Burger The attached program is under consideration for operation in the various States. Several state Chairmen A have requested no activities in their states. Will you give us your comments and suggestions on this program and your approval or disapproval (and reasons) of its application to your state. April 19, 1948 HEADQUARTERS MEMO TO: All Staff & state Headquarter Offices FROM: Warren E. Burger One of the most important operations remaining in the next ten weeks will be the program of reaching the individual delegates as they are elected in each state. Operations have been set up to see that our information and story gets to them. In addition to that Governor stassen will have personal contact with many of these delegates, both through personal letters, telephone calls, and personal conferences. It is at this point that the Citizens for stassen in the various states can become one of the most effective instruments in the entire operation. As a matter of fact, it can be one of the most important contributions which the Citizens for stassen will make to the entire program. This will be the process of having the Citizens for stassen in each state write letters to the delegates, representing their state, urging the nomination of Harold stassen. The emphasis will, of course, be on states whose delegates are elected by Convention but the technique will also apply to the states where delegates have been elected by a Primary. This will reinforce the delegates who have already declared themselves for stassen, or been elected as Stassen delegates, and it will help win over second choice support for delegates who are pledged or have preference for some other candidate. The procedure might well be along the following line: 1. As soon as the delegates from each State are elected a mimeographed list of these delegates, with their full names and addresses, will be prepared. A special letter . should then be sent to the particular State involved enclosing a copy of the list of delegates and alternates and urging each of our Citizens for Stassen to write to each of the delegates and alternates to the Convention.
