Dear Mr. President: Pursuant to the provisions of "Section 103.101, Florida Statutes, we are required, during the second week in January each year a presidential preference primary is held, to prepare a list of names of presidential candidates who are generally advocated or recognized in news media throughout the United States or in the State. Therefore, my list has been prepared, published and submitted to the Presidential Candidate Selection Committee which will make the final deter- mination as to those names which will be printed on the ballot. Your name was among those listed for consideration to the Selection Committee. Florida's election laws also provide that the names of the candidates selected by the Selection Committee shall be printed on the ballot unless an affidavit is submitted stating without qualification that he is not now, and does not pres- ently intend to become a candidate for president at the upcoming nominating convention. An affidavit form is enclosed for your convenience, if you wish to withdraw your name. It will also be necessary for you to let us know the exact way your name should be printed on the ballot.

GREAT STAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA Secretary of State STATE OF FLORIDA THE CAPITOL TALLAHASSEE 32304 IN GOD WE TRUST RICHARD (Dick) STONE SECRETARY OF STATE December 27, 1971 HD NM Honorable Richard M. Nixon President of the United States White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: Pursuant to the Florida law concerning the March 14 presidential preference primary, this office has established a press clipping file which indicates that you are a possible candidate for the presidential nomination. Enclosed you will find a copy of a memorandum from Mrs. Dorothy Glisson, the Director of our Division of Elections. This memorandum covers the requirements of Florida law in the areas of filing reports on receiving or spending of any monies or things of value during the presidential preference primary in March of 1972. As a candidate for president (also for vice president), you do not have to file contribution reports for monies you receive directly. However, Florida law requires that persons, groups or committees receiving these items or spending monies in your behalf must file the required documents with our Division of Elections. I would suggest that you pass this information along to your Florida organization so that they may be aware of the legal requirements in this area. They should also contact the Division of Elections to obtain the proper reporting forms. As an additional precaution, we are releasing copies of this memorandum to the press so that it may receive full publicity in order to alert campaign personnel of their responsibilities under the law. If you have any questions please contact me at any time. Cordially, Richard Richard (Dick) Stone RDS:vct CC: Presidential Candidate Selection Committee RICHARD (DICK) STONE MEMORANDUM SECRETARY OF STATE TO: Senator Stone Date: December 20, 1971 FROM: (Mrs.) Dorothy W. Glisson Director, Division of Elections SUBJECT: Reports, Candidates for President and Vice President In answer to your inquiry about the requirements to file reports by candidates for President and Vice President, the Attorney General ruled in an opinion 052-203 that - "The applicability of the statute to candidates for political office is limited to those candidates who are seeking nomination or election to an office in the State of Florida. Since the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are not political offices in the State of Florida, candidates seeking those offices do not come within the contemplation of Section 99.161, Florida Statutes. " However, since that opinion, Section (15) of 99.161 was adopted and requires persons, groups or committees receiving or spending any moneys or things of value in behalf of candidates for President and Vice President to file a report. The report is required to be filed forty-five days after the election; a copy to be sent to all candidates in whose behalf the action was taken and to the Chairman of the State Committee of the party with whom the candidate is affiliated. To comply with the spirit of the law, we have suggested to the committees who have contacted us that they use the campaign deposit slip and check forms prescribed by our office and to file the names and addresses of their Treasurer and Depository.
