MEMORANDUM FOR LARRY HIGBY
11m returning the memo from Jack Gleason. lIve never heard of Kent Smith before, and knew nothing about the ads. The ads are great and the names are good, but I have no idea who arranged it- -if anyone.

MEMORANDUM FOR LAWRENCE M. HIGBY
From: Jack A. Gleason Re: November 1969 ads for our Vietnam Policy
Larry~ Not that it matters greatly at this late date, but I enclose herewith a note to me from Kent Smith regarding some ads placed last year. Smith's letter is self-explanatory except that he omits the fact that he was originally told the cost of the ads would be equally divided among all signers of the ad. Ironically, there appear to be no poor men on this ad; yet, of them, only Kent Smith has been a substantial contributor to us both in '68 and '70. Whoever coordinated this thing from the White House owes some explanation to Smith, for while he is 100% with us this is a pretty good way to turn him off.

Z0036 Dear Jack, Some time ago, when I mentioned that I had paid a substantial part of the costs of several half-page advertisements supporting the administration's policy on Vietnam, yen expressed an interest in having more information. Enclosed is a clipping of the advertisement which appeared in The Christian Science Monitor on Monday, November 17,1969. The same half page advertisement appeared in four other large city newspapers as indicated in the enclosed copy of the paid invoice of the agency running the advertisements. The total cost was $lZ, 790.39•. My con tribution was $11,569.39. If you are interested in knowing the names and amount s of the othe r parties contributing, I can list them for you.
