At the state convention where at-large delegates-will be selected, projections

indicated that Huskie will take five delegates, f.1cGovern three delegates, and

the uncommitted will have four delegates.

This would give Muskie 18, McGovern 10, and the uncommitted 18 at the Democratic

National Convention in Miami.* These projections are tentative,however. Under

Iowa law, no convention delegate can be bound to a candidate -- e. g. the relative

strength of the contenders may change as the national convention approaches.

AN ANALYSIS

Muskie -- The Muskie forces hoped for a clear mandate out of Iowa to add to their

"bandwagon" psychology. Heavy emphasis was 'put on big-name endorsements by

organization people in the state. The final "coup" of this strategy took

place on January 17, when Senator Harold Hughes surprised many state Democrats

by announcing support of the f.1aine Senator. In addition, Muskie had the support

of Iowa's 30,000-member United Auto Workers union, the only union in the state

to break with labor's general strategy of electing uncommitted delegates. Taking

no chances, Muskie still brought in eight last-minute, full-time workers from

other stptes.

In spite of this effort, the Muskie forces could not win a clear majority of . delegates -- a fact which will not be lost on Democratic pols around the country.

McGovern -- The Senator established that he is at this point still a viable

candidate. He concentrated his efforts on precinct organization and was able to

slow f.1uskie's drive. The McGovern supporters, although a minority, seem to be

"activists", who will turn out when needed at the tedious precinct meetings.

f.1cGovern showed a lot of his strength in college towns. In Iowa City, heavily

populated student precincts produced McGovern majorities and in some instances,

support for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. f.1cGovern has to have this type of

support to have any chance at the nomination.

Labor -- The large number of uncommitted delegates was testimony that in this state, at least, labor strategy was working. Word had gone out from George f.1eany for labor's minions to elect as many uncommitted delegates as possible in order to have optimum bargaining power at the Miami convention. Labor's muscle· along with the hesitancy of many lower echelon Democrats to commit themselves at this early date resulted in the large uncommitted vote. In addition, the uncommitted vote was added to by supporters of Hubert Humphrey and Edward Kennedy.

*In 1968, Iowa cast 19 1/2 for McCarthy, 18 1/2 for HHH, 5 for McGovern and 3 for

Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention.

-3

SUMMARY

The Iowa results are indecisive. Huskie is still the frontrunner for Miami, but he hasn't got it locked up yet. He will need more than big-name endorsements to win the nomination. Labor enjoyed initial success here, but the "uncommitted" strategy will be hard to execute successfully in the other states.

1972 Democratic National Convention Votes -- 25

1972 Delegate Selection Dates

January 22. • .precinct caucuses February 12 • . .••. county conventions February 26 • • • • • .state convention

Mississippi seems to be heading toward trouble in Miami. January 22 was the day under the new-reform rules to hold precinct caucuses across the state. The meetings ~ held -- by two different Democratic parties.

The morning meetings we;re held.by the "regulars", who control the state party and virtually every public office in the state. Governor Waller is securely in their camp. The evening meetings \vere held by the "loyalists", the black dominated group that has the official recognition of the Democratic National Conunittee. Both sets of precinct meetings were nominally "open", but each side refused to take part in the proceedings of the other.

Both sets of delegates are at this point uncommitted, although Charles Evers, the black national committeeman, has pledged to recruit delegates for John. Lindsay. Governor Waller of the "regulars" speaks well of Senator Jackson and Congressman Wilbur Mills with more "old-line" members favoring Governor Wallace of Alabama.*

Chances of a compromise slate going to Miami decrease as the Democratic Presidential contenders chose sides in the controversy. Senator George McGovern has already accused the "regulars" of racism. Look for a credentials fight in July, which could split the national Democrats again on the race issue.

*In 1968, Mississippi cast 9 1/2 votes for Humphrey, 6 1/2 for McCarthy, 4 for McGovern, and 2 for Reverend Channing Phillips at the Democratic National Convention.

MEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN

FROM: DAVE GERGEN

SUBJECT: Draft Lette r

Here is a revised solicitation letter, as prepared by Roland Elliott and Mary Ann Allin and approved by Ray. Most of it is sufficiently well done that we hope to incorporate portions in the campaign package.

I apologize for the delay.

Enclosure.

(Allin/Elliott) RP February 4, 1972

On January 20, 1969, America was a troubled nation. There was

division in the country, disruption on the campuses, inflation in the

economy, crime in the cities, powderkegs in the ghettoes, backlash in

the suburbs, and two hundred coffins a week coming home from Vietnam.

As Richard Nixon took the oath of office, he inherited this bitter

legacy. It required both political courage and statesmanship to move

away from war and inflation, up onto the high road of peacetime pros

perity. But Richard Nixon, more than any President before him, has

quietly presided over major changes in policy and direction in our

governITlent, and has restored our faith in the ability of our systen. to

solve its problems and reflect the basic integrity of the American

people.

The record of the Nixon Administration is clear: There have been

dramatic new initiatives in foreign affairs designed to end our involve

ITlent in the Indochina conflict and secure a lasting peace; there have

been bold new economic policies to speed our progress toward a sound

prosperity; there is a full agenda of domestic programs aimed at

governITlent reform to make it truly responsive to the needs of our

citizens; and there is much else that ren>ains to be done.

-2

Progres s toward achieving what the President has called the

"great goals!! of our society requires the cooperation and commitment

of every American. The vast majority shares the President's con

viction that this is a great and good nation, one which has an extra

ordinary capacity to set out upon a new course of action and bring

together diverse elements in a creative force to improve government

and our quality of life.

Where there was despair and frustration only a few years ago,

there is now a growing sense of hope and faith in the traditional

strengths of our institutions and in the fundamental goodwill of our

countryYTlen. The President has made a beginning which urgently

merits our support. He deserves and the Nation needs the opportunity

to press for completion of his initiatives, both foreign and domestic.

In his campaign for re-election, you can demonstrate your support

in a vital and meaningful way - - with your personal check. A contri

bution of $15 will enroll you as a member of the Committee. But gifts

of $25, or $50, or $100, and larger are also welcome! If it is signif

icant to you, it will be significant to us, and you may be sure that every

dollar will be used in the re-election of the President. With your

financial assistance and that of other concerned individuals, we can

mount a campaign that will take the record of this Adminis tration

-3

directly to the people, calmly but forcefully articulating its accom

plishments, its far-reaching proposals and its confident vision of the

future.

We urge you to join in this high adventure. It will be an alliance

of citizens who believe that Ric hard Nixon has guided the Nation

through an era of adversity and has brought us to the thres hhold of a

full generation of peace with prosperity. This is our opportunity. in

Lincoln's words, for us to "dare to do our duty as we understand it. rr

SUBJECT: Absentee Voting in California

I checked with my Placer County Clerk, Maurene 1. Dobbas, regarding the requirements for your application for absentee ballots to assure your California residence for voting purposes. She reports that the law requires that you file \vi th the County Clerk a request for an absentee ballot stating your absence from the state due tot , 54 days prior to the primary election. Since California's primary is on June 6, you must have completed the transaction with your county clerk by April 13. Since it usually takes a few days for them to send the necessary forms for your signature here in vlashington, I vlOuld suggest that you write and get the process going in the near future.

The attached materials from Ken Smith of the Cornrnittee for the Re-Election of the President appear to be of a strictly political nature. That is, there seems to b e no reasonable justification for accornrnodating this request other than for political campaign purposes.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL

MEMORANDUM FOR:

Go rdon Strachan

SUBJECT: Political Letters

The attached materials from Ken Smith of the Comm.ittee for the Re-Election of the President appear to be of a strictly political nature. That is, there seems to be no reasonable justification for accommodating this request other than for political campaign purposes. If this is the case, then it is in conflict with my understanding of recent guidelines which preclude this sort of activity. Your guidance and that of your office would be appreciated in this matter. Thank you.
