HALDEMAN SUBJECT: Celebrities For three years the celebrities program here has been diffused among Henry Cashen, Rose Mary Woods, Connie Stuart, and Lucy Winchester. Now the Committee for the Re-Election of the President is planning a meeting between the Attorney General and a group of entertainment industry leaders. The purpose of the meeting is to acquire a list of celebrities who will be helpful in the Campaign. The background information for this meeting and the Committee's plans are outlined in the Bart Porter memorandum attached at Tab A. Henry Cashen prepared the memorandum attached at Tab B describing the current situation. You should assume responsibility for the celebrities program. In particular, a system to receive suggestions from the Taft Schreiber group, to maintain priority lists of celebrities, to staff proposals for political input, and to assure implementation by Rose Mary Woods, Connie Stuart and Lucy Winchester. A monthly report on the status of this project would be appreciated. ..

MAGRUDER SUBJECT: Celebrities One of the areas for which I am responsible is maxilUzing the use of celebrities for the President's campaign. I have 4etemined, however, that we have not really do~e the proper job over the past couple of years and, as a result, we are short on lists of celebrities (and the abilit<J to obtain them) who are willing to work for the President. I have di.scussed this problem \o1.th Taft Sc.~reiber, and he feels strongly that the movie/television industry is much better off now under Richard Nixon than ever before and that the top leaders in the industry, particularly those in California, are well aware of this. Taft has offered to help us in this effort and has 8U9gested that a meeting between you and a group of top execu tives sympathetic to t..,i.e President would be extremely helpful in getting our celebrities program off the ground.
