primary must file an individual report which she provides
directly to the delegate.

ARKANSAS
(501)374-1628
Primary
Arkansas has disclosure requirements but they do not apply
either to the President or to the Committee to Re-Elect the
President, since there is no Republican presidential primary
there. The preference primary law was repealed in March.
Delegates are selected entirely by committees. See Ark.
Election Law, Sec. 3-202, 3-204.
General Election
The statute is so broadly written that it presumably applies
to presidential candidates: "Any candidate that shall seek public
office in any election" must file a report of all expenditures over
$25 within 60 days after the election. Section 3-1102. But
Arkansas' statutes generally treat the presidential election as the
election of the state's individual electors. Sec. 3-206. We should
inquire as to the established practice - sometime before January
1973.

ARKANSAS
(501) 374-1628
Spoke with a gentleman in the Secretary of State's office
who was uncooperative. The gist of what he told me is that
Arkansas does have a disclosure requirement, the report being
due within 30 days after the May 30 primary. He said
we should consult the Arkansas code. His secretary promised
to send a copy of the pertinent code sections to Dave Wilson.

CALIF OR NIA
(916) 445-6371
On May 2 Tom Lumbard spoke to Mr. Lowenstein in the
office of the Secretary of State. He is sending to all candidates
a letter outlining California's report requirements and enclosing
the relevant forms. They are, in brief:
By July 11, each presidential primary candidate
must submit a list of all contributions and
expenditures received or made with respect
to the primary. Copies of Federal reports are
accepted for what Federal law covers, but
California also requires (1) pre-April 7
contributions/expenditures and (2) contributions
of $100 or less.
But, it is sufficient if the President states that
he has authorized no one but X [e.g., California
Committee for the Re-Election of the President]
to act for him and that no expenditures or
contributions other than those by or to X were
made with his knowledge and consent.
The above was oral from Mr. Lowenstein and we should see
whether the letter amends it. He will send a copy of the letter to
Dave Wilson.

Mr. Martin Schaller, Assistant to Mayor Washington. Spoke
with Mr. Schaller who told me D.C. has no specific disclosure
and reporting requirements. He is accepting in his office the
same reports filed with the clerk of the House of Representatives.
He feels that so long as the same reports are filed with him, the
District's legal requirements are met.
April 26, 1972
FLORIDA
(904) 224-2171
Tom Lumbard spoke to Mrs. Glisson in the Elections Division of
the office of Richard B. Stone, Secretary of State on 4/27. A report
from each group or committee that collected or expended funds on
behalf of a candidate is due 45 days after the primary (i. e. April 28).
The information required is similar to that required by the post-
election report form; she will send copies to Dave Wilson.
Presidential primary candidates are not personally required to
file, as they are not candidates for an office in the state, according
to a recent ruling of the state attorney general. The only applicable
provision, Section 99. 161(15), Florida Statutes, requires a report
to the Secretary of State by a "person, group, or committee
receiving or spending any moneys or things of value in behalf of
any candidate for
federal office
", with a copy to the candidate
and to the chairman of the state committee of his party. (N.B.:
Florida requires presidential candidates to file affidavits of non-
candidacy to get the ballot, and this can hardly require them to file.)

ILLINOIS
(217) 525-7017
Tom Lumbard spoke to Mr. Hollenkamp Division of Index,
Office of the Secretary of State on 4/27. No reports are presently
required respecting primary or election receipts or expenditures
except the election reports filed with the Federal Comptroller General,
but several bills are pending.

INDIANA
(317) 633-4000, x6859
Spoke with Mr. Davis, an attorney in the State Board of
Elections, who told me to check Burns Indiana Statutes, Vol.
7, pt. 1. There are expenditure reports which must be filed
by the treasurer of the Committee to Re-Elect the President
within 45 days after the May 2 primary. There is no specific
form or document which must be used. Mr. Davis is sending
Dave Wilson a copy of the election laws on the subject.
April 26, 1972
Primary Election Laws of Indiana, issued by the State Election
Board, indicates (pp. 27-30) that a candidate's "political agent" or,
if he appoints no such agent, the candidate himself, must keep
detailed records and file a financial report within 45 days after the
primary (i.e. by June 16). Since the law calls for filing in the
candidate's or agent's county of residence, its applicability to the
presidential primary is vague.
Mr. Wayne Davis in the office of the Board advised me today,
that, if the President appointed no political agent and made no
expenditures for the Indiana primary (in which he was unopposed),
he is not required to file a report. I suggest that a letter be sent
to the Board to obtain written verification of this.

MARYLAND
(301) 267-5861
On 4/28 Tom Lumbard spoke to Willard Morris State Administrator
of Election Laws. He advised:
1. As a presidential candidate placed on the ballot by the
Secretary of State (see letter of Secretary of State to President,
2/28/72), the President is not required to file reports of receipts
and disbursements as an individual. Similar advice has been given
to Democratic eandidates.
2. But, since the Republican State Committee has filed with the
State Board of Election Laws appropriate notification of the creation
of a Maryland Committee for the Re-Election of the President, that
Committee must file the reports required by Section 26 of the Election
Laws before noon on May 9. This is a joint requirement of the
committee's designated chairman (Edward P. Thomas) and treasurer
(Leonard C. Krewe, Jr., Western Run Road, Cockeysville).
A post primary report must also be filed by them by noon on June 15.
While the statutory report form calls for each candidate to attest
to the report of his committee, Section 26-12, that presumably does
not apply to a candidate for presidential nomination, placed on the
ballot by the Secretary of State, if he has not personally designated the
committee's treasurer. See Section 26-11(a), (b). [Note: the
-2-
Humphrey people have tried to disestablish their state committee
treasurer, without success.]
Morris' secretary will send Dave Wilson a copy of the summary
of Maryland's laws relating to contributions.
General election Financial Reports are due on October 31 and
December 7 at noon.

MASSACHUSETTS
(617) 727-2832
Miss Keneen, Public Records Division, office of the
Secretary of State, informed us on 4/27 that the President him-
self need not file a disclosure report, although committees work-
ing on his behalf must file. Some have already done so. (Dead-
line is May 9, two weeks after the primary.)
Mass. General Laws. Chapter 55, Section 17 requires
the treasurer of a committee "organized on behalf of a candidate
for president" to take certain actions respecting campaign receipts
and expenditures; the office itself is omitted with respect to candi-
dates. So the above information is correct.
MICHIGAN
(517) 373-1837
Spoke with Mr. Howard McCowan in the Election Board
section of Secretary of State's office. He told me that a
written opinion of the Michigan Attorney General dated 4/7/72
states that the Committee to Re-Elect the President is not
required to file a disclosure report. He is sending Dave
Wilson a copy of this written opinion.
April 26, 1972
The above mentioned Attorney General's letter states that
presidential primary candidates are not covered by Michigan's
disclosure laws, and that therefore committees supporting such
candidates are similarly exempt from its filing requirements.

NEBRASKA
(402) 471-2311
Spoke with Ralph Englert in the Secretary of State's office
who told me Nebraska has no state law requiring the Committee
to Re-Elect the President to file any type of disclosure report.
April 26, 1972
Tom Lumbard checked the statutes on 5/16/72. Applicable
provisions (Sections 32-1102, 1103) explicitly cover only candidates
for Congress and for state offices, and the general definition of
"candidate" (Sec. 32-111) specifically excludes candidates for
president and vice-president.
But, for general election purposes, it may be necessary
for a report to be filed on behalf of the candidates for elector,
or by a state committee. (The definition of "political committee, 11
Sec. 32-119, is broad and would include presidential campaign
committees.) Nebraska requires reports before the election,
according to Common Cause.
NEW HAMPSHIRE
(603) 271-1110
Tom Lumbard spoke to Donna Bissonnette in the office of
Robert Stark, Secretary of State, 4/27. She confirmed that no
reports need be filed for primary receipts and expenditures.
Election statements of receipts and expenditures must be
filed on September 6 and November 1, by the state committees and
major candidates. Forms not yet available.

the candidate must file an individual report.

NEW MEXICO
(505) 827-4011
Spoke with Mrs. Lucille Cederbocker in the Secretary of
State's office. She told me that the state's law on the subject
is not clear but a recent state bill passed by the legislature
would seem to require the Committee to Re-Elect the President
to file a disclosure report, the same as candidates for lesser
offices do. She is sending Dave Wilson this new state law and
also the necessary disclosure forms. Filing deadline is
June 16th.
April 26, 1972

Spoke with Mrs. Reinera in the Election Bureau of the
Secretary of State's office. She told me that N.Y. state law
has no requirement that the President must file a disclosure
report in connection with the June 20 delegate selection primary.
April 26, 1972
OHIO
(614) 469-2000, X 3084
Spoke with Mr. Ferris in Elections Section of Secretary of
State's office. He told me the Committee to Re-Elect the
President is not required under state law to file any disclosure
reports. Each primary delegate pledged to the President must
file his own disclosure report on a form sent to him directly.
April 26, 1972
OREGON
(503) 378-4144
Spoke with Mrs. Kitsmiller in the Elections Division of the
Secretary of State's office. She told me Oregon law requires
specific forms (# 131 for receipts and # 131A for expenditures) to
be filed by the Committee for the Re-Election of the President.
She is sending Dave Wilson these forms and also the state's election
manual.
April 26, 1972
Oregon Revised Statutes Section 260. 005(1) defines "candidate"
so broadly as to include presidential preference primary candidates.
Sections 260.072 states the responsibility of a candidate's "political
treasurer" to file reports: (1) 10 to 7 days before an election (May 13-16)
and (2) 30 days after the election. Section 260. 035 (3) forbids
contributions or expenditures "by or on behalf of a candidate" until
he appoints a politicaltreasure{certifying his name to the Secretary
of State), and otherwise than through such treasurer.
While this might allow a candidate to avoid filing by appointing
no treasurer, (since a candidate may appoint himself but does not
necessarily do so by not appointing someone else), it would be
advisable for the President either (a) to appoint a treasurer or (b)
to file a treasurer's statement reciting the lack of a treasurer and the
concomitant lack of anything to report. I recommend the latter, which
was orally suggested by Mrs. Kitsmiller to me today.

Spoke with Mrs. Jack in the Election's Bureau of the Secretary
of State's office. She told me each presidential candidate entered
in the 4/25 primary must file a disclosure report within 30 days

behalf. She is sending the necessary forms to Dave Wilson.

Spoke with Mrs. Alma Larson, Secretary of State. (She
is a Republican) She told me that Title B, Section 1225 of the
South Dakota Code requires a report to be filed by the Committee
to Re-Elect the President within 30 days after the June 6 primary.
Thus, the report should be filed by July 6. She is sending Dave

WEST VIRGINIA
(304) 348-3456
Tom Lumbard spoke on 4/28 with Ralph Bean in the office of
Secretary of State. He confirms that the President has not filed
for the primary there, is not a candidate in the primary, and
therefore is not obligated to file a financial statement with respect
thereto.
General election: "candidates" and political committees must file
statements by October 31 and December 7. It is not clear whether,
in presidential elections, this covers the candidates for president
or for the electoral college. Mr. Bean is apparently seeking an
opinion of the state A.G. on this question.

Spoke with office of Ralph Bean in the Secretary of State's
office. He was not there but his secretary told me that a young
lady from the Committee to Re-Elect the President had talked
over the telephone with Mr. Bean a few days ago. Bean is
still awaiting a written opinion from the State Attorney General
on the disclosure question and will call our young lady back
today or within the next few days to indicate what should be done,
if anything.

Tom Lumbard spoke to Mr. Fahey in the Office of the Secretary
of State on 4/27. He confirms that no reports must be filed in
Wisconsin by candidates for president or vice-president, as
they are statutorily excluded from the "candidates" who must
file reports. Election Law Section 12. 01(2); see also 12. 20 (office
not listed). CQ for 4/1/72 is in error.

On June 8, Tom Lumbard spoke to Attorney General Ronald
Tonkin, who advised that the V.I. delegates would be selected at
local caucuses. It thus appears that no federal reports need be
filed for the V.I.
