Glisson Director, Division of Elections\nSUBJECT: Reports, Candidates for President and Vice President\nIn answer to your inquiry about the requirements to file\nreports by candidates for President and Vice President, the\nAttorney General ruled in an opinion 052-203 that -\n\"The applicability of the statute to candidates for political\noffice is limited to those candidates who are seeking nomination\nor election to an office in the State of Florida. Since the\noffices of President and Vice President of the United States are\nnot political offices in the State of Florida, candidates seeking\nthose offices do not come within the contemplation of Section 99.161,\nFlorida Statutes. \"\nHowever, since that opinion, Section (15) of 99.161 was adopted\nand requires persons, groups or committees receiving or spending\nany moneys or things of value in behalf of candidates for President\nand Vice President to file a report. The report is required to\nbe filed forty-five days after the election; a copy to be sent\nto all candidates in whose behalf the action was taken and to the\nChairman of the State Committee of the party with whom the candidate\nis affiliated.\nTo comply with the spirit of the law, we have suggested to the\ncommittees who have contacted us that they use the campaign deposit\nslip and check forms prescribed by our office and to file the names\nand addresses of their Treasurer and Depository.\nDG/cj\ngen-19\n1-5-71\nOrignial to: Harry Dent\ncapar to: Lary Higby\nEXECUTIVE\nRm mary words\nOREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA\nSecretary of State\nSTATE OF FLORIDA\nTHE CAPITOL\nTALLAHASSEE 32304\nIN GOD WE TRUST\nRICHARD (DICK) STONE\nSECRETARY OF STATE\nDecember 27, 1971\nHonorable Richard M.
