MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Outmiddot Loyalty is d~l soLely to the Republic - it Ls llnpatriotLc not to tell the truth - Hhether about tbe President 01 anyone else

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Outmiddot Loyalty is d~l soLely to the Republic - it Ls llnpatriotLc not to tell the truth - Hhether about tbe President 01 anyone else

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Outmiddot Loyalty is d~l soLely to the Republic - it Ls llnpatriotLc not to tell the truth - Hhether about tbe President 01 anyone else

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Outmiddot Loyalty is d~l soLely to the Republic - it Ls llnpatriotLc not to tell the truth - Hhether about tbe President 01 anyone else

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

MR H R HALDEMAN

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

FROM RICHARD V ALLEN ~

SUBJECT Lawrence J Meisel The Right Wing and National Security

As you can see from the attached the campaign of Lawrence J Meisel is beginning to gather steam The draft letter which he has sent to me will according to his note go to 200000 Republicans

He is soliciting funds so as to be able to carry his campaign directly to 30000 Republican Party officials at all levels

While these figures may be exaggerated and Meisels impact not too great may I remind you that there is considerable backwash corning to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and to the Republican National Committee

My recommendation is that a meeting be called promptly to discuss methods of handling Mr Meisel and others who take this line Harry Dent concurs in this recommendation

Outmiddot Loyalty is d~l soLely to the Republic - it Ls llnpatriotLc not to tell the truth - Hhether about tbe President 01 anyone else

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

Theodore Roosevelt

ULlr Rcpubticatl Contributor

Like you the undersigned vere among the many thousands who contributed to the election of Richard Nixon We did this because we believed that Richard Nixon stood for a strong ltmerica for the Federal Government living Hithin its income nd [or otilcr traditiolal Republican principles

ll1ree years luter He have reluctantly come to the conclusion that our contribution to the electLo- 0 lt~Lchard Nixon Has a poor investment Candidate Nixon made cershytair inpor lan t promises The Re[gtuolican Party Platform of 1968 contained certain pledes Plesldcnt trbon by his Administration policies and actions has repudiated the lOst irJ[wrtaat promises and Platform pledges

It is our hope that you will read this very carefully and that you will help to disscrlinatc t~1CSC facts to all Republicans so that intel1igent and proper action can be taken to res tore Republican credibility and to offer as Republican candidates ody tilOSC ho have proven by past performance that they adhereto Repu1)lican prinshyciples

The essential campaign promises (-which are vital to our free American Republic) were

(1) liTo lcstotc tIl objective of clearcut military superiority (2) Restore fiscal integrity and souad monetary policies encourage susshytained economic vi tali ty and avoid such economic distortions as vlage and price controlstl (3) Improved relations ~7i tIl Communis t nations can come only ~hen they cease to endaner other states by force or threat - only v]hen Communist 1ations [lrove by actual deeds that they genuinely seek lmrld peace and ~ill

live in harmony with the rest of the world will we support expansion of East-Hcst trade (4) He cannot favor recognition of Red China or its admission to the United Nationsl1

zmiddota li tary superiori ty (national securi ty) mus t be placed firs t because to remain free AIler i ca mlS t be s tro~1g The road to peace has never been through appeasement unshyilateral disarmament or negotiation from weakness The entire recorded history of mankind is precisely to the contrary Among the great nations dnly the strong survive (Supplemental Statement to President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report Sept 30 1970)

Lc t tS cxarnine or iefly the Nixon administration record on these essential promises

(1) a t10l1a1 Security rcs~dCi1t middotrbon has aoandoned the Eisenhauer Policy (and the traditional Republican principle) of peace through superior strength

r c l cL eLll l1 )n~VLllUS DClilOL1al ininistrotions discarded the concept of peace eh ll tmiddot lilary ricnLty but ]( )lti~ved lUchard Nixon when he carzed (on October ~igt ] )q l1ilt r-kltl1ilLlla had crecttcd a ~rave1y serious security ~apn and then promised to icsloje nUl nlJjcctivc of clearcut ilitary superiority The proof that he has lcpudLllcU this PlmiddotOIisc is contained in a letter (August 26 1971) signed by the Deputy IssistantecrculIy of Defense tor Int2clationa1 Security Affairs which states that the nixon (hlitistratioll policy rejects the aim of strategic superiority In the face of ovenvlh_lmin~ evidence of the Soviet delve for massive military superiority President Nixo) pre~gt(ntcd a fiscal Ytu 1972 bud~ct for defense expenditures including those eesourccs committed to Vietnaml vlhich will require a smaller share of our Gross National Product and the Federal Budget than in any year since 19501middot(page 166 Report to Congress)shy

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

On September 28 1970 the Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee summed up the

2

U s defense policy by stating -Ie are on the brink of disaster - lithe future of the ~ration hangs by a thread - we seem hell-bent on national suicide ll (Mende1 Rivers Speech to Congress)shy

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

The Supplemental Statement to the Report of President Nixons Blue Ribbon Defense Panel states that - lIThe trends which are combining to shift the strategic balance of power in favor of the Soviet Union include The abandonment by the US of its former policy or maintaininr strategic superiority(Sept 30 1970) In a dramatic shift in the balance of power largely unnoticed by the public the quarter century of clear US strategic superiority has ended The Soviet Union has moved significantly ahead of the US in ICB[s the principal weapons system of the nuclear age (page VIII) The evidence (is clear) that the Soviet Union seeks a pre-emptive first strike capabilityll (page 2)

President Nixon went on television to announce his proposed trip to our enemy Red China and to announce wage and price controls (hich he promised not to impose) but he has not alerted lmericans to the catastrophe that faces us if we permit ~ussia tpcontinue to pulf farther ahead militarily

The freeze om U S strategic forces remains at the 1967 level despite the fact that the Soviets have continued their buildup of land and sea based missile forces at Ii rate which has exceeded that projected by intelligence estimates for seven years in succession (House Committee on Armed Services Hearings March 3 1970)

In 1969 when Richard Nixon took office the Soviet Union had approximately 1000 ICBMs Today their ICBM force totals over 1600 of which approximately 300 are the huge 25 metagon S8-9 Our ICBM force totals 1054 the same level as in 1967 When Richard Nixon took office we had more than 500 B-62 bombers Today we have less than 400 (Senate Armed Service Committee April 30 1971) We MiIMHy had more total megatonnage on day to day alert in 1966 than we have in the total war plan today~ In 1969 the USSR had approximately 125 submarine launched nuclear missiles - today they have over -lt75 aula1 1 submarines alone When Richard Nixon took office the US had 50 more nuclear owered ~ submarines than the USSR (Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance Sep bull 1968)

Today the USSR had more nuclear powered submarines than the US and is building 2shytimes faster than the US (Admiral Zumwa1tSept13 1971)

2 Fiscal Integrity

The 1963 Platform on which Richard Nixon was elected pledged to restore fiscal integrity and sound monetary policies It also promised to avoid such economic distortions as wage and price controls Candidate Richard Nixon stated that he opposed a guaranteed annual wage The 1960 1956 and 1952 platforms on which Nixon ran promised balanced budgets

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which

tn lCl ~middottJrs tile r-jiiOn ciminlsLrntion will have piled up a Federal deficit ell $~7 hi i ion wlH~r(us LgJs deficit over five years was $J() billion and JFKs deficit (vcr tht c years ~ms only $lB billion Nixon confessed he is now a KcyncsLHl hich means a commitment to deliberate inflation Federal controls and large deficit spending which he calls a full employment budget

Althoufh welfare is a national scandal and the number of people on welfare has greatly increased since Nixon took office he has lobbied hard for Democrat Daniel Noynihans costly guaranteed-annual-income Family Assistance Plan which wi 11 add 12 mi 11ion more peop le to the rolls

3 Red China

President Nixon has made four major concessions to Red China 1) He agreed to reverse our previous policy and back Red Chinas admission to the UN 2) In June 1971 President Nixon approved for uncontrolled export to Red China a wide range of US metals and manufacturing materials 3) His Administration lobbied through Congress and he signed on August 17 a reversal of our previous policy so that Red China can now secure loans from the US taxpayers through the ExportshyImport Bank 4) In his September 16 news conference President Nixon announced that his policy is to force the removal of the Republic of China from the Seshycurity Council seat (which because it has the veto is by far the ~Olt imporshytant part of the UN)

The last four Republican Platforms made unequivocal pledges to oppose the adshymission of Red China to the UN and the 1968 Platform included the specific pledge that I~e will not provide aid of any kind to countries which aid and abet the war efforts of North Vietman ll

4 Credibility

The 1968 Republican Platform concluded with these words I~e emphasize trust and credibility We have pledged only what we honestly believe we can perform In a ~~orld where broken promises become a way of life we submit that a nation progresses not on promises broken but on pledges kept

There is no way that the three-year record of the Nixon Administration can be reconciled with the most important promises of candidate Nixon or with the Republican Platform or with traditional Republican principles Richard Nixon promised military superiority but gave us military inferiority He campaigned for Republican thrift but we have huge deficits and Keynesian controls

We recognize that a candidate cannot always fulfill to the letter the specifics of every campaign promise After all events and circumstances outside the conshytrol of those who are less than all powerful tend to intrude on the best laid plans However the fact is that Richard Nixon has repudiated the essential camshypaign promises which were supposed to serve as policy guidelines for our Nation

Our country cannot survive more years of a strategic-weapons freeze in the face of the Soviet missile threat This is why the undersigned feel comshypelled to place Country above Party and make our concern knorNflin a way in which
