We would like him to assist our efforts in Wisconson by calling some of his supporters in the state and encouraging them to support the Administration. Talking points: I had hoped to talk with you privately when you were in town last week; sorry we didn't have a chance. I appreciate your help over the past few years, and your kind offers of political assistance recently. I realize that you are taking a few days of much deserved vacation, and that you will be returning to Mexico on Tuesday (Oct. 8). While you are here, I could use your help in Wisconson. It would be most helpful to our efforts there if you could make some phone calls on our behalf to some of your friends and supporters around the state. (IF HE SAYS YES ... ) I will have Tim Kraft contact you concerning the details of our request. Your help means quite a bit, not only in Wisconson, but throughout the country as well. I consider your active interest in our efforts over the next year to be a tremendous asset, and one which we truly appreciate. /!? ��fj�:" � ,/ -� Notes: (11!/�)-/� )�.yf 4 �t:'.

Mr. Rupert Murdoch New York, New York, (o) 212/349-5000 Rupert Murdoch1 s New York Post has been very negative toward the Administration. Joel McCleary feels that this has been caused by a pranise made to him last spring that he could see you. His ego has been hurt by the fact that this suggestion was not followed up on. Murdoch is not supportive of Kennedy and we are unsure what effect your call will have on his newspaper1 s attitude toward the Administration. However, if he should decide to endorse you it would be a huge boost to our efforts in New York. Murdoch leaves this weekend for Australia for a rronth. I reconm::md that you invite him to visit with you upon his return and that you look forward to discussing politics and national affairs with him at that time. You should be careful in your conversation with Murdoch since you can probably assume it will not remain confidential.
