In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Herb Klein

FROM Sohn Ehrlichman

CC Ron Ziegler John -Jhi take r Ken Cole John IU tchell

In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Herb Klein

FROM Sohn Ehrlichman

CC Ron Ziegler John -Jhi take r Ken Cole John IU tchell

In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

Therefore I think it prudent to m~ke this exshyplanntion to th3 trtvelling press in advance of the trip I assume your office lil1 do so

You must realize thJt lie Hill be operndng lith 70 empty sccts as a result of this decision ro insure Hgainst serious eqollomJc loss and undue experwe to the carnshypaign C)nd the medilt your press aides must ecp us acculetaly inforLled In advance If 8ny of the press interlcl to join or lcve tlc~ tou ni any midmiddotmiddotpolnt during progress of the tour

Obviously if Te have capacity for say 60 press on the T~dcia a1d JL1l5c and of the 20 lTI81-lliers of addi ticm81 press 12 drop out at I)dicmapo1ls the question of operation of a third aLerafc for 8 members of the press becomes a l2Bious economic issue

In my personal OlJJnlon the addition of this air shycraft is very bad jucl2rllt-1t in the trms of cos t and addtionel manl3Cr1Emt problems vhich iill in(~vi tcbJy result HOlever ~re viill try it formiddot one leek as fal as Bcn-ca 1Jtrbara al1d then take a look

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

FROM Sohn Ehrlichman

CC Ron Ziegler John -Jhi take r Ken Cole John IU tchell

In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

Therefore I think it prudent to m~ke this exshyplanntion to th3 trtvelling press in advance of the trip I assume your office lil1 do so

You must realize thJt lie Hill be operndng lith 70 empty sccts as a result of this decision ro insure Hgainst serious eqollomJc loss and undue experwe to the carnshypaign C)nd the medilt your press aides must ecp us acculetaly inforLled In advance If 8ny of the press interlcl to join or lcve tlc~ tou ni any midmiddotmiddotpolnt during progress of the tour

Obviously if Te have capacity for say 60 press on the T~dcia a1d JL1l5c and of the 20 lTI81-lliers of addi ticm81 press 12 drop out at I)dicmapo1ls the question of operation of a third aLerafc for 8 members of the press becomes a l2Bious economic issue

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

In vieH of thc laiting llst of some 20 members of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to add a third pdrcrlt1ft to the Horth Calolina-ii21 Orlealls-middot Indiawlpolismiddot-ClevclandmiddotmiddotDes M()ines-Santa BHb()l~a tour The additional cost of tj18 chc-rtfr and oper[ltion of this air shycraft rill be pro-rated among the press ald 1111 result in addi tional chsrgee My underGtnnding frma a meeting Vii th John Nitchell and Ron Ziegler is that ovl accountants 1111 furnirh yoUr office ITith the totHl cost of the chartcrs and openltlon 0( all three aJrcraftr and this totfll 1il1 be pro-rlced so that it will be entirely eolloctGd fro1 members of thE travelling prCff) on all airplanes during this tour

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

September 10 1968

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

TO Thvight Chapin and John Davies

FROM John Ehrlichman

RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family as a family

In thinking back on the week I think he understates the case The three of us hampve the responsibility to do the follodng

1 ) vlhe re the fard ly is Ala lldng toge the r in the same direction they should N611c together Dwight may have to s101 RN aliI Jomlmiddot paynave to speed PH and the girls I will attempt to help you coordinate and 1-hen I see you getting separated I will try and mention it

2) All three of us should be sure that no member of the family leaves a location except in the company of the others For instance at Bfnal_ Brith Dwight should not have permitted RN to leave the room because PN wa s not Ii th him John should have noticed that RN las getting close to the door and he should have caused PN to discontinue the autographing 8J1d move to the door

I should have held up the whole parade until both were together bullIn Chinatmm Dlight should not have opsned the car door until John had moved Julie Tricia and David fro1 their car to RN and PN I S car I should have enlisted the assistance of the police to make it possible for Davies to do this

3) We should all make it our business to ~~ sure that at every function every member of the family present is appropriately introduced Each of us should chec~ ~jth the advance man for the name of the person -ho Till introduce the members of the family fur t~lOm we are respectively responsible and be certain that the content of the introduction is satisfactory

4) John Davjes should k~8p himself advised of the tiTl8s Then RN is to make a ITOver2Jt and should be suce that Pj[ and the girls are standi by at that tin2 fiJi t shoJld keep John infolllSd 0 any ch~ s D~i should not permit RN to move until the ladies have joified him

5 ) While ialkine both D~ight and John should be sure that neither staff) press or the Secret Service prevent the family from Talking as a family They should at all timeS be given enough room to easily walk together~

6 ) I lill attempt to inform both of you of upcoming movernents but to do so I must know where you are lherefore ~rou lilust keep me informed if you intend to leave the area at any time

In the week upcoming letls see how much good family coverage we can cause by keeping them togeTher Sinee Tricia 1-rill not be with us (teeth ) it E~houlcl be simpler than it ill be later vben the 18 are more constcmtly with us

I III Jelcome your suggestions on hOi to do this better

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

1

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Memo to John Erlichman

From Bob Haldeman

Re Tour Operations

Following are some random thoughts regarding various fac ets of the tour last week I rea l ize many of them are minor and that many of them have already been tended t o but thought it might be helpful to run through the list just i n case

Allow me to assure you however that I think t he overall tour operation was superb and far exceeded any possible expectat i ons f or the f i rst week

There is a real problem in the area of the material covered by t he detai l ed confidential schedule There were a number dfl changes made after the schedule wa s typed and distributed some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned For instance on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the greeting commit tee but I discovered that while I knew thi s from some source or another Dwight Chapin was not aware of it at the time theplane was landing This means I assume tha t had I not happened to mention i t to Dwight in checking up on details RN also woul d not have known Percy was oing t o be there and this could create a problem

I strongly feel as I have mentioned to you that~the car s i gns bus signs and all other display material relating to the operation of the Nixon tour should say II Nixon Pr esi dential Special or somet hing like that rather than II Nixon-A gnew

I noticed i n the motorcades t hat the drivers were very rarel y at their cars waiting to go I think this s t andard operat i ng procedure should be re-emphasized Also with the instructions that they ~ould notl be standing by t h e car but sitt i ng in it a t t h e wheel with t he engine runni ng bull I realize t hat we don t seem t o run t ight mo t orcade s t art-ups anymore but I still thi nk it is f ar safer to have t he driver in the car rather t han wanderi ng around or standi ng outside of it

On this same line I wonder i f we cant tight en up the motorshycade departure some I t appears t hat the Old Man gets in his car then we wait a long long time before the thing starts I know t hat most of t ha t wait i ng is for the pre s s but I also know t hat i n earlier t imes we were able t o get them aboard and the thing rolling much faster There is some question as to whether that is really desi r ablamp It ma y very well be that our present operation is better but at least it should be given some thought

Also in regard t o mot orcades we have discussed the problem of the police escorts and I know youre trying to work that out with the Secret Service Let me know if theres any way I can be of help It seems to me i ts i mperative that the

2

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

entire motorcade be covered by the police escort not just t he secured section which is of concern to the SSe

~With a little f irmness on the part of the advance man we can substantially reduce the size of the motorcades For example in Pittsburgh t here was a large number of VIP cars set into the motorcade beqind the bus In a movement of that sort there is no reason for any VIP cars a t all s1nce we were gOing direct to the hotel and had no activity planned there In other words the VIPs should have proceeded on t h eir own and independently from the airpor t to whatever their destination might be While the advance man is tightening up t he lengt h of the receiving line at the ainport he could also tighten up the number of cars in the motorcade This gets to t he problem of the HampH car I know t hat it adds to t he problem by putting one more vehicle in t he mot orcade but for the present at least I still feel that it is probably necessary We have made good use of the car at several stops and it does provide a standby VIP car for unforeseen emergency situations such as the Max Fischer type of thing Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort cont r ol however locating t he HampH car hehind the buses creates an enormous problem I f you want to continue l eaving it t here thats okay with me I would much prefer to have the HampH car directly ahead of the first bus naturally and if this can be done without creatin~ a total disaster it ~lOuld be greatly appreciated If it can t lets l eave it where it is for now and see how it works out In any event though the car should should be numbered for its posi tion in the motorcade wherever its assigned otherwise there is complete confusion as to where and when it ought to be located

Im sure that after al l the discussion there is no need to further explore the pvoblem of the non-speech in front of the Blackstone And basednon the evidence of the rest of the week I think this k i nd of thing is probably under good control now

Since we are appar ently going to be doing some parading in Philashydelphia and other cit ies i n the future there are a couple of points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given consideration For example there wa s no a dvance man as far as

__~~I could determi ne out i n front of the parade a block or so in Chicago and therefore no way of our knowing until we got there whet her there were any heckle~along the route or unfriendly signs or opportunities f or some sort of unusual activity In the future one of the advance men should be at least a block (preferably two blocks) ahead of t he f i rst car of the motorcade walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing He should of course have a walki e- talki e so he can relay his information back to those in charge of the motorcade

No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with the cars behind the RN car or with the press bases they were just left t o l ag behind and get engulfed by the crowd Obviously this defeats the purpose of the motorcade because the press doesnt see the crowd reaction at the time its happeningWhen we go into a parade formation i n open cars we should also eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and t he press bus that can possibl~ be eliminated All that should releft in

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

3 t here are minimum number of securi t y cars that we can get away with plus the open VIP convertibles for those who also need to have such treatment

This reminds me that in San Francisco for some i nexpl i cabl e reason Tri cia Julie and David were placed in a closed car a s of course should never happen i n a parade situation

As we have a lready discussed t he motorcade or parade r ou t es in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long They would have both been more effective at about hal f t he length We should certainly keep thi s in mind in Phi ladelphia and ot her cit i es

We have got t o avoid the kind of situation t hat happened in Chi cago on Michigan when RN s car spe eded up and went roaring past the photo truck apparant ly under the direction and control of the Secr et Service There was obviously no emergency and therefore no reason for thi s kind of thing to happen

--~~~ There seems to be fair~y subst antial errors in the timi ng as worked out on our schedule s We f requent l y a r rive at airports in the morning l ong before we are scheduled to which ~ would indicate that the dri ving time allowed is overestimated~ ~

__~~ In a similar sense there i s st ill the tremendous lead time between baggage cal l and t i me of departure from a hot el in the morning Since we no longer have t o go through the SS check-up operat ion I wonder if that t i me couldnt be shortened I know were stil l shaking down t he baggage operat ion but in the past a half hour pri or t o departure was I believe the normal baggage call t ime and i t would certainl y be desirable to get back to that if we could I ve also noticed tha t the bags sometime s are not picked up till qu i t e a long time after the baggage call t ime

----h~ In San Francisco the drivers of t he VI P cars had no inst r ucshyt i ons as to what t hey were to do and were in a stat e of total confus ion as t he motorcade was trying t o fo rm at the a i rport Al so there were all kinds of interlopers int o the motorcade and t h er e was no police protect i on a ft er fue number one car the buses all had t o fend for t hemselve s in getting out as did t he cars behind the buses Interestingly enough the dr iver of our car i~ormed me that when Humphrey was l a t i n San FranC i SCO they cleared the freeway for his mot orcade while for our s t hey didnt even provide an escort for anything past t he first cars Si nce t his was underi t he direction of t he California Highway Patrol we may have t o expect similar problems in future visit s t o California This may be some thing we ought to raise with Finch to have handl ed with t he CRP Since thats a state with a Republican Gover nor I would t hink we d be able to get better treatment t han t he Democrati c Vice Presi dent does

As I m sure you are aware t here seems to be at lea s t one and somet i mes several too many buses We ought to be able to get a

4

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

~

5

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

better count on the need for having bus seats so that we dont go to t he expense and confusion of having extras on hand unless its absolut ely necessary He do es a good job of getting the extras out of the motorcade and marbe thats the best way to handle it so we re always safe We ve already talked about some of the problems of hotel room arrangements Let me emphasize from my own personal viewpoi nt one absolute necessity my room should be as close to Chapins as is possible either t he room next to his or better yet the room across the hall from his It has become apparant that ona e were in a hotel Dwight and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man I would hope you would emphasize this to the advanc e man when he is setting up

------- the hotel l i neup I know there are lots of other consideratior6 but let me just say that the ideal arr angement for me would be to have the room right across the hall from Dwights room and have Larrys room next t o mine and connect ing The closer to this ideal we can get the better off well be

The telephone problems in the hot els seem to be working out bit by bit and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks well have that one licke bull

Further on hotel arrangements we have got to establish clearly with the advance man the basiC philosophy of t he hotel room arrangement system Namely that we get the key staff people locat ed close to RN and that we get the offi ce and certainly the Secret Service and tour office l oca t ed far away from him In this regar d I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the advance mans room right next t o yours and therefore up close to RNs is a good idea Its my feeling now that the tour office should be way down the hall and that t he advance man should be next t o the tour office r a ther than next to you Maybe this would impair your working with him but I suspect it would not I still feel that your room should be near RNs but I don t see any real need for the advance mans t o be Thip~ing back t o 160 1 1m sure that that was the way we arranged it then

----~Im sure youve thought of it but on this coming tour where well be away from New York for two weeks we should certainly be sure that good laundry fac i l i tie s are available at the Miramar over the weekend

~~ I I ~e had several exten~ed conversat ions with Chapin regarding movements in crowds etc but I think that generally this is working extremely well or at least so i t appears watching it from my vantage point I dont know what problems you guys may have i nternal ly on the ground but overall the movements appear to be working very well

As I think I have already mentioned earlier in t hiscimemo (but since I m dict ating it into a machine I cant go back and find out what I have said ) the airport arrival procedure is still pret t y messy I know you i ncluded in your notes the ~request that the ~reeting committee be l i mited to tenJand hopefully cut to five I tnlftk maybe even more emphasis should be given to this point and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed conSi sting of the National Committ eeman National Committeewoman Stat e Chairman of the GOP Stat e Chairman of the Ni xon organization

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Governor Senators local Congressmen and one local dignitary (such as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus of vourse the inevitable lady with t he roses

Along this line RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks this t o be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about fiftean minut es This would avoid hanging around waiting to get into The Presence and would also help to cut the greeting committe at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade In other words have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient point i n the schedule such as ri ght after the main event or right after arrival at the h ot el I know that there are problems with t his but I su spect i t s well worth the try

I think we need to f urther clarify the degree t o which you want me andor Higby to participate in drawing up the staff l ist for airplanes and determini ng what staff is to move to particular events etc I d be glad to handle this in any way Y0U feel would be most efficient I do want to be sure that if changes are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or t he travelling VIPs that I am at least consulted on it first because there are sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people beipg where they are

I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our plane as we discussed with Ziegl er yest erday and he feels that if possible we should try to make a couple of more press _seats available beyond what we ~~reed to with Ron One way to do thi s would be by taking two of the PfW types and moving them to t h e press pl ane letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each particular flight He would base his decision on his evaluation of who would be needed i n t he air This might be worth a t ry

RN i s concerned that we have too many staff on his plane and that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and increase press seating Lets try it and if it seems to impair our working efficiency we can always shift back

I think t hat covers all t h e notes that I have from t he first week and having gone through them I have the feeling that things were really sensationally well done since the sum total of the crit i que is very minimum (or something ) During the coming week I m going to try and make some more deta i led notes on t he specifics of our operation within t h e hotel and in get t ing the motorcade under way because it seems to me that now t hese are t he two areas in which were not as effi cient as we are i n others I know you can hardly wait to review t h e results of these e f forts so I will pursure t hem with utmost diligence In the meantime you and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job beaut ifully done

I think the advance men especially are to be commended since all of last ltreek s operations had to be set up on quite short notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past There were one or two weak pOints which weve already di scussed and don t need to be repeated here Also I ~ent gone into anything on

6

rallies or meetings themselves as weve pretty thoroughly discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days and I know thatwhatever decisions we ve made now will change from day to day anyway

All in all its been great --- I just hope we can keep it that way

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Picrnbels of tlle Prest will be pH~scat

12 00 noon Grand Dallroolll ll1nchcon 6(10 expected

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise

Everyone is either 3 x 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot be held for stragglers

MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does reflects on the candidate

Dress -- from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all look the part Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip

Be gracious - - when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance man boards a bus and hands us room lists etc --- it wont hurt to smile and say thank-you Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this ~ visit

No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip -shyeach time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate Rerrember the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought everyone connected wi th the Kennedys were terrible

There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop - - probably one from press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone (Probably should get a memo out to that effect)

Might even mention pgtint that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others so they have a chance to travel at least a day or two

Insofar as pgtssible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial requirements -- there will of course be priorities at times This first five da ys will be a good shakedown cruise
