Haldeman Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Bob: The following was first presented to my by Bob King, who as you know was Administrative Assistant to the President when he was Vice President. I then met with Francis "Frank" Hand, whose resume is enclosed. You will note that he has been with the Defense De partment and received a certificate for meritorious service on September 7, 1971. It is his feeling that public support is needed for the President's program involving peace and military security. Perhaps this is a subject which can be referred to Chuck Colson or whoever you designate to see if a group outside of the White House and outside of the campaign can be activated in support of the President.

Enlivened citizen-level organizations will put the material into play with a clear citizens' self-interest tag. The public impant of comment by prestige figures in news media I intellectual circles, bus iness and politics will be generated by a series of stimulating brie ng notes for a selective list of such opinion leaders. The Citizens Information Service will require a very special collection and presentation of current news about the world scene. There must be operational passing to Americans at Main Street level and the promotion of self-interest feeling in the President's action program for peace and a mutually beneficial world community relationship. The project can be undertaken by one uniquely qualified operator supported by some contracted staff help and some developmental expenditures. The project can be activated easily as a client account of an existing law or public relations firm. Budget for Citizens Information Service operations for the first year on a lean but useful basis should be: Director's salary •••• .$ 20,000.00 Contract assistance • 20,000.00 Typist. and supplies • • • • 7,500.00 Collection, Production support. 8,500.00 Prt')}lIot:ion i Customer Service • • • • 5,000.00 Office operations center•••• 3,000.00 $ 64,000.00 FRANC!S IIFR.AN1{11 H" HAND 2919 r~.

A. 1HS NEWARK, NEW JERSEY 07104 (201) 483·0203 :3 January 1972 The Honorable H. R. Haldeman Assistant to the President The White House Office 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Subj ect, Request for specially prepared 2,000 w.ord statement, 1,000 word biography, 1 pho'cograph / Deadline, 1 February Dear Mr. Haldeman, In Spring 1972 we plan to publish and market a paperbound book titled KNOW YOUR CANDIATES, 'l'HE PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDERS SPEAK OUT. The purpose of this book is to present the personal statements of all the major candidates, os that the reader may compare each and get the essential facts at one reading. We expect this may be the only book of its kind this year. We hope to have it out by the New Hampshire primary in early March. May we respectfUlly request that you or your staff prepare and submit to us a written statement or 'position paper' for President Nixon, for inclusion in this volume. The statement should be 2,000 words or less. But otherthan the word limit, please feel free to organize the paper in any manner you prefer. Headings and sub-headings are encouraged. The material may be either original or this volume, or a re-development from past speeches; of course, we believe an entirely original piece may be salutary. Also, kind have your staff submit a 1,000 word biography and a glossy photograph of President Nixon. Our editors will prepare a biographical section independently, and we will draw upon material submitted by you as well as public references. The photograph, we suggest, should be an 'action' type pose, rather than a portrait--for example, making a speech, presiding at a conference, et creta. But we will print whatever photo you select. Because of printing deadlines, we need these three items before 1 February 1972, preferably sooner. 1 Mr. H. R. Haldeman-Page Two If your staff is unable to compile this by 1st February, we will at that t1me, ourselves, prepare a 2,000 word statement of extracts from your publ1c record. However. we prefer, and we feel you would prefer, that the statement be as current and as representative as possible. Therefore, we hope your staff can meet the deadl1ne, 28 days from date. We very much appreciate your attention to this mater. We trust that inclusion in KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES wi'll give President Nixon a unique, nationwide, permanent forum 1n which to present his ideas to the intereted public. Respectfully, \ Lawrence S.

SAN MARINO., CALIFORNIA 91100 January 20, 1972 Mr Jahn Ehrlichman I ,i The White House Washington, D C .. ! . ·Dear John: .1', ' •• 1 , . i .•, Ii" , : I··; .1 thought that it might be valuable to you to pass along my thoughts on the i • j , ;'_ ' !, .20th Congressional District Campaign which is starting to shape up. As i. · you know, this district'has been represented by H Allen Smith and covers •parts of the Pasadena area as well as portions of the Eastern San Fernando .! Valley around Glendale. It is fundamentally a Republican district and so the real battle probably will be in the primary • . , I' Two years ago Bill McColl gave John Rousselot a tough battle in the 24th .' i ' . , :Congressional race, losing by only about 150 votes in the primary. Bill has just announced his candidacy in the 20th Congressional District and · Rousselot will run in the 24th. Other possible Republican candidates men tioned for the 20th District are Bob Finch and State Senator Richardson ·of Arcadia. Richardson is on extreme conservative which will appeal to a · certain group of vofers in this district in places such as Glendale and Eagle Rock. It would be a shame to see a rerun of the 1970 primary when the two moderate candidates (Hillings and McColl) split the vote, allowing Rousselot to win. For this reason I feel that the entry of Finch into the 20th District race would not be to the best interests of the Republican party since we already have an attractive candidate there in McColl. McColl will be a tough candidate. He almost won last time with an amateur organization and relatively small funds. He has a cadre of en thusiastic people who worked with him in this last campaign, myself included, and we think that we can avoid some of the mistakes which were made last time. Furthermore, Bill is a very attractive candidate personally and now is a political Itnamc" which he really wasn't when he started the 1970 campaign. In a head-to-head race with Richardson Bill definitely would win; in ,a three way race with Finch and Richardson it could be very closc, with the possibility that Richardson could squeak in like Rousselot did. I :.1 , ". , I! • I , I I : i I , ; 1 j j ,: . 1 f ;:' .,!;~ f,·, f J • ,A \ 1:, \ 1 i. t / t I ! Mr John, Ehrichman -2- January 20 I 1972 The likelihood is that Richardson will run. I don't know about Finch. McColl is in the race to the finish.' , i I hope that this information may be helpful to you in appraising what is happening out here. We would hat.e to see a lot of money and energy spent in a battle for a safe seat I particularly if two attractive candidates neutralize each other and permit a third candidate not representative of our 'I views to win. .

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN <:i SUBJECT: Peter Dailex Peter Dailey requests a 15 minute meeting with you to discuss people who worked in the advertising area in 1968. In particular, Dailey wants your assessment of Roger Ailes, Al Scott, Ruth Jones, and Carroll Newton. Dailey also wants to review the general campaign advertising program with you. The last meeting with you, Dailey, and Cliff Miller occured on October 26, 1971. ____~~~~__--Arrange meeting Ask Dailey to submit requests in writing ------Other \. October 30, 1971 MENORANDUl.f . FOR I THE RECORD FROM: GORDON STRACHAN Haldeman, Cliff Miller, Peter Dailey meeting Campaign Advertising On October 26, Peter Dailey, who had just been hired by the Attorney General to be the Advertising Director for the Crunpaign, and Cliff ltiller met with Mr .. Haldeman for one hour to review difficult*es in advertising from the '68 Campaiqn and Bob Haldeman's views about advertising for the 1972 Campaign .. Cliff Hiller opened the meeting' by saying that his purpose was to introduoo Peter Dailey to all the Nplayers· in the middle level strategy gropp (Dic~ Hooro, Harry Dent, Len Garment, Jeb t-tagruder, Bob Marik, hopefully Dwiqht Chapin and definitely Pat Buchanan). Haldeman reviewed his underst.a.ndinq of the current status that there will be a "house agency, that it is Peter Dalley's primary responsibility to build a working agency, that the agency will be funded out of ComDdttee funds for tho time beinq but that eventually tilG Agency will be fully funded from "earned commissions. II Dailey raised the poinq about the AAA attitude toward the house agency rebates to clients, but both agreed that after discussion with John Crichton that there would be no M1~ Ol?Position to this arrangement by thG Campaign though thare would beaame minor • legal problems. Miller mention4d the Ahmanson!Galaxie-IRS problems but Haldeman discounted that as an obvious ploy and reaffirmed his view that we would not flaunt the law. Haldeman discussed Dailey's biggest job, ~at of staffing the inhouse agency. He indicated that Dailey must establish rapport with the AAAs and draw on specific talent. pools. It is Haldeman'n understanding, conftrrned by Peter Dailey, that the agenoies would "rnako persons avallable at the out of pocket cost" from the donating agency. Pailey reviewed the anchor and loan program that 1) establishes a list of agencies that. really want to -2 make people available, and 2) that the A.A1\As can send a. letter asking for people who are interested. Haldeman emphaaized that it would be Dailey's responsibility to "look for who you want not for who wants to help us." He emphasized that the three top jobs that Dailey should qet are 1) a creativG direotor, 2) a media director and 3) a TV director. Each would then begin work on recruiting their own staffs. Ualdeman re-emphasized tho import.ance of recruit.ing quality people, so that even Doyle Dane - though generally against us - may have an individual that we want and will use. Haldeman went on to say that the two qualifications for the individuals would be a philosophical and political commitment to our cause and then top quality individuals. Haldeman said that we would have to avoid automatioally the turning to the people that have worked in previous Campaigns, such as Ruth Jones to be media buyer and Newton to be a conSUltant. lIe did not rule these people out but just. urged Dailey to he careful. Haldeman directed Dailey to contact. Len Garment about who should be visited by Dailey at Fuller, Smith as well as all other people involved 1n advertisin~ 1n 1968. Dailey said he is basically pursuing people which will give him group sectrity and good flexibility. Dailey a180 suggest.ed that he may keep the key spot as our people, but 90 outside to contract individually for certain creative groups at approximatoly 2-3%. Ha suggested going outside for thoBe groups because he ia conoerned about obaaining operational level people who have worked together before. Dailey would retain creative control at the top but usa operational paople outside. Haldeman agreed and suggested that it would probably be best to have very few people in Wuahinqton. Only Dailey's immediate • - group - pot mgst of tho advertising staff - would be located here. This would not only be cheaper but would eD.abla Dailey to retain more effective control, by beinq -the man in Washington. Dailey emphasiS3cd his fiva'goals& security, tight. control, fiscal responsibility, maximum flexibility, and return of commissions. . HaldcInttn snid the fi.rat thing we should aet is a tli.:tJber one business mall to ridl) herd on' flloney. This individual would be Washington based and tough. ,,/ f ! ! j emphasized that ",.

In the meantime, the Democrats will be sloshing around in J New Hampshire which i8 such an incredibly degrading place to have to campaign. Haldeman said that most of the campaign money should be put into orqanizational work in precinct, stuffinq mail boX88, draqqing voters to the polls rather than buyin~ media time. Dailey said what we need,ohow8ver, 1s an inst.antaneous controlled response to current events. Dailey will join the statf full-time on December 1. He will leava his family in Los ftnqelsa,though take an apartment here. ~]Haldeman aai.d that when you (Petet Dailey) qat baok here it ~~'~ is Uterribly important that you be inoluded in everythinq ~ all strategy stuff - and politigal meetings." . Miller said that adver_iaing, research and PR would all be included in the middle level strategy session. '--- --.

GS:lm MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON CQNP-:reBRTIAL January 3, 1972 ~1m)T10nMl ADlMINIST'RIATIVE }.~A:RKI'NiG E.O. 12065. Section 6-102 By , n,. "p,~ '''', 7 ~ nB~mRANDUMN¥8':, Date / - I had an extended conversation last week with Len Milchuk of Opinion Research Corporation. I must say, in all modesty, that we have helped this group expand its press coverage tremendously in the past six months, particularly with special and wire service pickup. I am enclosing some reports which may be illuminating. One shows a March 15 coverage of 12,005 growing to August 28 coverage of 18.5 million based on their somewhat skimpy clipping service. (Actually with wire service pickup it's probably somewhat more extensive and the clipping service doesn't even consider radio-television coverage generated as a result of wire service use. ) However, the question really is how to get even more coverage - in the neighborhood of 100 million -- plus radio and television mention. One suggestion is syndication. I discussed that pro posal with Neal Freeman of King Features, who says he is looking for a poll to syndicate and who has held discussions with ORC. But he maintains that ORC is too closely associated with 1) the business community and 2) the Republican Party -- to be saleable by a syndicate. Taking Neal at his word (and he should know his own business) , I would like to propose an alternative -- a method of spreading the ORC poll more widely than presently without going to syndication, which means a newspaper buys the poll, a field fairly well preempted now. This plan would be an informal rather than a formal syndicate and have the advantage that we would not lose control of it. Personally, I see that as an important political advantage. Since our one experiment worked so well (proving the old rule that a person or a newspaper will too use news it gets free) I propose that we expand the ORC poll mailings to all newspapers 2 around the nation, to the biggest radio news station in every major marketing area, and to all television stations. We should mail it ip an ORC envelope as a press release -- and lId be willing to bet it picks up good play. The eventual result could very well be that a syndicate will come begging; then we can sell, if we want. I have talked this over with some of my friends in the newspaper business and they think it will float. There are two precedents that must be worked out: L"~~ Our mail service must have at least 72 hours of advance ~~l) notice that a poll is coming out. ~. 2) We must mail it out at least 48 hours in advance of the ~~t.. release date to get maximum coverage. ~Mlf I can get approval of this approach, I'll proceed to start ~~ going effective immediately. But again, Gordon, the success tb~-~f~' ~~ going to depend on advance notice of those polls we want t\~ publicized and on cooperation of all hands. What do you say? Enclosure
