.SPECIAL PROJECTS
~ues ..In order to give virtually everyone who wishes to go to work now for Nixon something specific and well-directed to do, a program of Nixon Clubs is being developed. It will be incorporated into a pamphlet enti tIed "How You Can. Organize a Nixon Club". .This . pam phletwill become a part of the Uni ted C.i t.izens for Nixon Qrganiza tional kit. Initially, it will be mailed to all persons i~ the four-state area.
PENNSYLVA~~A Ben Cotten has spent a week in the state making pre liminary contacts and initiating the field progra[Tl. Abbott Washburn has made : seve~al prime contacts and through Kevin McCann has ~rranged the opening of a storefront in Gettysburg to achieve exposure to heavy tourist traffic. Abbott has also been in touch ylith John Eisenhower who will be helping in the state's activities. Bill' .Fuller spent a day ~n Pennsylvania working with trade associations . and , publications people. A tentati ve letter also has been drafted for mailing to the Nixon supporter mailing list in Pennsylvania. Bob Ellsworth has asked that we desist from any further overt organization work until we can meet with Bob and Arlin Ada [Tl s. / !LLINOIS Field representative Gerald Oliver has begun United Citizens activities in the state. He has been placing campaign literature and RN position papers with key state leaders, and working in cooperation with Bill Rentschler and other state Nixon leaders to develop citizens programs among special occupa tionai groups. He will submit his program to us before beginning : open organizational work/
~ Activitie~ here have been awaiting aSSignable fieldmen. We plan to send Jim Skidmore and one field man in to this state next Tuesday.

- .. THE ETHNIC PROGRAM
Almost everyone we have ta.' ked with;says (1) a substantial .. : ...., portion of the ethnic vote which could be decisive in a numbe,r of key
,. states can be attracted to Nixon with proper organization and (2) past campaigns which relied upon preconvention efforts of the Republican
National Conlffiittee in the ethnic field failed to provide the organization needed.
Accordingly, our pre-Convention gchls are:
1. Personal contact with key ethnic leaders in each
nationality enlisting their support. Where personal contact
not feasible. personalized RN letters to b~ sent (draft
attached). Target date for contacting at least 200-250
ethnic leaders is July 8.
2. Form.ation of national organizing committees for
each nationality composed of leading influential persons.
Target dates are JulY, 15-31.
3. Formation of local nationality groups for Nixon in
key areas.
4. Establishment of Washington ,:oordinating staff
to:
(a) coordinate relations with ethnic media
and prepare special ethnic press releases;
) -2
. .. - , ' (b) maintain a calendar of ethnic events;
(c) try to arrange for speakers, .such as John . ,; . ~. .: '. Lodge and Walter Judd, at ethnic functions that cannot
be attended by RN;
(d) prepare special campaign material.
Preliminary research indicates that the major ethnic groups are the Germans. Italians and Poles -- between 5 and 10 million each• ., the Greeks -- 2 million. the Czechs -- 1 million. the Hungarians -- 1 million, and the other Eastern European groups such as the Estonians.
Latvians. Lithuanians, Ukrainians. Slovaks, Croats, and Rumanians.
The major states with ethnic concentrations appear to be California.
Connecticut. Illinois. Indiana, Massachusetts. Michigan. New York,
New Jersey. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Other states with im portant ethnic concentrations appear to be Colorado, Florida, Maryland,
Missouri, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Texas.
Messrs. Evans and Clark have met with Congressman Derwinski so that their efforts will be fully coordinated with those of the Nationalities Division of the Republican National Committee. Congressman. Derwinski insured us that our efforts in this regard were most welcome and that they would undoubtedly complement and strengthen the overall Party program in this are3. -3
Last Monday Tom Evans, Roger Clark and Governor Lodge met
~ ". e1th nine ethnic leaders representing organizations in nine cities from
New York to Los Angeles. A list of the participants and thy agenda of the meeting are attached. Each participant agreed to canvass his ethnic group and to submit to us names of persons who should be contacted for positions on the national committees and the local clubs.
A budget request has been submitted regarding two individuals with ethnic backgrounds who wish to serve as paid organizers.
Local organizing efforts have already been started among Hungarians in Milwaukee and among Poles in Buffalo. Local efforts will be encouraged as soon as we learn the name of a competent organizer in the community.
Budget proposals are being prepared for participation with the
Republican National Committee in a hospitality suite at the LULAC Convention in San Antonio beginning July 27. LULAC is a national Spanish-American organization with a mailing list of 10-12 thousand. Rockefeller will be the featured speaker at this event.
Efforts are being made to get John Lodge as a speaker at a Captive
Nations program in New York on July 27.
A separate effort for Cuban-Americans is already well under way under the direction of lvlr. Bebe Rebozo.
) -4
Heads of the local Republican Party Nationalities Division have been contacted in Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Colorado. as has been the Republican National Committee organizer in the Mexican-American
area.
We are currently reviewing and evaluating the efforts of the ethnic leaders in the 1960 and 1964 campaigns.

UNITED CITIZENS FOR NIXON PROGRESS REPORT
June 24, 1968
FOR: Charles S. Rhyne, Esq.
FROM: T • \v. Evans
Six major UCN departments have been staffed as follows:
PLANNING: Lamar Alexander ADMINISTRATION: Jim Day PROGRAM: Don Whyte FIELD: Jim Skidmore PRESS: Helm
In as agreed to undertake the establishment of a national
Major UCN projects are described briefly below and the stage of development of each is indicated, where appropriate, on the attached 'chart:
PRECINCT PROGRAM: Materials are being developed, including manuals and slide series.
SPECIAL CO~~ITTEES: Nineteen committees have been commenced. At least ten more ~re anticipated· before the National Convention~ In the coming two weeks Special Committee activities will be concentrated in three areas: 1) Announcing committees to the national press and releasing stories on committee members to their home town media; 2) Pinning down practical pre-convention and post-convention programs for existent committees, and; 3) Launching new committees. ' .
NIXON CLUBS: In order to establish several hundred clubs in July a crash program has been undertaken within the last ten days. In 16 states reliable persons have been asked to see to it that a certain number of Nixon Clubs (from 5 to 100) are formed by July 10. In addition, many personal contacts by UCN staff members have been and will be made: 50 staff letters have been m~iled and 500 more will be. To the "Four State" group; l7,DO·0 club kits are on the way by ' mail to known Nixon supporters. To Goldwater supporters in many states an additional 9,000 kits are in the mail. It should be noted that the cost of mailing a kit is about the same as the cost of a letter soliciting interest in the project.
) 2 / ORGANIZING COt--lMITTEES ANTI STATE ORGANIZATION: In order to increase interest and visabili ty in states where delegates may be influenc'ed, and in order to be ready for fast and efficient post-convention organization by states, UCN has begun working on a state basis in two ways. Fieldmen are operating in states wheie visability is sought, and in aliSO states UCN has begun compiling lists of influential citizens so that in the near future we can begin signing up members of state "Organizing Committees." Later, these ··Organizing Committees·· will be the basis, with Nixon clubs at the grass roots and special committees supplying other community leaders, for full-fledged statewide UCN organizations.

V Don Jackso~ .1:; FROM: Pat Hillings My Congressional sources are complaining that they are confused by the variety of contact from various se~nents of the RN campaign. In addition to the regular contacts from the Congressional Liaison Office in VIashington, tqey report considerable imput from our New York.-.head quarters and a growing number of contacts from the Citizens for Nixon operation. L = C' ~ This subject received considerable attention at the Congressional Chowder &Marching meeting last week and it has come up several times recently in my conversations with Congressmen} Senators, and members of their staffs. It is understandable that various segments of the campaign have friends on the Hill and there may be good reason why all these sources should be utilized. It is not possible to run all approaches to the Hill through our Congressional Liaison operation. However, I anticipate there will be increasing contact in this field during the coming months and we should do something to coordinate this and to keep our friends in the Congress from becoming confused over the people they are to deal with on behalf of lli~ . This is especially important since we have had numerOus meetings arranged by the Congres sional Liaison office here with members of Congress and their AAls in which we have consistently advised them that the main contact would come through Congressional Liaison. lId like an oPRort~ity-±o_di~ cuss this with the campaign leadership at one of our fut e strategy mee gs. ~- . FRJM: t1AR'1'm E. JANIS & COMPANY, mc. CONTACT: Phil ?UBLIC RELATIONS 919 North Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60611 vJHHehall 3-1100 FOR : ~OIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATIO ~\;~ . e.dison Strreet Chicago, Illinois 60602 CHICAGO, July 9--Black leadership in Chicago the concept of "black capitalism" spelled out by Republican Presidential candidate Richard Nixon, his Illinois campaign chief said today. William H. Rentschler, Illinois for Nixon State Chairman, made the stateInent in the first of a series of "frank, pull-no-punches" reports on urgent Illinois problems and citizen attitudes which Rentschler said the former Vice President has asked him to prepare. The initial report, Hhich has been fOrHarded directly to Nixon, is based on a fact-finding mission, by Rentschler and two other Nixon aides, to the West and South Sides of Chicago and on meetings vIi th black leaders. Rentschler said Nixon has asked him to make additional reports covering a Hide range of issues and institutions. "After all," said Rentschler in explaining the new campaign technique, "a Presidential candidate can't be everyHhere at once in this huge and complex land of ours. He needs eyes and ears and advocates throughout the country. We are sir ~.?J.y trying to convey Mr. Nixon's ideas and concern to the citizens of Illinois ,vhile providing him with greater insight into their wishes and Horries, and with deeper understanding of their interests." Among the major points in Rentschler's first report Here these: 1. Black leadership in Chicago strongly endorses the concept of "black capitalism" spelled out by Nixon in recent speeches. Many black people, hOvl€~ ver, are 1m.avrar,,= that Nixon has taken the lead in proposing this appro(>"ch tmvard ending the squal or and despair of the ghetto. - more ) A::::D ONE/ILLINOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION 2. Black leaders say they and their people \'Tant more opportunity to see and he <>. !' Nixon on thej.r home-grounds. They "Tant to question him directly on his ideas, a.pproaches, and specific programs. This is equally true of other Presidental candidates. 3. The death of Sen. Robert Kennedy has left a void in the black community. Black people are seeking a leader to whom they can turn. Black leaders in Chicago feel Nixon can make significant inroads into the black vote if he can get his vievvs across to black people and convince them of his sincerity and. concern. 4. Militant black leaders feel their people have been used and held in virtual bondage by the Democrat power structure in Chicago. Their overriding objective is to overturn the Daley machine, which they feel has been repressive, giving only lip service to their main aims. They blame the Daley machine for much of black Chicago's misery. 5. Despite their strong anti-Daley bias, many blacks in Chicago have a long standing, deep-seated prejudice against the Republican party. Many vote Democrat by habit and are unable to give cogent reasons for this practice. They profess to be !lopen-minded!l at this point and a goodly number probably can be "converted" ':Jy the right Republican candidate. 6. Black leaders express the view that Sen. Charles Percy as the Republican candidate f or Vice President \vould significantly increase Nixon's acceptance among black voters. Percy's appearances in Chicago ghetto areas during the spring riots and shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King made a deep impression. By contrast, they note that Daley flew over the burned-out areas in a helicopt,er. 7. There is a strong desire among black people to improve and up !7, ra~e the areas where they now live. This to many is more realistic than the idea of Y0.ovj.ng to the suburbs. Black people ,{ant the opportunity to ovm and manage busine3ses where they now live, and they ,{ant to know that the bet ter-paying, higher-prestige - more ) ADD nrO/ILLll'JOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION jobs in these areas are available to them. Despite sometimes deplorable living conditions, long-time residents off he West and South sides of Chicago have pride in and deep attachment to those areas, and they want to see thos, ~ areas improved. They are not for the most part inclined to move if conditions can be improved significantly and soon where they are. 8. Youth Power, Inc., a not-for-profit private employment service, is sponsoring a small plant in the Lawndale area of Chicago which will assemble wall banners picturing black leaders like Dr. King. The plant will employ approximately 22 teen-agers and is being undenrritten by private enterprise. This idea could be expanded both within the Lawndale corr~unity and into other areas. Other sound Tl concepts used by the Chicago branch of Youth Power include a It job fair which attracted to the ghetto recruiters from 26 companies; a private bus system to trans port ghetto workers to higher-paying jobs in the suburbs; and free employment counseling service for ghetto youths. 9. Many women receiving public aid Hho ,rant to work are unable to do so because of the absence or inadequacy of day-care centers where their children can be cared for while they are at work. Reliable day-care centers are desperately needed. 10. The black commLUlity is deeply depressed and disillusioned by promises made and promptly broken by government agencies ranging from the local to the national level. Many blacks are skeptical of all promises because they have been disappointed so often. This is a major factor in the latent bitterness which results in various mass disorders and individual Im'7lessness. Rentschler was joined on the initial fact-finding mission by Connie Mack Higgins, an executive of the First National Bank of Chicago and a Cook County Area Chairman for Nixon, and by Thomas N. Jacob, a Bloomington attorney. - 30 ) rK /->< " N XON FOR PRESIDENT COMMITTEE, 0 ) -/- NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS, (~'( C li 1726 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 July 1, 1968 TO: RN John Mitchell· FROM: Pat Hillings I discussed my new campaign assignment with Bob Haldeman in New York late last week. I am pleased with the mission and I will be available f~Lt~e, ~~PO!_~tin.g to my New York Headquarters office next"Mo-rid ~y. - 'I am flying to California tonight- to assist- Bob "Nesen and the California Committee in opening various headquarters around the State and to make sure we are off to a good start in establishing our California organi zation. Meanwhile, I have given some thought to the new assignment and I suggest the following outline of points which should be covered by the new opera tion: 1. A daily analysis of statements made by the opposition which means Hubert Humphrey primarily. We should have access to daily reports and I will ship my video tape equipment to New York which we can utilize in monitoring opposition telecasts, etc. 2. We should establish a broader base of intelligence sources on Capitol Hill, with the press, and elsewhere. We should endeaver to have contacts established within the opposition campaign staff. We should have someone (perhaps a friendly member of the press corps) watching HHH on the road and keeping in contact with his staff people. \ ! \ I 4. I . should meet personally with all of the RN state chairmen and have someone designated in each state to work with us in obtaining state \ ~~ , ments, letters to the editor, etc. to counter-attack the enemy on ~ the local level. I Y 5. I have several Congressional staff sources whom I have approached 1 confidentially who have ag-.ceed to provide ille with daily analysis of the opposition activities and who will also help in planting counter-attack statements. ) 6. We should develop creative ideas as to statements and ways and means of attacking the opposition. I have several ideas in mind as to this which I will discuss in person. 7. I would like to keep the staff for this project small especially in view of the confidential nature of the assignment. I will need a good secretary who is especially competent in taking dictation and handling the telephone. I also wish to transfer Jean Croft from the Congressional Liaison operation in Washington to New York to assist in handling the various contacts we will be making around the country in view of her thirteen years experience in national campaigns and the fact that she knows personally many of the people we will be asking for assistance and cooperation. In addition to volunteer help from Capitol Hill and certain other sources, we may need at least one additional staff member who has some journalistic ability who could aid us in preparing state ments attacking the opposition, letters to the editor, etG. The new office space at 445 Park Avenue will, I hope, allow for at least three people in this operation and I believe it important that my offices be private because of the confidential nature of this activity. 8. I also understand I am to assist all campaign personnel in strengthen ing our contacts with friends around the country and to be especially helpful in certain areas where there is a feeling that there is little or no contact with the overall campaign. I consider this assignment especially important as we must develop more enthusiasm for RN all across the country and too many of our friends are constantly complain ing that they are not being consulted or don't know what's going on. Some of them may not be too important or helpful at this stage but a negative attitude on their part can hurt us. I will be happy to do everything I can in this regard. If you need me before I report to YO·Qr office next Monday, you may reach me at any of the following numbers in Los Angeles: (213) 385-3048, my Los Angeles law office (213) 482-4500, Nixon Los Angeles headquarters (213) EL 5-0431, my home I am looking forward to working with John Mitchell and the rest of the staff in New York.

Nov we CaD. only wait -- and pray. Opinioa polls this morning sugg.at to me that the A.erican people may have been swayed by President Johnson', r ecent order to stop our attacke ot Nortb Vietnam. If that interpretation i8 correct, 1 feel an urgent obligation to offer " theee obaervations : Firat, Richard Mixon deserve8 the plaudits of the American people for his extraordinarily responsible conduct of hi' campaign vi. - a -vi~ Vietnam. Bia outspoken 8upport of the Preaident throughout the campaign in ..jor measure gave the Preeident the freedom to t ake hi. ction. Second, even though the President'. action, taken just before the election, seemed likely to bave political reper cualioa. adverae to his own fort une., Richard Mixon resiat ed all pre.surea to challeage the actiOD on political groundl. In the circume.. ces, this mult have taken extreme self-reltratnt. Again 1 suggelt that all of U8 Ihould salute Richard Mixon for it. Third, the adversities that have developed in the President'a program since the bombing baIt wa. announced have euggelt ed to ny peopl e that the President act d haatily, perhaps aeeking to influence the election. But again -- Mr. Nixon withheld critici... I suggest that this reltraint warrants natioul cOlDIDendationi. Finally, only yelterday Richard NixoD, under interrogation on a utional televi.ion progra., reiterated his view that the President had acted properly -- again he decl ined to attribute political motivations -- and then he went further, offeriDg hie support of the President and Secretary of Stat. after election to help win the atruggle for peace 10.

This Will ld be more acceptable than leaving him in Pittsburgh all afternoon fighting off the hacks where we are really going to have a problem; not one that can1t be solved but one that will leave considerable bitterness. Also note pages 11 and 12 which shows it is pos sible for RN to do San Antonio, Fort Worth, Amarillo and El Paso and arrive at the Century Plaza about 10:45 p. m. PST which will really be 12:45 on his east time zone clock. I think this is pretty rough considering the motorcade the next day. On the othe r hand he will be going for broke as V.£ corne down the stretch. Please let me know your thoughts on Texas. Note also on page 10 I show him overnight in Duluth after the Syracuse rally with the morning off and a noon rally in Duluth. Let me know soonest if you want to lock that one.

HOLLOMAN III CHIEF COUNSEL AND STAFF DIRECTOR October 16, 1968 Honorable Donald L. Jackson Nixon for President Washington, D. C. Dear Don: Recalling your request for a report from time to time on what issues are being most discussed by the people back home, I want to pass on one or two impressions picked up during a tour through Western Nebraska last week. I found a number of persons '07ondering whether Dick Nixon will be "tough on communism. II While you and I would have imagined that no one could doubt Dickls strong anti-communist stand, in view of his outstanding record in the House and Senate and his numerous statements so far in the campaign, I think it would be 'o7e11 if the people in New York reviewed this matter . The concern expressed to me was focused primarily on subversion in this country, but also reflected an interest in "standing up to the conmunists" in our foreign relations. I would be interested in what reaction you get to this suggestion. With kind personal regards, Roman L. Hruska U. S.
