The confidential list\nis reported to have been drawn from \"known major donors\"\nto \"Republican Senatorial Campaigns in 1970.\"\nPresupposing that Anderson really has such a memo, two\nobvieus implications may be drawn.\nFirst, we have a leak at 1701 and/or the Republican National\nFinance Committee. It should be relatively easy to determine\nthe origin of the memo, and those having access to it. I would\nthink it imperative that this be determined immediately, since\nwe may have to minimise a very serious situation.\nThe other possibility is that this information was supplied by\nJack Gleason. It relates to Republican Senatorial Campaigns\nin 1970 and Gleason was certainly intimately familiar with that\nrace.\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL"
