Not all press are hostile. Last night when we delivered the NATO statement I had a talk with J. TerHorst who seems to be an active collaborate in the Nixon cause. ExtreMely bright.

He said that &~ Might weil win the support of the D~troit News for which he works by a properly timed phone call to Peter Clark the President----as well as to Marffn Hayden. Clark is a young ~.~ ... ,.. guy of thirty six or so, extremely sharp. They have been for Lyndon but Terhosrt says they would be extremely receptive to an RN phone cal.i. Suggest calling both when they are in the area. I have a copy of Clark's speech to a graduating class of which he is quite proud, which I might draft of note of praise for from RN--­ very briefing saying RN had been given it by an aid, and RN might borrow some lines or ideas from it.

l" •. ' Miss Rose Mary Woods Secretary to Mr. Nixon , '. 445 Park Avenue New York, New York

Dear Rose Mary:

Knowing you are "swamped" these days and traveling on the airplane constantly, I apologize for taking any of your time. I decided to do it, however, because of the importance of whatls on my mind.

You will remember the great experience when both Pat and Dick came to the closing banquet of the annual convention of National Sales Executives in Buffalo in May, 1960. I was President then and introduced Dick with the prediction that were the NSE convention taking place a year later, it would be my pleasure and duty to simply say, "Ladies and Gentle­ men, The President of The . "

Ever since, among those who know of my friendship with Dick, it is suggested that "your prediction was accurate, but you were eight years early!"

I am not as sophisticated in the ways of politics as some, but from the exposure I do have with varied segments of people, there is no question that welre on the way to a resounding victory. Consequently, would you tuck away somewhere, my early plea for President Nixon to be with us again for the Annual Convention of NSE, now, re-named "Sales and Marketing Executives. "

The dates are May 11-12-13-14, 1969 in Cleveland, Ohio. We will make the program flexible to ±It""the convenience of the

- 1 ­ · Miss Rose Mary Woods - 2 - October 24, 1968

President. His presence at the opening session Sunday evening, May 11; the kick-off of the program Monday morning, May 12; anyone of the noon luncheons; or any dinner would be tremen­ dous, and we would build around it. The President of SME this year is W. W. Clements, Executive Vice President of Dr. Pepper in Dallas. I would chair whatever session President Nixon could attend, and we'd have a great time harking back to the night in Buffalo.

Sales executives of the key business organizations throughout the country are solid Nixon supporter s and constitute an excellent platform from which a new President of the United States can project a major message. Cleveland is easily and quickly reached from and the dates are flexible.

Would you please pass this along to Mr. Nixon at some oppor­ tune time and give me the benefit of his, and yp.ur, reactions.

Thanks so much. We all are exerting every effort in the home stretch with complete confidence we will win. As I told Dick when he was here in Philadelphia just prior to the convention, my only apprehension was his getting tangled up in debates with HHH. He has handled this in superb fashion, and I am convinced he has him right where we want him!

Very best personal regards.

Sincerely,

J. A. Mcllnay

We discussed this in your suite in Atlanta, May 31, and you indicated you were receptive and asked that I write you a let­ ter about it. I trust by now you have heard from them direct, and this is to support their invitation. I understand this is the voice for radio-tv news directors throughout the United States and Canada. In my opinion, these news directors are ex­ tremely influential. I think it is unique that you could build good­ will in a critical area before the election by accepting a date after election day.

I told Bill Mott that obviously this was not the time to bring this up, but I would be glad to send his memorandum on to you so you could follow up on it after the election.

With every good wish.

AREA CODE 202 783-5300

September 5, 1968

MEMORANDUM FOR LOU NICHOLS:

As you know, the members of our industry are supporters of Dick Nixon in every way we can be helpful. Loren Berry, for instance, has given unstintingly of his time, money and effort to help Dick. Here is an eighty year old man who after a prostate operation sat up in bed on the third day and said, "I have to get up out of this bed so I can help Dick get elected President." And he did.

Another great helper is Paul Hens 01;. : President of United Utilities, and virtually his entire Board of Directors. Les Warner, the President of General Telephone and Electronics, which operates in thirty-four states, is another great Nixon supporter, as are all of his regional presidents. John Brown Cook, the President of Whitney-Blake and Reliable Electric, is another, and I could name several hundred more. But you know all of these people having broken breaD with them so many times.

We are hopeful, and are working to the end that Dick Nixon will be our next President. In the interregnum between his election and inauguration, it so happens that the United States Independent Telephone Association will be holding its annual convention in Miami Beach (December 8-11). We already have a commitment from Senator to address our. first General Session on Monday, December 9. On Wednesday, December 11, we will have our wind-up session in the Ballroom at the Fontainebleau, a place incidentally where Dick Nixon has spoken many times. The only person we have on the program that day is one of 's gre,at professional speakers, Bill Gove - also a Nixon supporter.

We would hope that Dick would give consideration to appearing at the General Session on Wednesday, but if it is more convenient for him to appear at the General Session on Monday afternoon or at a luncheon we are having at the Convention Center on Tuesday, we would not care. We also recognize that he doesn't need to have any prepared speech to talk to us. He'd be amongst friends and supporters. - 2 ­

Loren Berry will be in residence in Miami Beach at that time at the Surf Club and if Dick didn't want to stay in a suite at the Fontainebleau we could arrange for him to stay either at the Surf Club or at the Bath Club.

On the other hand I I know he has his own friends and facilities in Miami Beach and he might just be down there relaxing at this time anyway. If he wants us to arrange a deep sea fishing trip for him I John Brown Cook happens to have fishing boats at his disposal.

We realize I Lou I this is a long shot but we have great affection for the President elect and we would like to have him enlist us in his army of helpers - helpers he will need to carryon his program when elected.
