MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Sincerely

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

MEMORANDUM

TO Bob Haldeman

FROM Rose Mary Woods

This morning Ralph Bunje a longtime friend and supporter of the President as well as head of the California Canning Peach Association in San Francisco came in to see me about several matters

In the course of his conversation he expressed great concern about the difficulty of carrying California in 1972 He suggested that we must find a way to let the people in California know how many things the President has done for the State He says when things have been done that are good for the state there is never any real publicity - any praise for the President In other words there is no feeling that this Administration has done this this this etc for the State

He hopes we are having someone other than just Reagan run the campaign He said we cannot depend on Reagan to help carry the state because he probably would not push hard enough and most of those people he has gathered around him are not Nixon people at all Also he is unable to get along with the Republicans who are in the State Legislature etc and he feels we better have some others who are really working out there in addition to whatever we may have the Governor working on

I told him I knew nothing about campaign plans but that I would be glad to pass along this message to some of the people wiD will be working on California (I dont know the score but do know this man is really FOR the PreSident)

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people

Dear Gordon

As you know during the 1968 campaign the small Nixon N that was worn by many Nixon supporters became very popular

Recognizing that few presidents have been as closely identified with flag and country as President Nixon I have attempted to design a pin that would be att racshytive unique and yet appropriate Hopefully it wou l d be an effective campaign pin and further establish this identity

If you agree that the enclosed pin achieves these obshyjectives I will have a limited number manufactured at my expense for distribution among my key New Hampshire people
