resul ts v]hich you will be reporting 011 E1ec tion Night 'vill be tabulated by the News Election Service. This is a nationwide cooperative e1ec;:ion reporting service. There are five principal participants in nES -- ABC Nev}s, the Associated Press, CBS News, NBC News and Uni'.:ed Press International.

In addi tion to these results reported by NES, ABC Ne"lS will also make certain proJections on Election Night. Briefly, we will make projections along the following lines:

SEJ\ATOl\ AND GOVEn.l\OR: There are, 33 races this year for the United Stales Senate and gti'bernatorial races in 18 states. ABC Ne;;'lS 'viII make projections in these 51 races.

MEMORANDUM

November 2, 1972

FOR: GORDON STRACHAN I ~

FROM: T. W. EVANS /lV"V.

Attached is the October 24, 1952 New York Times front page which we discussed. (Jerry Milbank sent it down yesterday.) The President might want to make a brief reference tonight along the following lines:

"The high pitch of campaign rhetoric is regrettable. But I am afraid that we are never entirely without it. Here is a front page of the New York Times of twenty years ago. The Republican candidate, General Eisenhower, was charged with lies and racial bigotry. The General made this reply: 'We hear shrill voices today creating distrust, disunity and bigotry by falsely accusing others, including myself, of these evil things.' The shrill voices persist even now. I want to assure you that the frantic accusations of wrong-doing allegedly involving hi officials of my administration are baseless today, just as they were without foundation twenty years ago when they were levelled at General Eisenhower."

This suggestion comes at the last minute, but it may be worth including because it puts the present outcry in dramatic perspective. -bo ~

MEMORAI'!DUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN

FROM: WILLIAM TIMMONS~

SUBJECT: Presidential Endorsements

Attached is Mary Ann Allin I s excellent report on candidates and pos sibIe Presidential endorsements. I have reviewed the listing and Hlake recom­ mentions for each category.

My congressional staff and SLan Anderson, handling congressional candidates information for the Re-Elect Committee, concur in this report.

PART I - INCUMBENT REPUBLICANS IN HOUSE

I reconiHlcnd no Presidential endorsements for:

1. Pete McCloskey (Calif) 2. Donald Riegle (Mich. ) 3. John Ashbrook ()

I suggest a carefully worded, non-endorsement letter to Rep. Bob Price (Tex) who faces incunibent Democrat Graha!u Purcell, a strong Presi­ dential supporter on VieLnarn and doniestic issues.

All GOP incunibenLs should receive the standard leLter attached except those with asterisks who should have personal letters tailored for nlaxinlunl as 5i stance.

PART II - NON-INCUMBENT REPUBLICANS FOR HOUSE

I recomrnend no Presidential endor 5enlents to GOP challenge r s for the i following Den10crats: -2­

ADMINISTRATIVELY (??I~"tI"J:g.BHTIAL

Alabama: Nichols, Bevill, Jones Calif: Johnson, Sisk, Holifield, Wilson Conn: M onagan, Giaimo Fla: Bennett, Chappell, Haley, Rogers Ga: Davis, Stuckey Ill: Kluczynski, Shipley, Price, Rostenkowski Ky: StubblefieId LA: Passman

Md: Byron A, Mis souri: Randall, Bolling, Ichord, Burlison N.Mex: Runnels NY: Pike, Stratton, Rooney (if he wins new primary) N. C.: Fountain, Jones, Taylor Ohio: Ashley, Hays Okla: Steed, Jarman Ore: Green Pa: Flood, Morgan S. C. : Dorn, Davis, Mann, Gettys Tenn: Evins, Jones Tex: Roberts, Cabell, Teague, Brooks, Fisher, Casey Va: Downing W. Va: Slack, Staggers Wash: Foley Wis: Zablocki

These Members have supported the President on Vietnam and most have good voting records on dom~estic issues. Of the 57, 8 are officially lltargetsl! by the Congressional Carnpaign COlumittee and the comnlittee judges only 4 of the 8 as realistic possibilities. These four are seats held by Monagan (Conn), Shipley (Ill), Davis (SC) and Cabell (Tex),

I support a standard endorsement lelter to other Republican challengers in Part II.

A ttached is a very rough draft of a recoITlITlended Presidential letter to registered DeITlocrats and Independents in Denver, Colorado. T he suggestion COITles froITl Gordon Allott through Bob Flanigan.

They hope such an appeal would help the whole GOP ticket in Denver but ITlore iITlportantly they will pay to have undelivered envelopes returned so they can put together their election day challenge sheets. Flanigan reports DeITlocrats often vote the deceased and ITloved.

While the draft needs a lot of work I question the basic concept for a Presidential.

Dear

I been gratified by the expressions support I r.uve rec8ived all P<1[ts Colofudo.

I would like to urge you as u re Denver to consider voting cQndidutes for the Senate and House s who will help enuct the kinds of programs I feel are essenti ill.

Senator Gordon Allott is a strong of the policy which I believe will lend to peQce throughout the world ...,Gordon tt is a member of the Cong­ ressional leadership and I have found him hard working and dedicilted to Americil ulld Colorado I s people.

Congressman Don Brotzman is a name new to some Denver voters f but ono whom I to you most hjc;hly. He is dccbcatod to ti~e best for ull of us.

Congressman Mike 1\1cKevitt 11<)5 worked for Cll1 t11<-::; people of Denver and s represented their best interests most in the House; I know will continue to do so.
