FINANCE
OPERATION "V I M"
The Finance Committee in all 11 Southern California Counties is fortunate
to have enlisted a group of able leaders experienced in political fund-raising.
However, in the interest of effective coordination, it seems worthwhile to restate
a few basic principles and policies, and to outline several new approaches that will
be pioneered in this Nixon for Governor campaign. If we begin by thinking together,
it will help insure we are working closely together for ultimate victory in November.
Timing
Next to money, the most scarce commodity in the entire campaign is time:
June 5 is only two months and five days away from the date of our Campaign Leader-
ship Seminar. During this period we must raise our funds and expend them wisely
to the end that Dick Nixon will make a strong showing among Republicans in the
primary and get his message over to enough Democrats to build a vigorous cadre of
supporters for the general election.
It is extremely vital that the campaign funds be raised early enough for
wise programming and budgeting. Every dollar raised in April is worth two dollars
after May 15
.....
The challenge confronting our Finance Committee is clear.
There is no such thing as "instant money." We must organize as fast as humanly
possible.
"V i m (n) energy, force, vigor"
In years gone by Republicans have not always taken maximum advantage of
the dynamics of fund-raising. We have sometimes overlooked the fact that voter
interest follows dollars. In this campaign it is our ambition to capitalize on this
principle and perhaps set new standards for successful and effective political fund-
raising.
Our goal is to broaden the base of support with a three-point program
called "V I M'':
Votes
Interest
Money
This program will not only raise more money, which we need, but will also
stimulate greater vitality and activity which, in turn, means votes for our candidate.
(F-1)
Reliable polls reveal that Californians are ready to support their candidate
with dollars. By giving Republican voters this opportunity the entire campaign will
take on new "vim" and our candidate will reflect the image which our party's founders
intended: "of the people, by the people and for the people."
Committee Responsibility
In our VIM program the responsibilities of each County Finance Committee
are threefold:
1. Preparing a budget
2. Raising funds
3. Keeping records
Naturally, a key member of each Finance Committee is the Treasurer who
should be among the first appointments.
Budgeting
Three principle areas are involved in each County budget: necessary county-
wide expenses, "seed money" to launch community headquarters (whose operations
should become self-sustaining), and a proportionate cost distribution of state-wide
campaign expenses.
In each of these areas there are tangible items which compose the typical
budget:
Headquarters rental
)
"Gifts in kind" will
Furniture. Equipment and Supplies
)
help underwrite
Postage
)
these items
Telephone and utilities
Literature, buttons, etc.
Special events (displays, p.a. systems, etc.)
Publicity, photos, advertising*
Miscellaneous
*State headquarters staff (with advertising agency counsel) has
projected radio, television and newspaper advertising, and
billboard requirements in every community on the basis of
voter registration. Each County's proportionate contribution
toward these expenses will be channeled back into the various
communities of Southern California in the form of a coordinated
advertising program. County committees are urged to clear any
and all other advertising items with State Headquarters. Caution
(F-2)
should also be exercised about expenditures to persons representing
themselves as "controlling" voting blocs. Paid "advocates" can
seldom "deliver" blocs of votes Obviously, in all campaign matters,
money which is not spent does not have to be raised, so economy is
important.
Final budget figures represent a compromise between the basic necessities
(perhaps in "A" budget), the ideal program (a "B" budget) and a realistic estimate
of income from contributions. The more activities on a self-supporting basis and
the broader the fund-raising base, the more financial income (and voter interest)
will be realized.
Based on the "cash in advance" requirements for advertising, your "target
dates" for transmitting your county's proportion of state-wide expense to the Southern
California Finance Committee should be:
April 20
-
50 per cent
May 4
-
50 per cent
Strictly speaking, your county budget should cover the primary campaign
through June 5. As a practical matter, it will be highly desirable to raise enough
funds to maintain anticipated organization activity through the summer period prior
to the launching of your second phase to finance general election expenses in the fall.
Advance Gifts
Experience demonstrates that more than 90% of funds raised in all cam-
paigns are realized from less than 10% of the prospects. Thus, the Advance Gifts
phase of your drive is worthy of special attention.
In "Operation VIM" it is strongly urged that you organize a County-wide
Advance Gifts section of your Finance Committee. There should be a minimum of
one (1) prospect per thousand (1, 000) Republicans falling into either one of two
categories based on estimated capacity to support Dick Nixon's campaign:
Leadership Gifts - $ 1, 000 up
Special Gifts - - - $ 250 to $999
The success of your fund-raising will depend upon good prospect building,
thoughtful evaluation of potentials and the enlistment of top leadership with "the
power to ask" of those who have "the power to give."
It is realistic to expect that results of these solicitations will be sufficient
to underwrite County-wide expenses, your County's proportion of the State-wide cost
distribution and enough "seed money" to get local headquarters into fund-raising
operations to sustain themselves.
******
(F-3)
Maurice H. Stans, Southern California Finance Committee Chairman,
is willing to make personal visits into the Counties to participate in as many
Advance Gifts programs as his schedule will accommodate. As Director of the
Budget Bureau and Deputy Postmaster General of the United States under President
Eisenhower, he served for more than five years with Dick in Washington. His first-
hand knowledge of former Vice President Nixon's character and ability, and his
dedication to the success of this campaign, can inspire and enthuse your committee
and prospective contributors. Also, if you think it would be helpful, Chairman Stans
will write personal cultivation (or "softening up") letters to each of your Advance
Gifts prospects. A sample is appended to this section of your manual. For this
purpose, your prospect list should be sent to Southern California Finance Committee
Headquarters
Louis Quinn, Assistant to the Chairman, is available in the
Finance Office to cooperate with local committees.
Community Campaigns
County Finance Chairmen are urged to stimulate and encourage broadscale
fund-raising in their various local communities. Details of suggested activities
appear in the Finance Section of the Nixon for Governor "Community Organization
Handbooks. "
Here are the key programs deserving of your attention and follow-through:
A.
A smaller-scale special gifts campaign (three prospective
donors of $25 to $249 per thousand Republicans -- presumably
your County-wide solicitation covered the larger potentials).
B.
A complete membership solicitation of every registered
Republican for modest contributions of money and interest
(by telephone or house-to-house).
County Finance Chairmen can help put newvim into these activities. Also,
you can make a valuable contribution to the effectiveness of these programs by urging
local community chairmen to send State Headquarters lists of their members who
should receive the "Nixon Newsletter" and lists of $100 and over contributors for
special recognition from Dick and Chairman Stans. See the "Community Organization
Handbook" for details of where information is to be sent.
Political Liaison
A secondary benefit of the VIM program is that in the process of Advance
Gifts solicitation of major prospects (who are also usually opinion leaders) and the
every-voter canvass, areas of political strength and weakness are pin-pointed.
Communication of such information to County Chairmen will be helpful in planning
political strategy and tactics. Close local liaison is urged.
(F-4)
Record Keeping
As in any business, it is essential to keep track of every cent that comes
in and every cent that goes out. Because of the temporary and voluntary nature
of the Nixon Campaign Committees, special care must be taken to set up well-
defined record keeping procedures.
Here are some of the responsibilities of the Finance Committee:
1.
Open a special bank account in the name of your Nixon
organization.
2.
Make certain every contributor promptly receives a
receipt showing name, amount and date of contributions.
3.
Consult your Committee's legal advisor regarding
requirements for reporting income and expenditures.
For guidance, see the legal opinions in the Finance
Section of the "Community Organization Handbook. "
4.
Be prepared to pay in advance or on delivery for political
advertising, printing, etc. Suppliers generally do not
extend credit to political campaign organizations.

SAMPLE CULTIVATION LETTER
For the good of California's future -- in fact, the future of
the Republican party -- I am convinced that we must elect Dick Nixon
our next governor.
Based on more than five years' close experience with Dick in
Washington, I believe he is admirably qualified to govern our nation's
#1 state: He is a man of fine character and possesses the ability to
make incisive judgments which are the marks of a great leader and
able administrator.
Appreciating the personal sacrifice involved, Dick has agreed
to campaign for Governor and, when elected, to assume the heavy
burdens imposed by this office. Certainly those of us who share his
philosophy of sound government owe Dick our all-out backing.
I would urge you, as one of Southern California's civic leaders,
to give Dick Nixon your 100% commitment: Vote for him
Be active
in persuading your friends and associates to do likewise And, please
give some thought to the fact that "free elections" are not without sub-
stantial cost. In these times, especially opposing an incumbent of the
majority party, our candidate needs generous financial assistance to
mount a successful campaign.
In Dick's behalf, I want to thank you in advance for your support.
Working together, we can insure that Nixon will be California's next
governor.
Sincerely yours,
Maurice H. Stans

MEMORANDUM
Re:
Statutory requirements affecting the reporting and filing
of campaign statements in the California Gubernatorial
Campaign
In General
The purpose of this memorandum is to broadly discuss the legal
aspects of reporting and filing statements affecting the California Gubernatorial
campaign. It is suggested that each filing committee have competent counsel
assist in the preparation of appropriate forms.
California Statutes
In brief, all candidates and the treasurer of each campaign committee
must file a campaign statement for both the primary and the final election within
35 days after the day of each election. Official forms have now been made avail-
able and are sent to the candidates (not committees) within 3 days after each
election. Formerly, a committee treasurer was required to prepare his own
statement, based upon the items required to be included. However, with the
amendment of the Elections Code in 1955, the County Clerk has since been
required on request to furnish each treasurer with the necessary forms for
submitting his statement.
The form of a "campaign statement" is generally described in 11503
of the California Elections Code. It refers to 11504 which enumerates what are
called "lawful expenses. 11 These include disbursements for various categories
and types of election activity. 11503 requires the committee treasurer to prepare
an itemized statement in duplicate showing:
-2-
"(a) In detail all moneys paid, loaned, contributed,
or otherwise furnished to the candidate or treasurer, or for
use of the candidate or treasurer, directly or indirectly, in
aid of the candidate's nomination or election.
"(b) All money contributed, loaned, or expended by
the candidate or treasurer, directly or indirectly by the candidate or
treasurer or through any other person, in aid of the candidate's
nomination or election.
"(c) The names of all persons who paid, loaned, con-
tributed, or otherwise furnished such moneys in aid of the
candidate's nomination or election.
"(d) The names of all persons to whom such moneys
were contributed, loaned or paid.
"(e) The specific nature of each item.
"(f) The service performed and by whom any services
were performed.
"(g) The purpose for which the money was expended,
contributed or loaned. "
By 11560 the committee treasurer is required to verify the campaign statement.
In the verification he must state that he has "used all reasonable diligence in
its preparation, and that it is true and is as full and explicit as he is able to
make it. "
It will be noted that the Code requires that the statements show amounts
received "in detail". It also requires that there be a complete listing of all of
the contributors of the money received.
This raises the question whether in listing the names of the contributors
it is necessary to couple their names with the specific amounts which that par-
ticular contributor conveyed to the candidate or his committee.
The California law has been interpreted as to not to require such
reporting. It is a strained result, but the present Governor of California when
he was Attorney General issued such an opinion in 32 OP Attorney General 88.
-3-
It requires only that in the section of the form relating to the receipt
of funds there be listed "in detail" all of the funds received by a given committee,
and then a separate section requires that you list all of the names of the contri-
butors. In practice then, candidates in California (since the Attorney General's
opinion) have made a separate listing of the money received without reference
to the contributor and then dropped to the next section and listed the donors
without relating the amount of the contribution to the names.
The question arises as to the date from which receipts and disburse-
ments must be reported in the primary election. Although there is no case law
in this point, practice has dictated that the filing requirements relate only to
transactions subsequent to the actual filing by the candidate. The filing dates
are March 7 - April 6.
Thirty-five days after an election or primary a candidate and each
treasurer is required to file this "campaign statement. 11 The gubernatorial
candidate and the committees operating on behalf of such a candidate are required
to file one copy of the campaign statement in the office of the Secretary of State
and one additional copy with the Clerk of the County in which the candidate
resides.
With regard to the requirements of campaign contribution, in terms of
amount, this problem is not specifically dealt with in the California Election
Code. The philosophy of the California Code has been to force disclosure rather
than attempt specific limitation.
Who has duty to file campaign statement?
A campaign statement must be filed by both the candidate and the
-4-
treasurer of each campaign committee. The candidate would be required to
report personal receipts and expenditures made by him and also receipts and
expenditures of a committee if he has knowledge of a committee's financial
transactions (20 OPS Atty Gen 197).
Every committee must appoint a treasurer to "receive and disburse
all moneys contributed for campaign purposes, and keep a true account thereof,
and shall in the same manner and on the same type of form as required of
candidate, file a campaign statement" (Section 11530, Elections Code).
Section 11565 provides that no officer shall issue any certificate of
nomination or election to any person until his campaign statement has been
filed. The prohibition to issue the certificate applies only if the candidate does
not file a campaign statement. If a committee, supporting a candidate, does not
appoint a treasurer nor file a campaign statement, the officer can not withhold
the issuance of the certificate (32 OPS Atty Gen 88 (1958).
Corporate Contributions
Unlike many other states, California does not penalize corporate con-
tributions for state offices. It is clear that an organization whose sole purpose
is to support the election of one or more candidates for a state office in California
can properly solicit and receive contributions from corporations organized under
the law in the state of California or one of the other states of the union and make
expenditures subject to the reservation that certain limited types of corporations
are prohibited from making such a contribution or expenditure, For example, a
national bank, a federally organized corporation, a government contractor, a
registered holding company or a California licensee under a license granted
by a state agency are not permitted to make political contributions for the
election of a member of such a state agency. (12042)
ADMINISTRATION
Under the classification of State Headquarters Administration, two major categories have
been combined -- that of headquarters management and the purchase and distribution of
campaign materials. We have found these functions to dovetail and a smooth operation
has been achieved.
HEADQUARTERS MANAGEMENT
With responsibility for the over-all administrative operations of our Headquarters, the
following activities are under the supervision of the Administrative Director:
Personnel
In addition to the large and most effective Volunteer Staff, there is now a
Clerical Staff of twelve. A great deal of time goes into the process of inter-
viewing, employing and directing these staff members. They must be carefully
selected and every effort is being made to employ persons who are not only
capable and willing to work long hours, but who also have the loyalty and
enthusiasm so vital to the progress of a successful campaign. Our present staff
includes secretaries, stenographers, a switchboard operator, a receptionist,
mail clerks and a mimeograph machine operator.
Office Furniture & Equipment
We have been fortunate in obtaining the bulk of our office equipment and furnish-
ings on loan from various firms. However, as our staff expands, it is necessary
to continually seek out other sources of such contributions, as well as to arrange
for rental and purchase of those items which cannot be obtained gratis. In addi-
tion, our telephone plant is constantly being enlarged and altered for more
efficient operation.
Expenditures
Invoices for all expenditures come to the desk of the Administrative Director
for review. These must be evaluated, broken down by category and processed
for payment.
CAMPAIGN MATERIALS
Literature
In production of literature, the Administrative Director works closely with the
Director of Public Relations who, in turn, works with the advertising agency
on copy and design. A number of items have been produced to date: a general
(A-1)
brochure, windshield stickers, bumper strips, two kinds of lapel tabs, and window
cards. It is the responsibility of the Administrative Director to determine the most
efficient and economical methods of production to be used, quantities needed, and
to order materials accordingly. A great deal of follow-up work is required in
reading proofs and being in frequent contact with printers, typographers, and the
supply depot to insure delivery of materials on schedule and to maintain adequate
inventory at all times.
As materials are developed, a small "seed" supply is being shipped to each local
committee, free of charge. Subsequent orders, however, must be purchased by
each committee. Costs and detailed procedures for purchasing additional supplies
are given in a memorandum which follows this presentation.
Jewelry & Novelties
Because of previous success achieved by volunteer groups in raising funds by the
purchase and resale of jewelry and novelties, and because of the cumbersome
record-keeping that would be required if the headquarters were to purchase and
resell this merchandise through the regular campaign fund, this activity has been
set up as a volunteer effort. Each group will buy and sell any items which they
believe will meet with greatest acceptance. A number of such pieces have been
selected, a list of these has been compiled, together with prices and suppliers,
a copy of which is included at the end of this section.
Mass Mailings
To date, mailings have consisted mainly of letters to prospects and members
of the "Statewide Committee, " News Bulletins, and the mimeographing and
mailing of press releases.
However, as the Field and Contact Divisions move into high gear, they will
initiate a tremendous flow of mailings to various occupational and professional
groups, civic groups, women's organizations, etc. In this program it will be the
responsibility of the Administrative Director to again determine the most efficient
and economical method of reproducing letters and enclosures, to order all printing,
and to supervise the mechanics of addressing and mailing.
Many of the county and community leaders have had a great deal of experience in all these
areas. However, it should be stressed that, particularly in the fields of graphic arts and
mailing procedures, very worthwhile savings can be effected by using the best process
suited to each specific job. For this reason, any who may not have been previously involved
with this phase of campaigning are urged to call upon the Administrative Director for assist-
ance.

Inter-Office Memorandum
NIXON for GOVERNOR
March 5, 1962
TO:
COUNTY CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS
FROM:
A. V. Sammelman, State Headquarters
SUBJECT:
Campaign Materials
In order to achieve the simplest, most economical method of purchase and distribution of
campaign materials and to take full advantage of maximum quantity discounts even for small
orders, the following procedure has been established:
INITIAL SUPPLY
An initial supply of materials will be sent to each County Headquarters as soon as
I have received notice that the Headquarters has been established and have been
notified of the correct shipping address. This supply, furnished without charge to
the County, will represent, in percentage of Republican registration: 10% windshield
stockers; 10% lapel tabs (5% each of two varieties); 2% brochures; 1% bumper strips;
a few one-sheet posters and 1/2 cards.
Some of these items may not be immediately available but they will be shipped as
soon as possible. You will note that the bumper strip allotment is comparatively
small; there is a reason for this. Bumper strips cost seven times as much as wind-
shield stickers and we question that their value is that much greater. Therefore, we
would like to encourage the use of windshield stickers as much as possible.
FUTURE NEEDS
After these materials have been shipped, all future needs should be obtained by
sending an order, accompanied by check, to Allied Service Units, 5419 South Vermont
Avenue, Los Angeles 37; make check payable to Allied Service Units. Costs, includ-
ing packaging and mailing, are as follows:
Brochures
$ 12.75 per M
Lapel tabs "State"
$ 5.10 per M
Windshield stickers
5.80 per M
Lapel tabs "Nixon"
4.20 per M
Bumper strips
38.50 per M
Half cards (14"x22")
15.00 per C
As new materials are developed, we will send on an initial supply, together with costs,
for additional quantities.
LETTERHEADS
As County or Community Headquarters are opened, and only on specific request, we
will furnish a set of negatives of the two-color art for letterheads which can be turned
over to a local printer. This method is preferable to printing the letterheads in Los
Angeles and having each community re-run them to add addresses and names, as the
local printer can add this information to the blue negative, thus saving one press run.
Local Chairmen should be alerted, however, to the fact that all printing must carry
the union label.

ORGANIZATION
The Nixon for Governor Campaign has two phases. Phase I, which
will end on March 31st, has been primarily concerned with the fundamental
organization of the campaign structure and the formulating of plans and
programs. Phase II, which will continue through the General Election on
November 6th, will be concerned with the implementation of such plans and
programs by the established organization.
The campaign will be operated on a North-South basis with a steering
committee established to coordinate the statewide effort. Campaign and
finance chairmen have been chosen and appointed for the Northern and Southern
California Divisions and are responsible for the effectiveness of the campaign
effort in their respective areas.
A copy of the Southern California organization chart which next appears
in this section is followed by a roster of volunteer and staff personnel.
Summary statements describing the various programs of each staff activity
have been prepared and are to be found under appropriate tab headings.
Supplemental material will be provided from time to time and should
be placed in the binder when received. This will insure a central reference
source for basic campaign policy and informational statements and, as such,
will be of value.
There is no need to relate here the stake that all Californians have in
the outcome of this campaign. Our State, soon to be first in the Nation in
population, must have decisive, courageous and constructive leadership worthy
of its heritage and its promise. To insure that we obtain such leadership in the
person of Dick Nixon is the job of all who participate in this campaign effort.
