Container Summary

Copies of two typescript memoranda, dated Nov 1 and Nov 3, 1972 to Van Dyke of the McGovern campaign office charging that the Nixon White House including Henry Kissinger were using the status of the expected Paris agreement between the U.S. and Hanoi to defuse domestic opposition to the War as a political issue and thus promote Nixon's re-election.
