MEMORANDUM FOR:
PETER BAUGHER
FROM:
JOHN DEAN
SUBJECT:
State Campaign Financing
Disclosure Requirements
During the primary elections, we had a difficult time obtaining
accurate information on the state laws requiring disclosure of
campaign financing. To avoid this same predicament this fall,
I would like you to research the laws of all 50 states and the
District of Columbia and prepare a synopsis of all requirements
that pertain to the President. You should also prepare a calendar
listing the dates on which the state reports are due.
David has a certain amount of information on the state laws of
states which hold primaries that you can use to start this project.
For all other state statutes, you will have to use either the
Treasury or Justice libraries. If you have any questions about
this project please direct them to David as he will be handling
the filings in the fall.
Thank you.
CC: David Wilson

WASHINGTON
September 14, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN DEAN
FROM:
PETER V. BAUGHER
SUBJECT:
Applicability of State Election
Laws to Presidential Candidates
Few state election laws make more than oblique reference to general
election filing requirements for presidential and vice presidential
candidates. Almost all have specific provisions governing the selection
of presidential electors, including ballot listing procedures and (in a
number of cases) the submission of petitions and financial reports.
In only two instances (Massachusetts and Michigan), do these filing
obligations explicitly carry over to the presidential candidates them-
selves during the general election.
Despite this fact, twelve states and the District of Columbia do have
laws which--arguably--require presidential aspirants to make detailed
statements of contributions received and campaign funds expended.
(See Table I). Most states have corrupt practices acts of some
sort, and when directing disclosure of monies collected and spent, these
acts typically define "candidate" and "political committee" with sweep-
ing breadth. Section 17:269 of the Alabama Code, for example, states
that: "The word candidate in this article means any person who has
announced to the public that he is a candidate for election or nomination
to any public or party office. " Exhibiting the same proclivity for all-
inclusiveness, Section 16:401 of the Arizona Revised Statutes notes
that: "The term 'campaign committee includes
any association
or combination of persons organized, conducted or combined for the
purpose of influencing the result of any election in the state or in any
county, city, town or precinct in the state." Under such definitions,
presidential candidates (or their electors) may well come within the
purview of this legislation.
-2-
Accompanying sections concerning who must file what papers with
whom, though, almost invariably omit any reference to presidential
officeseekers while speaking directly of those candidates for United
States Senator and Congressman, Governor, state legislative posts,
and the like. Some statutes, like the one used in California, even
specify that the candidate file with the clerk in his "home county, 11
a directive which a presidential contender could satisfy in only one
of the fifty states. The clear implication of these provisions is that
the acts in question are aimed at candidates other than those who
are running for President. This of course is a conclusion which
comports fully with what one assumes to have been the legislative
intent of such fair practices acts, especially in light of the policing
burden assumed by the comprehensive Federal Election Campaign
Act of 1972.
A final note should be said with regard to filings made under the
new federal campaign finance law. In those cases where state re-
porting appears necessary but no special form is prescribed, it is
quite possible that the federal statement could be put to double service
--i.e., that it would disclose sufficient information to comply with
local as well as national requirements.
Attached are two tables. The first lists those states in which filings
may be required, and the due dates of those contribution/expenditure
statements. The second table is a complete summary of the relevant
election laws in each of the 51 jurisdictions studied.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
DAVID PARKER
FROM:
JOHN DEAN
SUBJECT:
Filing Dates for Disclosure Reports
As you know, the President is required by the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971 to file numerous reports disclosing contributions
received or personal expenditures made on his campaign for re-election.
We have established a procedure with the Staff Secretary whereby the
reports are routinely forwarded on the necessary dates; and are signed,
notarized, and returned on the same date 60 that we can mail them
that day.
This procedure may have to be adjusted on dates that the President
is not in Washington. Therefore, I would appreciate your notifying
David Wilson if the President will be out of town on any of the following
projected filing dates:
April 21
June 2
April 26
June 12
May 1
August 2
May 5
August 11
May 12
September 4
May 19
October 19
May 26
October 30
We are aware that on May 26 the President will be in the Soviet
Union and are investigating the possibility of having a military aide
act as notary public on this occasion.
Thank you.
