General Counsel Federal Elections commission - 999 E Street, NW* ~ Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: Complaint for Possible Federal Violations by Friends of Dan--Boatwig=h Committee- Dear Mr. Noble: Please consider this a formal complaint for your consideration under Section 111.4 of Volume 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations. our full names and addresses as complainants are set forth at the end of this letter. We are supporters of Reverend Jesse Jackson's candidacy for president and are involved in his campaign to secure delegates in the California presidential primary, June 7, 1988. Senator Daniel E. Boatwright is a candidate for re-election and renomination in the upcoming primary of the same date. We are concerned that Senator Boatwright's activities designed to create the illusion of a "slate" of himself and the Reverend Jackson in connection with the primary election are violative of federal campaign spending limitations and thereby threaten to tarnish Reverend Jackson's California campaign. Let us state at the forefront that Reverend Jackson's formal campaign organization has disavowed Senator Boatwright's activities and we believe that the Jackson campaign is not in any way responsible for these "slate" activities. (See enclosed article from the Saturday, April 9, 1988 issue of the West Contra Costa Times.) In conformance with 11 CFR 111.4(d), we set forth the following: 1. The respondent appearing to have possibly committed violations of Federal campaign spending regulations is the Friends of Dan Boatwright Committee, Michael A.
