Miscellaneous
1) Paul Keyes - He should not be behind the Platform as Chapin at one time suggested. Instead, he should probably be at niami Beach ~'lriting quips that can be fed to various people during the Convention. 2) Bill Tim,'1lons \Vill have a plan of alternate program 'ming, press conferences and caucus teams. 3) Timmons is having a problem with Ehrlichman and Rose regarding a list of spokesmen at the Platform but believes they can resolve the matter. 4) Reagan should not be the introducer of the President because he is Temporary Chairman. 5) Rockefeller will nominate the President and he is locked.
6} Bob said that Ed Brooks should not be the Moderator ,as t,hat ~vould be too obvious f but he should have a role in the panel of keynoters. 7) Concerning Dick Lugar, Bob mentioned that he should probably be included in the panel.
8} Concerning Governor Evans, there was general agree ment that he might be useful because he will read a script given to him.
9) Bob noted that Bush cannot be used. Neither can Red Blount per Haldeman and Bob jabbed at Tinul10ns for making such a stupid suggestion.
10) \'ilien TirrlTlons mentioned that there were very fe\-l ethnics and ;'lO::ncn, Bob sug sted that Timmons ';·;ork directly \·:i th Balzano and Franklin to get this worked out.
11) Concerning the Heritage Gala on Sunday night, Bob sugges ted that .;.Irs. Nixon attend while the girls do the regular Gala. ~IE~IOg:\:,\I){~1

MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN (j /
FROM: DWIGHT L. CHAP~
SUBJECT: Convention
Attached to this memorandum you will find two memos. One is a critique of our present Convention program by Tex McCrary. It is felt that Tex is overly critical of the Convention plan and, in particular, overreacting to Reagan and Anne Armstron.g. It is attached just so you will be aware of his thinking. Undoubtedly he is right in terrrlS of some of the feel of our present program since he has no idea as t~~...,h,~.~~.!;!.::c:!2:J?:S9.~!~,-.t;;:~,~ng is{J,rP anned. ;'li) i' .. ~ ~.~ ';."''$~".\ e; , - 4 , L",- " .'ct"'.ti<-s .~V\, . t,,,,.,,,,,o"t,,J """" Also attached is a copy'or-the :rbEfmorandum which Safire sent you today. It plays off the conversation he had with Howard K. Smith. The main point here being that the President's and Vice President's acceptance speeches should be on different nights.
Dick Moore and I met with Garment, Scali and Satire this morni.ng in order to discuss Safire's recommendation that the President and Vice President speak on separate nights. After considerable discussion I think we are all in unanimous consent that we should put the Vice President! s nomination and acceptance speech on the second evening.
We would recommend the following alterations in the program:
T UESDA Y NIGHT
Main Elements:
1. Opening of Convention.
2. Possible series of Democratic speakers urging other Democrats to support the President. 2
TUESDAY NIGHT (Cont' d):
3. Nomination of the President by Rockefeller•
4. .Secon.:ding Speeches.
5. Demonstration as the President goes over the ,.' ~ ~ ,~.' ".' {I r ~ii' 6. Cutawa y to President departing White House and brief interview on the South Grounds as he boards helicopter•., He would state his pleasure at being renominated, state, (I~" that he is looking forward to addressing the Convention~..:~~.·:.~ delegates the next evening.
7. The Vice President's nomination.
8. A cceptance speech by the Vice Pres ident.
Note: This will make a long evening. If we roll along and cut back our demonstration times, we- sh'ould ,.be able ,t"9",get the Vice President on the air~~~1l:00 or~1:.15_p'Jl1:~ EDT. The one element which has been moved out of the evening activities is the film on Nixon, the Man which, ",: we will put the evening of the acceptance speech.

1. The Opening. (') 2. Film -- Nixon, the Man. If ."
\!, I. 3. Introduction of the Pres ident. (It has been suggested that perhaps we use a nonpolitical figure. 'We're trying to determine who that could be. )
4. President's acceptance speech.
Note: We would hope that this se s sion would not begin until around 9:00 p. m. with the President! s speech coming around 9:45 p. m. ./

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES FROM MEETING WITH MOORE, SAFIRE SCALI AND CHAPIN:
1. A nne A rmstrong would not be interpreted as a Texas fat cat. It would be good having a woman open the Convention. more 2. We should find/of our new and more upcoming types to work on the COZ{!~,~~n."
4. Scali informed us that he has intelligence from the network people that he! s talked to that they're taking some of their better reporters and putting them on the demonstration activities for the Republican Convention. He says they expect there will be more trouble and want to cover it with their better people.
5. We should have a Democrats for Nixon n~:)s ~o~(~;£ence, maybe on two different days in Miami. ".~ llif •
6. There is some concern over using the young {irl fro"m South Carolina as one of the three main keynote speakers. It is felt that we should do a survey of State Legislature women around the country to find the 'most articulate woman spokesmen we can find who is a Republican. Right
now we have a Governor, a Senator, a Mayor, and if w~ " \ can get a State Legislator type it would fit perfectly. " : ,~.;,.: t ::>1 ,,/'. ';'T'
7. There is some concern over Sammy Davis, Jr. Garment and Moore feel that he's wrong and does not represent our constituency. It is It that would be misinterpreted by some of our constituency. They feel he should not do the National Anthem but that if he did one song like "This is My Countryll or lIMy Country 'Tis of Theell that it would be fine. We may try to work him in the program that way. The other suggestion was to use him as a seconder. '-,' 4
8. No one can be found that's for having Kate Smith in the program. We have dropped that idea unless you want to dictate that she should be in the program. ~ J/1 cc: Dick Moore fiP Bill Timmons .Bill Carruthers PEHSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAl,------

FROM: Tex McCrary
SUBJECT: Convention Irnpact
1. At the discussion of the convention program with both of you during \vhich I voiced the vehen'1ent objection to an opening impression fronl which the President will have to struggle to escape, I have since thoroughly reviewed every aspect and accent and focal point, every headline, picture and caption that might come out of it, and this is my SUlTlmary judgelucnt:
2. This is not Nixon's convention, it is Gold,,Vater' s. This is not the Spirit of '76 or even '72 -- it is 164 and '48. It is the convention that produced the LBJ landslide, and Truman's upset of Tom Dewey.
3. It makes the McGovern convention by comparison look like Oklahoroa and South Pacific and My Fair Lady and Funny Girl and Fiddler on the Hoof.
4. The lv1cGovern convention made rising stars; the Nixon convention uses faded stars.
5. You vote that you open with a \.vornan - -)Ann Armstrong is not a ~ "~ "'loman, she is fat cat Texas kine:" ranch. .,i .. .?"/1 ~'~-'~~{;.,~Y... ,",,' f> , v:.:" ~if~;:·~:r:;;·' ~,-·;tc.",~ 6. The don,inate name that hits the eye and ear first is Ronald Reagan, who could not carry his 0\\'11 state even a 8t Pat Brown this year. In the year when corge '\VaUace n,acle tax reforlu an issue \vith as H1uch sex app02.1 as busing, Honalc1 Hcagan cornesthrough still as the lTlillionaire governor who paid no state taxes. -'"/'I '\, .",,;<:'_.~' ,..;...yv'~"J>
7. Heagan will over shadow the only hlack face in the opening line -up, Ed B1'oo1(e -- who is scarcely a hero to blacks ",nd s been often as maverick as Javits. -2
8. In the year where there is a chance that tbe President can crack the critical Jewish vote in the leey cities, the only Jew prominent in the line-up of your convention is ScnTIITlY Del_vis, Jr. -- who will be relnenibercd throughout the South as a black 'who n1arried a white girl and then dis carded her. And you have him singing the National AnthelTI! Why not Sinatra, whoITl s0l11ebody wanted to take to Moscow. c:t-r;,Yt,.,~c...-~·" J 9. In a year wben with the help of the Jewish vote af1d the split in labor, you n1ight crack Chicago and Los Angeles and MialTIi and New York City, the only voice of the cities is lost behind Reagan and Brooke in the key-note quartet -- Mayor Luger of Indianapolis. And labor is as I speechless here as in McGovern 1 s sho"\v.//1_~~... ,~:' 1;i'!'lt'i'f·1,\~t;',j \:,;;0 'r ...:? <., ...... - f'::" 1,..." t.» \/ ." \,Y ",'" I j II V 10. When Dv,right said that II-We have to \vork Goldwater in sOITlewhere, II he neednlt worry -- Barry is already everywhere, the spirit of 164.
11. It is true tbat you have a touch of class in JiITlmy Stewart and even Clint Eastwood and Johnny Cash; and nostalgia in John IV-ayne and even Pat Boone; and both class and nostalgia in Mam.ie Eisenhower - but fron1 the opening shot of this nlOmnnental bore, I keep expecting to see Bob Doe or Ronald Reagan introduce Jimnly Hoffa and Harold Janine and Carsv:ell and Haynsworth and Martha Mitchell and Hedda Hopper and all the other grinning ghosts working to help McGovern win in the closing week of 172 as Huniphrcy "\vas "\vinning at the finish in 168.
12. The feel and smell of this Ni.'{on conventjon of 172 is frighteningly reITlinif;cent of the euphoria that beat Torn Dewey - - I stayed for Deweyl s closing Madison Square Garden rally in '48 and watched in horr9r an audience walk out on bis speech and next day on NBC I said, IILast night, Ton1 Dewey lost the elction. II
13. The insensitiviiy of this spectacle is frighteningly rcrn.iniscent of t118 in~wlated arrogance of t11e Taft gang, which "\ve attacked in the :Mac1i o;on Square Garden rally for Eisenhower in the winter of 152. And in Chicago, starting with the young TCXaJ1S I brought to that rally, Taft was routed the "\'Jay tbe McGovern gang took Hun1phrey and Wallace and Muskie and JacJ\.bon and Me;:nlY and Daley. The sanie tide is rising agel in. But for the Dcnlocrats. -3
14. No;,,, I knmv why that battle cry for the '72 canipaign cantC from - IlNixon now lTIOrC th~tn eveI'll is l1in your he;:trt you know hel s right", plus 8 and spel] cd bac1c'\vards, but not in Hebrew.
15. Johnny Unitas in this line-up has only threc pass receivcrs Maniie and Pat and tbe President -- and nothi but ho] es in his poch:cts to give hini protection "LUltil he can get rid of the ball.
16. esident ac e speech better be better than olnl s Gettysburg s s - - and it l' be full of quotes that will finally get him into Bartlettl s and give hini a headline for the canipaign equal to III 1 t 11··A- If /"'""A.i~ nevcr S 100 ) ar.1\..s . ...-~_____ ~~
17. And you better figure out a way fa st to ~. Kissi:;er. and(~()nnagy~ into the Convention line-up; and get Agne'\v into black-face to play Jimluy Brown.
18. Also Itthe only man '\vho can beat is Ni."'{on!t -- no\v he can add the architects of this convention to that list of one.
19. After the PcJdng trip, I '\vrote across the bundle of dUnes: !'Look Out for Loose Boards". In this convention structure, it is hard to find anyi:hing but loose boards.
20. In introducing Agnew at the He Dilmcr I tried to niake two points: IINot since Disraeli s any imrnigrant Jew been brought to such biblical power by any great power as Ricb2_rd Nixon has given to Dr. Henry Kis r. In Anierica no politicaJ party can becOlne, or de serve s to become a ority party, uniil rninoritj e B feel at horne within it. f! This Nixon convention, as outlined, even to A Bunker is pure early California Y{ASP, Hight raclc.
21. In terniS of show hiz there isn1t a belly laugh or a roar, not even a ehucl:le or a knuc]dc in the v"ho1e lineup - no sex, only X. In tel'JTIs of dranla, no 8uspcnse, no gut CHlOtion ex Ivl;:nnie, 110 encore! In te1'n18 of news, no 110ad1ines. In tenns of hi~;tory, it is as sharply foeu sed and significant and clcciri cas Dave Mahoneyl s pJans for the Bi centennial. -4
I-fad a good lTlceting \vith three key guys on Agnew's SUHuncrs, Dalngaarcl and Goodca Based on working \vith theln by phone on the Zionist and Heritage rs, they seerned genuinely hospitable, not at all resentful or 5U cious at my office. To sit with thexn {rorn brne to tiJne for sug stions, review, and preview. They accept even t.bOllgh Connally is my Iri end, I an1 not his man. A s I have suggested to Dick, perhaps the best way I can be helpful to aU of you fron1 now on is to be helpful as I can to Agnew -- I think your boss is going to need a very good fullback to score on the gm lmd, the lTIudcly grouml, until his instincts and scars him it is safe to put the ball in the air.
Around John Price and Queens, which is Archie Bunker country and the key to the New York State election, '.,ve will try to set up a ct prototype can,paign for any strategic urban area. In that territory Agnev/ will have rnore candle power tlian any rn.ovie star, second only to the President, if the esident comes into the cHm.ax. My gut instinct and scars tell Inc that this weird campaign will be won in Hanoi, '\Vall Street, and oHwr chancey places like Queens -- not on Pennsylvania Avenue. ·.

MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. HALDEMAN ()~
FROM: DWIGHT L. CHAP~
SUBJECT: Convention
Attached to this memorandum you will find two memos. One is a critique of our present Convention program by Tex McCrary. It is felt that Tex is overly critical of the Convention plan and, in particular, overreacting to Reagan and Anne Armstrong. It is attached just so you will be aware of his thinking. Undoubtedly he is right in terms of some of the feel of our present program since he has no idea as t~1;at alte..;:.na::~p"r.2g!2;:;,:R;n.lln~anned.
Also attached is a c~:r'f'~a~ which Safire ~ sent you today. It plays off the conversation he had with Howard K. Smith. The main point here being that the President's and Vice President's acceptance speeches should be on different nights.
Dick Moore and I met with Garment, Scali and Safire this morning in order to discuss Satire's recommendation that the President and Vice President speak on separate nights. After consi.derable discussion I think we are all in unanimous consent that we should put the Vice President's nomination and acceptance speech on the second evening.
We would recommend the following alterations in the program:
TUESDAY NIGHT
Main Elements:
1. Opening of Convention.
2. Possible series of Democratic speakers urging other Democrats to support the President. r ,
2
TUESDAY NIGHT '(Cont'd):
3. Nomination of the President by Rockefeller.
4.
5. Demonstrati.on as the President goes
6. Cutaway to President departing White House and brief interview on the South Grounds as he boards helicopter. He would state his pleasure at being renominated, stat~'4 !l that he is looking forward to addressing the Convention~ delegates the next evening.
7. The Vice President's nomination.
8. A cceptance speech by the Vice Pres ident.
Note: This will make a long evening. If we roll along and cut ~) back our demonstration times t--~~e_-,~,ple ~e.~~ ",-v. , the Vice President on the a~t 11:90 oEl!~ EDT. ~ The one element which has been moved out of the " ~-..... j evening activities is the film on Nixon, the Man whi.ch ,f) ~r we wi.ll put the evening of the acceptance speech. ~ ~':I WEDNESDAY EVENING /1 JD
Main Elements:
1. The Opening.
2. Film -- Nixon, the Man.
3. Introduction of the Presi.dent. {It has been suggested that~ "'-r(fJV~ perhaps we use a nonpolitical figure. 'We're trying to I ~ ( determine who that could be. )
4. President's acceptance speech.
Note: ( . 3
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES FROM MEETING WITH MOORE, SAFIRE SCA LI AND CHAPIN:
1. Anne Armstrong would not be interpreted as a Texas fat cat. /?rj(t,~ It would be good having a woman open the Convention. "'1' more 2. We should find/of our new and more upcoming types to work on the Conveqtion...we ne7,d to get a list of the comers.
3. Reagan is~~";;fL~~ still e~tr~mely popular even thpugh he may be weak in California. He has not appeared on national television in a long time and can be very powerful at our Convention but he should not be overused. If he l s going to be the Temporary .-" Chairman. J!.e should pot be .t.r~Y.re s.!:!ential, intr".~£E.. o.;~
4. Scali informed us that he has intelligence from the network people that he's talked to that they're taking some of their better reporters and putting them on the demonstration activities for the Republican Convention. He says they expect there will be more trouble and want to cover it with their better people.
5. We should have a Democrats for Nixon n~)s ~0nf;j)}nce, maybe on two different days in Miami. ~/1'f '
6. There is some concern over using the young girl from South Carolina as one of the three main keynote speakers. It is felt that we should do a survey of State Legislature )' women around the country to find the most articulate woman spokesmen we can find who is a Republican•. Right .l "b .' now we have a Governor, a Senator, a Mayor, and 1f w~ 'u;" .,.,...,_.",.., can get a State Legislator type it would fit perfectly. i{).~VA~
7. There is some concern over Sammy Davis, Jr. Garment and Moore feel that he t s wrong and does not represent our constituency. It is felt that he would be misinterpreted by f? some of our constituency. They feel he should not do the/'~, ;t~~ National Anthem but that if he did one song like "This is (,..,;";'!/ My Countrytl or "My Country 'Tis of Theel! that it would be lr fine. We may try to work him in the program that way. I The other suggestion was to use h~::~,:~~~~":;~!.:. J // .I'll . t /'·~Vlll ( .;;;;.-V .,.~ I"'~" . •
, ,Ie Vi 4
8. No one can be found that's for having Kate Smith in the program. We have dropped that idea unless you want to dictate that she should be in the program. l cc: Dick Moore /IP Bill Timmons Bill Carruthers L
PERSONJ\L AND CONFIDENTIAL
TO: D\vight Chapin Dick Moore
FROM: Tex McCrary
SUBJECT: Convention Impact
1. At the discnssion of the convention prograln with both of you during \vhich I voiced the vehernent objection to an opening impression from which the sident will have to struggle to escape, I have since thoro-l<;hly revie\ved every a spect and accent and focal point, every headline, picture and caption that might come out of it, and this is my sUlumary judgelnent:
2. This is not Nixon's convention, it is Goldwater's. This is not the Spirit of '76 or even '72 -- it is '64 and '48. It is the convention that produced the LBJ landslide, and Truman's upset of Tom Dewey.
3. It make s the McGovern convention by comparison look like Oklahoma and South Pacific and My Fair Lady and Funny Girl and Fiddler on the Roo£.
4. The :McGovern convention made rising stars; the Nixon convention uses faded stars.
5. You vote that you open with a won1a~ ~ )Ann Arrnstrong is not a woman, she is fat cat Texas king ranch. W~ ~ 6. The dominate name that hits the eye and ear first is Ronald Reagan, who could not carry his 0\\111 state even against Pat Brow11 this year. In the year when George "\Vallace Inade tax reform an issue with as much sex appeal as busing, Ronald Reagan conlc.s--:through still as the millionaire -'..'~ governor who paid no state taxes. 7~
7. Reagan will overshadow the only black face in the opening line up, Ed Brooke - who is scarcely a hero to blacks and has been often as mavcric], as Javits. NO ~' i "
-2
8. In the year where there is a chance that the President can crack the critical Jewish vote in the key cities, the only Jew prominent in the line-up of your convention is Salnmy Davis, Jr. -- who will be remembered throughout the South as a black who married a white girl and then dis carded her. And you have him singing the National Antheln! Why not Sinatra, whom somebody wanted to take to Moscow. ~
9. In a year when with the help of the Jewish vote afJd the split in labor, you m.ight crack Chicago and Los Angeles and Miami and New York City, the only voice of the cities is lost behind Reagan and Brooke in the key-note quartet -- Mayor Luger of Indianapolis. And lab~ speechless here as in McGovern's show. ~e:R.~ ?r _ _ ..
10. When Dwight said that "IVe have Qwork Goldwater in somewhere, II he needn1t worry -- Barry is already everywhere, the spirit of 164.
11. It is true that you have a touch of class in Jimmy Stewart and even Clint Eastwood and Johnny Cash; and nostalgia in John Wayne and even Pat Boone; and both class and nostalgia in Mamie Eisenhower - but frOln the opening shot of this monUlnental bore, I keep expecting to see Bob Doe or Ronald Reagan introduce Jilnmy Hoffa and Harold Janine and Carswell and Haynsworth and Martha Mitchell and Hedda Hopper and all the other grinning ghosts working to help McGovern win in the closing week of 172 a s Humphrey wa s winning at the finish in 168.
12. The feel and Slnell of this NLxon convention of 172 is frighteningly reminiscent of the euphoria that beat Tom. Dewey - - I stayed for Deweyl s closing Madison Square Garden. rally in 148 and watched in horror an audience walk out on his speech and next day on NBC I said, "Last night,
Tom Dewey lost the elction. II
13. The insensitivity of this spectacle is frighteningly reminiscent of the insolated arrogance of the Taft gang, which we attacked in the Madison Square Garden rally for Eisenhower in the winter of 152. And in Chicago, starting with the young Texans I brought to that rally, Taft was routed the \vay the McGovern gang took HUlnphrey and IVallace and Muskie and Jackson and Meany and Daley. The saIne tide is rising again. But for the Democrats. - 3
14. Now I know why that battle cry for the '72 campaign carne from "Nixon now 1nore than ever'l is "in your heart you know he's right", plus 8 and spelled backwards, but not in Hehrew.
15. Johnny Unitas in this line-up has only three pass receivers Mantic and Pat and the President -- and nothing but holes in his pockets to give him protection until he can get rid of the ball.
16. The President acceptance speech better be better than Lincolnl s Gettysburg Address -- and it better be full of quotes that will finally get him into Bartlett's and give him. a headline for the canlpaign equal to "I never shoot bla(.b" . ~
17. And you better figure out a way fast to ~e..!'__a..nsl.:c:;g.n?j:li;-:-~ into the Convention line-up; and get Agne\-v into black-face to play Jitnlny Brown.
18. Also "the only man who can beat Nixon is Nb::on" -- now he can add the architects of this convention to that list of one.
19. After the Peking trip, I wrote across the bundle of headlines: "Look Out for Loose Boards", In this convention structure, it is hard to find anything but loose boards.
20. In introducing Agnew at the Heritage Dhmer I tried to make two points: "Not since Disraeli has any irnmigrant Jew been brought to such biblical power by any great power as Richard Nixon has given to Dr. Henry Kis singer. Tn America no political party can becOlne, or de serve s to become a rnajority party, until nlinoritie s feel at horne within it. 11 This Nixon convention, as outlined, even to Archie Bunker is pure early California WASP, Hight parade.
21. In terms of show biz there isn't a belly laugh or a roar, not even a chuckle or a knuckle in the whole lineup - no sex, only X. In terms of dralna, no suspense, no gut emotion except lv1amie, no encore! In terms of news, no headlines. In terlns of history, it is as sharply focused and significant and electric as Dave Mahoney's plans for the Bicentennial. ------~----
-4
New Snbiect: Had a good rneeting '\vith three key guys on Agnew's staff Sum,mers, Damgaard and Goodearle. Based on working with them by phone on the Zionist and Heritage Dinners, they seemed genuinely hospitable, not at all resentful or suspicious at my office. To sit with them frorn tilne to tilYle for suggestions, review, and preview. They accept even though Connally is lYly friend, I am not his nlall. As I have suggested to Dick, perhaps the best way I can be helpful to all of you fron~ now on is to be helpful as I can to Agnew -- I think your boss is going 1:0 need a very good fullback to score on the gro und, the muddy grou.'d, until his instincts and sca1's tell him it is safe to put the ball in the air.
New subiect: Around John Price and Queens, which is Archie Bunker country and the key to the New York State election, we \vi11 try to set up a perfect prototype carnpaign for any strategic urban area. In that territory Agnew will have more candle power than any m.ovie star, second only to the President, if the President COlYles into the clilYlax. My gut instinct and scars tell Ine that this weird calYlpaign will be won in Hanoi, Wall Street, and other chancey places like Queens -- not on Pennsylvania A venue.

BLACI< DELEGATES: While b al inform.ation is tchy, early indications are that there are only six Black Delegates and a few n,ore Alternates. The contrast between DelTIOC ratic & GOP conventions will be disastrous. California and New York leaders have given up their seats for nlinorities and have beCOHle '!honorary dele s. I!
1£ other state Republican bigshots could follow the California and New York leads we nlight have a few lTIOre Blacks. Is this sOlnething your political anTI can do?

June 28, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: ED HARPER FROM: CHARLES COLSON Do 1 correctly assume that you are doing an analysis of the Democratic Platform both a8 to cost and political impact? It would seem to m.e if we analy•• the Democratic Platform. it will give rhe to thoughts for our own where we want to draw a contrast or alternatively where we want to duck an issue. I noted with very spedal intere8t George Meany's comments yesterday and he raised what is with labor a very key point. i. e. the export of jobs. If you read Meany's remarks in full, you will see tha.t what he is saying is the Democratic Party should be more concerned with American capital going abroa.d resulting in exports of jobs than in such things as a.bortion, women's lib. etc. In this area. 1 think we could do some very. very effective demagoguing if we could write a plank that hits this issue head on. It would not only ring bells with Meany, but would give Don Rodgers. our labor man. something to really sell acr088 the country. The labor people don1t undeJ'stand the issue of "export of job8" bas become something 01 a code word with labor. but that language alone would be useful. Colt,ld you explore thil and let me know what the prospects are because there is an opportunity tor real political exploitation here. \IE\IOR.\:'\ fH \1 THE \\'IITTE lIOl SE June 23, 1972 11:30 a. lll.

Also, 'lJe can rent a three-bedroom apartment in the Octagon Bllilding immediately in front of the Convention hall and use it as the office for the flost Committee. You may recall Nelson Rockefeller used rooms in thisbllildi.ng as his command post in 1968. Durin15 the convention period, tbis facility can ser"'e as Youth Headquarters. The Danielsons should solicit other prominent Floridians to serve on the committee. Individuals Like the Frank Bormans, Jim Geraghtys, Loren Berrys, Alvah Chapmans, Sam Higginbottoms, Dr. Butari, etc. I would hope the Host Committee could underwrite the expenses of the office and staff which I estimate to be: 1..
