R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman coordinated the President’s administrative schedule at Camp David following a meeting with Robert Dole. The participants discussed the transition to a meeting with Gerald Ford, where Ehrlichman was requested to be present, and arranged for a subsequent meeting between the President and Richard Kleindienst. They also touched upon the potential appointment of Joseph T. Sneed, ultimately deciding to bypass him due to the speculative nature of his candidacy.","topics":["Presidential scheduling","Cabinet appointments","Gerald Ford","Richard Kleindienst","Joseph T.
