CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Peter M. Flanigan
Assistant to the President
FROM:
Maurice H. Stans
The national accounting firms who were most helpful to
the campaign in 1968 were the following, in order:
Ernst & Ernst
Price Waterhouse & Co.
Haskins & Sells
As you know, there are eight major accounting firms.
There was some small degree of assistance from Arthur Young
& Co. and Arthur Anderson & Co. in addition to those above,
but no identifiable help to the national campaign from Lybrand,
Ross Bros. & Montgomery; Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart; or
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.
Most of the accounting firms are Republican-oriented, and
it is possible that most of them may have helped locally rather
than nationally.
The ninth largest accounting firm, Alexander Grant & Co.,
also contributed some support in personnel.
Among all of these, however, the financial contributions of
Ernst & Ernst were outstanding, with Price Waterhouse & Co.
providing manpower help in several places.
