President Nixon directs H. R. Haldeman to facilitate phone calls to several Republican county executives in New York, specifically requesting contact information for leadership in Nassau, Suffolk, and Erie counties. The President seeks these engagements to bolster his political outreach efforts, including a planned conversation with Congressman Jack Kemp. These calls are part of a broader strategy, which Nixon refers to as a 'four-channel drive,' intended to secure regional political support.
