This category includes parti­ cipants in the convention program and officials who made an outstanding contribution to the convention' s succes s such as those who sang the National Anthem and gave the Pledge of Allegiance. The first photo is one Ollie Atkins selected for world-wide distribution. The second photo at Tab C is the best of the handshaking event. Other photos showing the President and delegates are taken from behind, or at too great a l'\t.:,j. !\ distance to adequately ShJ' the President. ~'" :i:' '" ~ I r .( 'I, -::~ USE PIlOTO #1 'f-':..'J USE PHOTO #2 l:."'~\ 1\.\ tj COMMENT f t -------­ t\\ ,,\\ -2­ In Category 4 are those who will receive only the personalized Convention photo selected above. This includes local volunteers, White House Staff, Republican National Committee Staff and Committee to Re-Elect the President Staff who were active in the Convention. In Category 5 are those individuals who were involved in the Young Voters for the President Rally at Marine Stadium. This includes each entertainer on that program and the leadership cadre of the YVP group. The personalized photo at Tab D will be given these individuals. Efforts are being made to obtain a color photo similar to the Black and White shown in Tab D. A special photo of the President with Sammy Davis, Jr. is being obtained for presentation to Mr. Davis. Rose Mary Woods will determine if the President wishes to write a special note to Mr. Davis. I recommend the use of this black and white or a si~i1ar color photo.

Note should be made that press personnel have not been included on any of the lists. }'he cost of the personalized color photos will be approximately $ 3.00 "each -- and 400 may be used. The cost of the Presidential certificates will be approximately $0.60 and 500 may be used. If quick approval of this proposal is obtained, it is estimated that every­ thing can be printed, signed and mailed by September 11, 1972. Dea rill1III/: Few people in American political life have been privileged to know the great sense of achievement we were able to share as participants in the Republican National Convention. What was accomplished in those few days reenforced our common devotion to the principles of our Party, set a positive course for the campaign, and reached out to citizens across the land to help form what I have termed "a new majority. " For these successes we are all deeply grateful, and I want to express my own heartfelt thanks to you for your special contributions as a Delegate to the 1972 Convention.
