Mr. Gordon Strachan The White House Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Gordon:
Pursuant to your recent telephone conversation with Curt Herge, I am pleased to supply you with the details of the 1971 Annual Campaign Reception and Dinner sponsored by the Republican County Committee of Richmond County (Staten Island, New York).
This year the dinner will be held at Tavern-on the Green, Staten Island, New York on Thursday, October 14th, 1971. Dress will be black tie. Contributions will be $125 for "Gold" tickets and $100 for "Silver" tickets.
A reception for state and city Republican officials and other celebrities is scheduled for 6:30 P.M. and the dinner itself will commence at 8:00 P.M. Entertainment will feature strolling musicians and a well known comedy team. There will be no dancing at this affair.
In 1970 the dinner honored Governor Nelson Rockefeller, and it drew over 350 contributors. Let me say, frankly, that although 1971 is not an exciting election year, the Republican Party faces a tough battle to unseat an incumbent Democratic District Attorney. If the guest speaker is of national prominence, we may be able to double the 1970 attendance. A prominent speaker would not only serve to dramatically increase attendance but also enhance greatly the chances of a Republican victory in the District Attorney race. MARIO D. BELARDINO
Gordon Strachan August 5, 1971 Washington, D. C. Page 2
Now, some information concerning the Republican Party in Richmond County. The county leader is Richard Bolton. In 1971, Richmond County led all New York counties percentagewise in Republican votes cast. Richmond County was the only county within New York City that the Republicans carried during the 1968 Presidential election. The County is represented in the state legislature by two Republican Assemblymen and one Republican Senator (Sen. John Marchi).
It would be an invaluable boon for Republicans in Richmond to have as their guest, for example, the Vice Pres ident, the Attorney General, or the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. They can be guaranteed an ample audience and good press coverage.
There has been some discussion here to present an award to Mrs. Martha Mitchell as the Republican Woman of the Year. She would be an attractive and exciting speaker, and we would certainly be honored by her presence.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation to you for your cooperation and personal interest and, certainly, any assistance on your part in ensuring the success of the dinner will be remembered here.
Again, thank you.
Very truly yours, ('(ir). ~ Mario D. Belardino MDB:mmr Octab r 26, 1 71

(\(\ /.l Y.iEMORANDUM FOR JOHN W. DEfu'l\J", ~~
FROM: JACK CAULFIELD ~ i, \ \ \\ \ SUBJEX::T: EDWllRD Me DA1'CEL \j\J Ed is a longtime supporter of .the President who, in the 1960 and 1968 campaigns, was hired to be the Nixon Sound man at rallies on the campaign trail. Additionally, he is a highly competent radio feed tec~nician and also performed in that area on the campaign trail. / Having been through t~/ '68 Campaign, I can assure you that these two areas are ;!ita1. In my judgment, based upon his experience, Ed is tlie best in the rountry.
For reasons that are not clear, Ed has been completely shut out of any Republican party activity in this regard. He called today expressing both bitterness and disappointment at the developments.
I have reason to believe Bob Haldeman is very high on Ed's expertise. If I am correct, I suggest this matter should be brought to Bob's attention forthwith. Failure to do so may well cause us serious rally and radio communication problems during Campaign '72.
Please advise. Octo r 5, 1911

MEMORANDUM FOR DON RUKSFELD
The town of Randolph, Vermont, will have a Presidential primary on March 7, 1972, the same date as the New Hampshire primary.
There are approximately 2,000 registered voters in the town.
In the 1960 election, according to the New York Times, the vote was 1,208 for Nixon and 323 for Kennedy. In 1968 the vote was 899 for President Nixon and 414 for Humphrey. In 1964 the town went for Johnson, but I do not have the figures.
I am advised that McCloskey spent 8 hours there on July 17, the first Presidential aspirant since William Howard Taft went there in 1912, according to the Times.
Guy Catlin, the Republican town chairman, has said that he had a call from an unnamed White House aide who said a visit from President Nixon has "not been ruled out".
The Nixon daughters used to summer at nearby Roxbury, Vermont. Randolph is the home of Rowland Hughes, Eisenhower1s budget director. I have family nearby.
The state chairman, Russ Merriman, is a good friend and WD~ld supp~ ~dditional information, if requested.

GS:elr 10 ADM1N1STRAT10N Editorially the Portland Oregonian sees RN's summits as certification of his inaugural pledge for negotiation. In refutation to caterwauling Dems who try to pin a "hawk label" on RN, his program is a peace program. . RN has become the leader this nation needs in foreign affairs. Becaus e of his dedication to negotiation, because leader s of other nations realize hi s sincerity, the time is ripe for summit meetings. Every president since WW-I has sought without major success to break down the barriers to world understanding. RN "is nearer than any of them to achieving this long step for mankind," says Oregon's leading paper.... US News leads its "Worldgram" review of the reaction in other countries to RN' s summitry by saying: "Other super powers may be on the ri.se, but America is unique in today's world.... Only the US, thoughtful observers are saying about RN' s forthcoming visits, is strong enough to send its chief of state to other capitals in search of peace with no loss of prestige. " .... McGovern says that RN Iris ha rder to hit now because he is moving so fast". He certainly is going to be harder to beat than many Dems thought a short time ago. McGovern said that the last thing he expected from RN was the PRC trip tho he applauds him on the reversal. The Senator described RN' s handling of domestic and forei n affairs as "adroit." He admitted that RN had r tly defus ed ' a s an is sue and that he has had som e s 19 p ause" about voting against Haynsworth for the Court. "He might be as good as we can expect. It On CBS radio Dan Rather quotes an unnamed GOP leader who was a sked by RN for a political as s es sment of this leader's area.

HOOPES~' SUBJECT: Recruiting for Campaign I received a call from John Clarke on the subject of certain campaign-related recruiting which he, Pendelton James and William Marumoto may be doing during the coming months. Clarke said that because the travel will probably be extensive it might not be convenient to make arrangements through the White House Travel Office. He asked several questions which I would like to get your thinking on: 1. Should these individuals be issued a book of TR's to be used while they are away from the White House and cannot make arrangements through the Travel Office: Yes--- No --- 2. If not, should they be is sued Republican National Committee Air Travel Cards similar to the card carried by Ron Walker, et al? Yes--- No--- 3. 1£ "no" on #1 and #2 above, should we advise them to simply continue to make travel arrangements only in advance through the Travel Office2 Yes--- No--- 4. Is their funct:icn enough related to the campaign that all of their expenses should be paid by the RNC and none by the White House appropriated funds? Yes--- No-- _.------ page two 5. May we increase their 'per diem' allocation to $40 per day? Yes------No ------6. May we proceed to obtain automobilte rental cards from Hertz or Avis for them? Yes------No------These questions arise primarily because we are not certain of what you, Dwight Chapin, and Fred Malek have in mind concerning their function on these trips, namely. official Presidential business or ca.mpa.ign-oriented business.
