Dear John:
Sections 104(b) and (c) of the Federal Election Campaign
Act of 1971 require that a candidate for the office of
President, or a person specifically authorized in writing
by such candidate, certify to any person making a charge
for use of any newspaper, magazine, outdoor advertising
facility or broadcasting station on behalf of his candidacy
that payment of such charge will not violate the expenditure
limitations imposed by Title I of the Act.
In accordance with this requirement and the regulations
and guidelines found in 11 CFR 4. 12(c) and the answer to
Question 1, Part VII of the March 16, 1972 Federal
Communications Commission Public Notice entitled
"Use of Broadcast and Cablecast Facilities: Candidates
for Public Office", I hereby authorize you to make such
certifications on my behalf for my campaign for nomination
and election to the office of President. In that these regu-
lations and guidelines also require a statement of any re-
strictions or limitations on your authority to act in this
regard, by this memorandum I notify you that none are
imposed.
Sincerely,
The Honorable John B. Connally
Chairman

Authorizations Required by the
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971
The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 requires that all
political committees which solicit contributions or make
expenditures on behalf of a candidate for federal office must
be authorized in writing by the candidate. To avoid the burden

Elections, who is charged with administering this Act, has
permitted the delegation of the power of authorization. / Attached
at Tab A is a letter delegating this power to Maurice Stans and
Hugh Sloan. Secretary Stans recommends the use of this
procedure.
A further requirement of the Federal Election Campaign Act
is that each candidate authorize in writing a person who can
make certifications to any person charging for the use of
communications media that the spending limitations will not
be exceeded by payment of the charge. Attached at Tab B
is a memorandum to Hugh Sloan authorizing him to make such
certifications on your behalf. Secretary Stans has also
concurred with the wording of this memorandum.
Recommendation
That you sign the letter and memorandum attached at Tabs A
and B.
