Finances

1) Herb Kalmbach met with Messrs. Jacobsen and Nelson on January
the 14th concerning the milk money. Kalmbach had a "good
meeting"; the money will continue to come in, but the milk
people do not want to continue to deal with Reeves & Harrison
(Chotiner's firm). Kalmbach would take over this project as
a special assignment. He will ask the Attorney General on
January the 20th. The Attorney General approved of Kalmbach
meeting with Jacobsen even though Milt Seimer is Jacobsen's
law partner and Treasurer of the Muskie campaign. Kalmbach
informed Colson of the meeting but would not tell Colson
who asked him to see Jacobsen. Kalmbach believes someone
should give all information about the milk situation to
Colson. I told him Colson was no longer involved.

Recommendation:

That you inform Colson of the milk situation, and that
Kalmbach be asked not to discuss the milk situation with
Colson in the future.

DeWitt Wallace is in Kalmbach's 100 club.

Kalmbach's pledges total 12,435.

4) At Kalmbach's invitation, I attended a finance meeting
chaired by Secretary Stans on January 12. Dan Hofgren, Tom
Evans (N.Y.), Lee Nunn, Jeb Magruder, Harry Flemming, Harry
Dent, Lang Washburn, Hugh Sloan, and Gordon Liddy reviewed
the campaign spending legislation. The legislation will
become effective 60 days from the date of the President's
signature (expected around April 1). The limit of 10¢ per
voter on all communications (broadcast, newspapers, telephones,
etc.) will be inforced by requiring a certificate from the
national campaign organization. The definition of contribution
is very broad, covering "anything of value", contributed

for the Nixon State Committee announcements. She is receiving unanimous praise from locals, Fleming's organization, and

newsmen.

Magruder and Miller submitted a memorandum to the Attorney
General on January 7 requesting authority to grant a
feature article on the campaign's youth activity by Hays
Corey of Time. The Attorney General approved but the
emphasis will be on the "President's positions and interest"
instead of any campaign strategy discussion. The memorandum,
with a list of the youth officially recruited to work on
the President's behalf, is attached at Tab C.

Martha Mitchell and Mesdames Romney, Rogers, Connally, and
Bush will be interviewed by Barbara Walters of NBC on
"Not for Women Only", which follows the "Today" show. The
first segment will begin January 31st.

Cliff Miller, and in his absence Van Shumway, will sit

in on Colson's Tuesday and Thursday meetings on news planning.
Magruder will not attend. This is part of Miller's project
to increase contact with Colson as a means of liaison between
Colson and the Attorney General.

Miller will suggest to the Attorney General that he chair a
meeting every other week of you, Ehrlichman, Flanigan,
Finch, Garment, Colson, and Dent to discuss the Campaign.

RNC Convention

Bill Timmons and John Dean conducted a security survey of
San Diego last week. They obtained the support requested.

OK byme

Timmons is also asking whether you have any objection to
permitting part of the California delegation, including
Governor Reagan, to take some of the extra rooms in the
San Diego Sheraton, which will be the President's headquarters
hotel. The Attorney General agrees with Timmons that
California delegation should receive this special treatment.
I don't far a view

Reco

That Timmons be informed that you are to receive tale
ration but not for action.

Discussion with Tom Evans on January 4 disclosed that he
is receiving increasing adverse comment about Harry Fleming's
activities in the field; that the relationship with Malek
and Kingsley on patronage is excellent; that Evans is very
concerned about his lack of imput with Rose Mary Woods on
White House invitations; that Nofziger's lack of organizational
ability will damage the President in California; that Evans
plans to make several communications staff changes in
connection with Nofziger's departure (Malek has been advised;

2) Congressional Support for the President Bill Timmons an

the President to undercut Congressmen Ashbrook and McCloskey.
3) Older Voters Dan Todd has been hired to supervise the
Committee's program for older voters. Todd served as
Arthur Flemming's assistant for the White House Conference
on Aging. Todd recommended to the Attorney General that
John Martin be removed as head of the Administration on
Aging and replaced with a performance oriented individual
reporting directly to Secretary Richardson. No decision
has been reached. In addition to Todd, Arthur Flemming and
Jamie McLane of Colson's staff are charged with overall

responsibility for the older voter. What are
