Northern California Finance
ee: RM
M. Stans
During the course of the State Central Committee meetings
in Sacramento last weekend, I had several sessions with the
Northern California United Republican Finance group.
As you know, it is their intention to set up a URF to cover all
of the Northern Counties. At the present time they have
an agreement from about 10 Counties, but expect to be able to
expand this successfully to cover the bulk of the rest.
Their plan is to raise $1 million and they have allocated
this to the candidates, as follows:
Nixon
$440,000
Christopher
170,000
Coakley
150,000
Busterud
75,000
Reagan
75,000
..balance to be used for lesser candidates, etc.
I think we come out very well on this percentage-wise, and
hence neither Dolan nor I raised any objection to the allecation.
It is, of course, highly unlikely they will raise the $1 million,
but it is agreed the percentages will apply to all funds raised.
There was considerable discussion over the commitments the
candidates would make regarding their own fund-raising activities.
It was agreed that any funds raised by a candidate's organization
from a normal URF or Republican Party source would be credited
to the candidate's quota within the county up to the amount that
source would normally contribute to the Party. This means
any funds raised from other sources do not go against the quota,
nor do any funds raised from normal sources, but in greater
amounts than normal.
They also felt that any funds raised and expended within a
county on behalf of one single candidate should be credited
against the quota. I strenuously objected to this, and although
the wording was left in the final draft of their plan, it was
agreed verbally this was not a practical clause and that no
- 2 -
attempt would be made to enforce it. If carried to its
extreme, this would mean that any money used by local
people for literature, materials, headquarters etc. would
be deducted from their overall quote. This, of course,
would create an impossible situation.
Dolan appears to be ready, willing and able to go to
work for Mixon, and seemed quite charged with the idea
and necessity of raising separate Nixon money outside of
the URF quota. So maybe there is some hope.

Dear Ed:
I am resubmitting my California Club statements for the
months of November and December, and am adding the January
statement.
Personal expenses have been deducted, although there were
very few.
I have also deducted the dues, per your instructions.
I trust you will now be able to approve these for reim-
bursement by the Treasurer.

Dear Maurice:
Please delete the name of Alfred Bloomingdale
from the list of committee members favoring
Nixon for Governor.
Mr. Bloomingdale is insistent that as President
of Diners Club he must remain non-political.
We know that he personally is in favor of Mr.
Nixon and has and will contribute substantially
to his campaign.
Please correct your records accordingly.
Sincerely,

Re:
Processing Payments
You asked that I confirm in writing procedure presently in effect for
processing all payments by the Mixon for Governor Finance Committee.
We are handling this as follows:
(a) Payroll
Present staff list and pay rates are in the Treasurer's hands
and since these have all been authorised, he is issuing checks
on the 15th and 30th of each month. Additions to the staff are
confirmed to the Treasurer by memorandum from me with
authorization as to rate and starting date.
(b) Normal Expenses
Current operating expenses including supplies, equipment
rentals etc. are submitted to the Treasurer semi-monthly
after I have 0.K'd them.
Reimbursement for personal expenses by staff members are
handled in the same manner.
(c) Haldeman's Expenses
My expenses will be itemized and submitted to you for
approval prior to payment by the Treasurer.
(d) Extraordinary Expenses
All items outside of normal operating expenses covered by
the temporary budget will be submitted to you for approval
before payment by the Treasurer.
It is my understanding that as soon as the permanent Finance Chairman
is appointed, all expenses currently being submitted to you for approval
will instead be submitted to him.

Dear Ed:
I am sending you herewith some correspondence regard-
ing possible contributors and/or workers in the finance area.
The letter from Stanley Freeman in Beverly Hills is self-
explanatory, and it would appear that he might be a very valuable
addition to the Finance Committee working in the chemical and
electronic fields.
I presume from the tenor of Howard King's letter that
he is a professional fund raiser, and is interested in retaining his
services on a fee basis, but perhaps you know more about him.
You may have already received a copy of the letter from
James McEvoy in Michigan regarding eonard Friedman, who
has recently moved to Beverly Hills. You will note that Dick's
X HRH I
reply to him on September 8 indicated that he would be contacted
within the next couple of weeks. If that has not yet been done, I
The cryptic note regarding Larry McQueen may be more
helpful to you than it is to me. I have no idea who or where he is,
but if you don't either, I am sure you can find ouhfrom Rose Woods.

presume it should be at this time.
Dr. Amyes apparently will be helpful in raising money
from doctors, and should certainly be put to work.
I will continue to forward this type of material on to you
unless you indicate otherwise, and will assume that you are taking
if from here. In the case of the letters attached from Freeman
and King, there has been no acknowledgment as yet, so this will
need to be done.
Best regards.
