In the Matter of ) ) MUR 229 (76) Richard A. Viouerie )
CERTIFICATION
I, Marjorie W. Emmons, Secretary to the Federal Election Commission, do hereby certify that on December 2, 1976, the Commission determined by a vote of 5-0, that there was no reason to believe that a violation of the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, has been committed in the above-named case. Commissioner Staebler was not present. Accordingly, the file in this matter is now closed.

L u , BEFORE THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION In the Matter of )MUR 229 (76) Richard A. Viguerie) GENERAL COUNSEL'S REPORT I. Allegations This matter arises from an internally generated complaint reported by Michael Hershman and Keith Vance and dated August 30, 1976. The complaint stated that on August 17, 1976, an advertisement appeared in the Kansas City Times which stated that it was paid for by Richard A. Viguerie. A review of Commission records by investigative personnel revealed that the cost of the advertisement had not been reported as an independent expenditure. II. Evidence The full page advertisement was headlined to read.,.., "Is There A Republican Death Wish? The Nomination of Gerald Ford Will Destroy the Republican Party!" The advertisement concluded by noting that the "Republican Party must nominate a conservative this week or face a united conservative coalition which will replace the Republican Party as the nation's second major party." Commission investigative personnel determined that such an advertisement would cost a minimum of $3,508.08 if the copy was prepared in advance by the payer. - 2 -
As part of the Commission's preliminary inquiry into this matter, a letter requesting additional information about the reporting of this expenditure was sent to Mr. Viguerie on September 16, 1976. On October 20, 1976, I. David Lerman, an attorney for Mr. Viguerie responded that the amount expended for the advertisement ($5,076) in fact had been reported as part of the quarterly report of the Richard Viguerie for Vice President Committee ("the Committee"). This report was filed on October 9, 1976. However, in the event that the Commission determined that Mr. Viguerie should also file as an individual, Mr. Lerman also enclosed a completed independent expenditure report. A review of the October 9th report of the Committee revealed that while the cost of the advertisement had been disclosed, it had not been disclosed in accordance with current procedures for the reporting of independent expenditures by a political committee. Accordingly, a letter was sent on November 4, 1976, to Mr. Lerman which advised him of the proper method for reporting such expenditures and included the requisite forms. On November 10, 1976, Mr. Lerman responded (attachment #1) and enclosed a letter from Mr. Viguerie (attachment #2) and a completed Schedule E form (attachment #3).
OFFICE OF GENERAL COUN$a -3-
III. Analysis and Recommendation There appears to have been substantial voluntary compliance in this matter by Mr. Viguerie since the expenditure for the advertisement was reported (even though it was reported erroneously), and Mr. Viguerie took appropriate corrective action when the matter was called to his attention. Accordingly, we are of the view that there is no reason to believe that the respondent committed a violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. IV. Conclusion We recommend that the matter be closed and the attached letter be sent.

Dear Mr. Lerman:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of October 20, 1976, in which you stated that the costs of the August 17, 1976 advertisement in the Kansas City Times was reported on October 9, 1976, in the quarterly report of the Richard Viguerie for Vice President Committee ("the Committee").
While this has been confirmed by Commission staff, I wish to call to your attention the fact that in order for this information to be considered properly filed, it is necessary for the Committee to amend its October 9, 1976 report to conform with the appropriate Commission procedures for the reporting of independent expenditures by a political committee. I have enclosed an updated copy of FEC Form 3, Schedule E, and a Notice of Inde- pendent Expenditure Reporting to assist you in this regard.
Since the Commission is under a duty to investigate this matter expeditiously, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed forms within five days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact David Anderson (telephone no. 202/382-3153), the attorney assigned to this matter. Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Michael Hershman FROM: Keith A. Vance SUBJECT: RICHARD A VIGUERIE ADVERTISEMENT -- On August 17, 1976, The Kansas City Times newspaper published a political advertisement advocating the defeat of the President, Gerald R. Ford, prepared and paid for by Mr. Richard A. Viguerie. The advertisement failed to, clearly and conspicuously, state that it was or was not authorized by any candidate as required by 2 U. S. C. Section 441d. COInquiry revealed that an advertisement similar to the attached would cost $3,508.08, if prepared in advance by the payer. Advertisement requiring the assistance of the newspaper would cost considerably more. The advertisement, therefore, at a minimum cost $3,508.08. Review of Commission records and reports does not show that Mr. N Viguerie has reported the expenditure as required by 2 U. S. C. Section 434 (e).
