SUBJECT:
Outstanding bills - 1970 campaign
I have received considerable pressure from several members of the
White House staff to clean up various bills outstanding from the 1970
campaign that were agreed to by the either county or state republican
committees in Florida, Illinois, and other states. Please let me
make our position perfectly clear.
1) There are no funds available to pay bills that are
agreed upon and authorized by local, county and
state Republican Committees.
2) The minute that we begin to pay these funds out
of RNC monies -- which are very short anyway --
then it provides a fund that is being harassed from
every side to pay similar type bills from every state
and Republican organization of any size. It is
obviously, uncontrollable, and a bad precedent to
start.
3) Prior to authorizing any bills that would even boarder
on question$relative to RNC's obligation, you should
insist that the local chairman in charge or the local
finance head of the Republican county committee or
state committee personally sign or have his repre-
sentative sign, that payment will be made by their
organization.

4) We have paid several of these bills -- contrary to
our desires and wishes and unfortunately can pay
no more.
Please insure that your people are well oriented in this program
and that bills are not approved without having the authorized signature
of that group sponsoring the event. Please help us in this matter as
most of these bills that are now hanging over our heads are those
that we rushed into without proper authorization or planning.
Thank you.
