ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN DEAN
FROM:
FRED FIELDING
Today's Anderson column talks about a memo "from the
confidential files of President Nixon's Campaign Finance
Committee" listing major donors. The confidential list
is reported to have been drawn from "known major donors"
to "Republican Senatorial Campaigns in 1970."
Presupposing that Anderson really has such a memo, two
obvieus implications may be drawn.
First, we have a leak at 1701 and/or the Republican National
Finance Committee. It should be relatively easy to determine
the origin of the memo, and those having access to it. I would
think it imperative that this be determined immediately, since
we may have to minimise a very serious situation.
The other possibility is that this information was supplied by
Jack Gleason. It relates to Republican Senatorial Campaigns
in 1970 and Gleason was certainly intimately familiar with that
race.
