CENTENNIAL LEGACY CAMPAIGNChairman Fred Malek Announces Goals

A FRESH LOOK AT RN:

Patriot, President, Peacemaker

SEE PHOTOS AND STORY ON PAGE 3.

Youngsters from the Boys and Girls Clubreenact RN's first swearing-in, picturedbehind them in the new Centennial exhibit.

T wenty five years ago, friends and admirers

of the 37th President joined in our first

major fundraising campaign that built the

Richard Nixon Presidential Library and

Museum. It’s now time to undertake a new campaign that

will advance the world’s knowledge of President Nixon and

his extraordinary accomplishments.

RN’s Deputy Director of the Office of Management

and Budget, Fred Malek, has agreed to head the

Centennial Legacy Campaign to raise $25 million.

A West Point graduate, Malek served as President and CEO of Marriott Hotels and

Northwest Airlines and is Founder of Thayer Capital Partners, a corporate buy out firm

and Founder and Chairman of Thayer Lodging Group, a private equity firm.

He spoke at President Nixon’s 100th Birthday Gala on January 9 in Washington,

D.C. He was introduced by campaign vice co-chair and former Deputy Assistant to

President Nixon, Larry Higby, who announced that Fred had kicked-off the campaign

with a significant personal pledge.

“It’s so important that we not only refurbish the Library where hundreds of

thousands of people come,” Malek said, “but that we reach out electronically to the

world – with a more robust online presence to share the accomplishments of the 37th

President.” Ambassador George Argyros is campaign vice chair along with Higby.

The $25 million will be devoted to several important goals of the Foundation,

including:

� Refresh the museum galleries, now 25 years old and in need of technological

updates and 21st century modernizations.

� Launch an academic initiative to fund undergraduate and graduate scholarships,

visiting university lecturers, on-campus and online curriculum, and a Library

educational center for scenario-based education experiences.

� Build a replica of RN’s Oval Office, as part of the Library educational center, to

allow student groups to simulate the President’s high-pressure decision making.

� Expand and improve our online reach and impact.

U.S. Archivist David Ferriero presided

over the latest Centennial celebration

to honor RN, the opening of a state-

of-the-art, interactive Centennial exhibit.

One of the mostinteresting—no, one ofthe most exciting—

developments of this year’s RichardNixon Centennial is the realization that there is, in fact, not onlya relearning, but a rethinking happening about RN’s decades ofvisionary public service.

President Clinton called for rethinking in his eulogy at RN’sState Funeral when he declared: “May the day of judgingPresident Nixon on anything less than his entire life andcareer come to a close.” It was forecast by Senator Bob Dole inhis eulogy when he said the second half of 20th Century wouldbe known as the Age of Nixon.

I knew rethinking was gaining momentum when I heard thewarm tributes at the bicoastal Richard Nixon CentennialBirthday Celebrations on January 6 in Yorba Linda andJanuary 9 in Washington. Leaders paraded to the podiums totalk about the RN they admired: Bruce Herschensohn, Cong. EdRoyce (new chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee),Marine General Mel Spiese, Rev. Franklin Graham, Fred Malek,Ben Stein, Pat Buchanan, Dr. Henry Kissinger, Ron Walker andNixon daughters Tricia and Julie. They all talked about howmuch Richard Nixon achieved.

The press, too, fanned the rethinking. Reuters proclaimedacross its wires around the world that RN was “hailed asforeign policy genius” at the centennial of his birth. The listgoes on and on. It’s about time!

And rethinking is underway by many academics, scholars andresearchers. That’s shown in the announcements that over adozen new books on RN are in the works by Doubleday/Random House, Simon & Schuster, Yale University Press andothers. Perhaps it’s a welcome new chapter as scholars andbiographers who were not around in the Nixon years begin totake a fresh, objective view of the Nixon Presidency. We’re intouch with the authors, to help them access those in the Nixonarena who can provide historical insight, context andknowledgeable interviews. Conrad Black, writing recently in the National Review,

proclaimed that the “great Watergate fraud is unraveling,”and said that “although it was too late to redress the unjust fatesof those who gained and those who lost, including among thedisserved the whole nation, but not too late to welcome themiraculous emergence of a balanced treatment...”

This rethinking is consistent, too, with the Library’s widely-praised new Richard Nixon Centennial Exhibit. At the formalopening, U.S. Archivist David Ferriero told the audience thatit is an exhibit to which “you will want to return and eachvisit will expand your understanding of, and appreciation for,the Patriot, President and Peacemaker.”

The Sunday morning TV talking heads are upset about howparalyzed government is today. Little gets accomplished, they cry.The President, the Senate and the House hardly speak. Theycomplain that the President and the Congress can’t work togetherto get anything done. Wait. Stop. Richard Nixon led anation and led a Democratic Congress in agreeing oncountless major innovations, all characterized by his signature vision.

Richard Nixon got things done. That was our President,America’s 37th. And we’re reintroducing him to the world.

� GRAND OPENING OF SPECIAL POW EXHIBITSATURDAY MAY 18 This is the 40th anniversary of the homecoming of Vietnam POWs. In honor of theseAmerican patriot heroes, we’ll open a special exhibit highlighting the homecoming and White Housedinner hosted by the Nixons.

R ichard Nixon’s Centennial Special Exhibit “tells a fascinating American story

and it does so in ways that engage and draw in the visitor,” proclaimed U.S.

Archivist David Ferriero at official dedication ceremonies. “It is the kind of

exhibition to which you will want to return, and each visit will expand your

understanding of—and appreciation for—the patriot, President, and peacemaker.”

February 15 marked the latest celebration in a series of bicoastal Centennial events to

recognize and honor the 37th President during his 100th year.

The exhibit showcases the five most important themes of RN’s life and career: his humble

upbringing, meteoric rise to national prominence, his administration’s innovative domestic

and realistic foreign policies, and his leading role as the world’s elder statesman.

With news cameras rolling, Boys and Girls Club members cut a Centennial

Ribbon of Olive Branches, reflecting RN’s role of peacemaker, to welcome visitors to

CENTENNIAL LEGACY CAMPAIGN(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)

T hank you to all of you whooversold the President’sGala Centennial

Celebration at the Mayflower Hotelin Washington, D.C. on January 9th. It was a joyous occasionand a true ball buster that reminded us all of days gone bye. I usedthe term “ball buster” on purpose. That was a term the NixonWhite House Advance Office used to describe a “standing roomonly with overflow crowds outside” political rally. Every advanceman wants to get credit for a ball buster. A big apology goes outto all I may have offended. Guess it was the use of “you had to bethere” insider terminology.

As I looked around that jam-packed room, I was once againstruck by the collective wisdom that was represented. I have heardmany comments about how happy we all were to see each other.Our camaraderie is legendary and that is something that shouldmake all of us very proud. My contemporaries at otherPresidential Libraries often tell me how impressed they are bythis. Many thanks go to our dinner chairman, Dr. HenryKissinger. Note to Henry: everyone was really glad to see you.

Speaking of thanking folks… thank you to Fred Malek for hisagreeing to join the Foundation Board and Chair theCentennial Fundraising effort. And also to our “creativeconsultants,” Bob Bostock and Frank Gannon, for their RNCentennial Exhibit currently on display at the RN Library’sLoker Center. It is world class and I encourage everyone to see it,in person, if possible. Thanks also go to Sandy Quinn and histeam, especially Anne Brown, Carrie Biddle, Laura Machin Curtisand Cheryl Saremi for making the event so successful. Chaos reinedwhen, due to the overwhelming interest, all tables of eight had to bechanged to tables of ten. They pulled it off with nothing more thanlong hours without sleep, hard work, and some great localvolunteers. Way to go, team!And one additional thank you to Rob Odle, the Foundation’s

pro bono counsel. He has put in place many great additions for us, including “best practices.” Hard to believe, this had never been done until Rob got involved. We are all very grateful.

RON WALKER

Birthplace would not be the historical experience it is today.
