Dear Don:

This is just a note to tell you how much I appreciated the dinner. It was a pleasure to see so many of my friends gathered in one place and relatively out of reach of ringing telephones.

The dinner was exceeded only by your impeccable taste in selecting the handsome globes. I have had many comments on them from envious visitors.

Again, thank you, and I hope not too much time passes before I see you again.

Dear Henry:

Last Friday a member of your staff, John Lehman, addressed the Annual Meeting of the Reserve Officers Association Chapter in Winchester at my invitation as president of the Chapter.

The purpose of my writing is to tell you what an outstanding job he did and the extremely fine impression he made on all present. Wives of the members were in attendance, and they were most complimentary as to how informative his talk was. He spoke on the current situation in Vietnam.

After his talk, many in the group expressed an opinion as to how well he handled a difficult subject and clarified a number of misunderstandings they had in reference to United States policy in the area. He covered the subject in a very careful and calm way which demonstrated both knowledge and understanding of his topic. He clearly and simply set out the Administration's position and, in response to questions, pointed out the fallacies of the critics of both the United States and South Vietnamese endeavors.

After outlining the current situation in a general way, he responded to questions from the audience which was appreciated by the audience and handled extremely well by him.

Because John's participation in the Winchester event reflected

Dear Mr. Marshall:

Bob Haldeman passed along to me your letter of July 23 and your suggestion that there might be some interest in my meeting with Ed Pauley. I agree with you that it would be well worth my while to spend some time with him and would appreciate it if someone from his office could contact my office while we are in San Clemente to set up an appointment.

I am looking forward to meeting with Mr. Pauley and appreciate your suggestion that I do so.

Dear Mr. Martin:

This is just a short note to tell you how much I appreciate the hospitality you showed to my children, my staff and me when we visited the set of "Laugh-In" last week. It was fascinating to see all that goes into making a television show. The audience seemed to be having almost as good a time as the cast, and we all enjoyed it tremendously. My children were especially thrilled to meet you.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

As you may know, in December, 1969, I telephoned your office and two others and spoke briefly and informally with staff regarding a new regional administrative concept for Pacific Basin contract services implementation by the State of Hawaii which I had proposed and which was currently being considered for the State by Governor John A. Burns. Follow-up on this matter appears not to be feasible at this time.

I have now joined the staff of George Washington University, College of General Studies, as a Special Assistant with the responsibility of determining the feasibility and directions for the establishment of a proposed comprehensive "International Development Institute".

In brief, the "International Development Institute" might service the federal government departments, business, and the world organizations in a variety of administrative and program services which can objectively complement current major directions in international multi-lateral and bi-lateral cooperation and development in all fields.

I am currently contacting relevant personnel in the various federal departments to determine how we might best assist the various program efforts, and have already conferred with Mr. Roger Jones, Assistant Director of the Bureau of the Budget.

In the event that you may wish to discuss various aspects of proposed Institute services, I can be contacted by telephoning 676-7014.

Best regards,

DM/rs

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

The enclosed proposal is in reference to previous correspondence we have had of March 9 and March 17, relative to the establishment of a "problem centered" International Development Institute.

As you may recall, the purpose of the Institute is to objectively complement current major directions in U.S. program-policy by the provision of administrative support services to the various national public and private sector agencies in specific program efforts, where responsibilities for program direction and implementation are held by more than one agency.

Included in the proposal is a new multi-national organizational framework for alternative use in regional implementation phases of program projects. This may or may not prove to be immediately feasible.

I am pleased to be able to indicate to you that there is a definite recognition of need for such administrative services evident in the agencies contacted, together with an indication that the Institute would be fully utilized, if established. Our goal would be increased efficiency and coordination of U.S. international programs.

For your further information I might note also that I am a professional administrator with a specialization in international and domestic organizational and administrative systems for coordinated efforts. Recent recommendations have been received by Mr. Harry Flemming on my behalf from several Congressional leaders and others.

Chicago fireside chat---which became known as the "strange things happening in the dark speech"---onward, Stevenson's public impression was increasingly that of a cold remote man. It was as though somewhere about here, in mid-campaign, he decided, perhaps subconsciously, that "if you're going to lead you've got to lead" and put aside the charm that had been his in private and, previously, in public life.*

*Bob Tufts, disturbed, put it a little differently. He concluded it was a natural function of politics, that "great men withdraw"---that is, that great men become surrounded by countless people, some with selfish purposes of their own, and, in self-protection, withdraw, become remote and suspicious. Thus Stevenson became, as the campaign progressed, more like all professional politicians, who often strike non-politicians as false, cold, hard, unreachable, unable to permit their emotions to become involved, lest they not survive the ordeal of power. Tufts understood this but disliked it; politics, he said, was not for him.

Now at mid-campaign, Stevenson returned to Springfield and spent nearly all the rest of the working week there, answering correspondence and preparing for his next sally. Few presidential candidates in modern times, and none who were underdogs, have spent so much time so late in the campaign at home.

Henry A. Kissinger, then editor of the Harvard University *Confluence*, later President Nixon's national security advisor, told Schlesinger that although he had earlier favored Eisenhower, he had been "shocked by the vulgarity and grossness of the Eisenhower campaign." Nevertheless, he said, "the Stevenson campaign is failing" and unless Stevenson gained rapidly, Eisenhower might win by a landslide. He thought Stevenson's

campaign "too defensive", too often a rebuttal of Republican charges. Stevenson should switch to the attack, especially on foreign policy, challenging Eisenhower to say where he stood on specific questions. He should attack Republican campaign tactics directly. Kissinger could not "go along" with Stevenson's reiteration that it did not really matter who won so long as the campaign was on a high plane. He thought Stevenson should "stick to fewer points and illustrate them somewhat more clearly". "Why not create some Democratic issues instead of meeting the Republicans on their own ground?" It was one of the most cogent letters of advice received. Others, including Eric Sevareid, feared Eisenhower would win because of his "father-image" and advised Stevenson to attack Eisenhower "directly and relentlessly". "Adlai is letting this empty man put him and the Democrats on the defensive; that is fatal."

The Elks were busy drafting speeches for the next trip. Stevenson, Schlesinger informed them, now thought Eisenhower's election would be a "disaster" and was willing to attack him---but felt that the Eisenhower myth was still so strong that it was wiser to say he had "fallen among thieves" than to attack him frontally.

24.

On Friday, October 3, Stevenson set forth on a two-day swing through Ohio, Iowa, and Minnesota. He went first to Cincinnati for a major speech, pausing at Covington and Newport, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, for brief remarks, trading heavily on his own Kentucky antecedents and friendship with Barkley. In Cincinnati he spoke at a Democratic lunch at the Netherland Plaza Hotel, a strong highly partisan attack on Senator Taft and the Old Guard. He went on to Columbus to speak on welfare, racial discrimination, housing, slum-clearance, rural
