WORTHY Vanderbilt University Cresap, McCormick and Paget MILTON KATZ PAUL ZIFFREN Harvard University Law School Tiffren and Ziffren Copyright @ 1971 by Citizcns' Research Foundation FOREWORD For some years the Citizens' Research Foundation has been using for research purposes the data on financial contributions to polit¡cal candidates that appear in public reports filed pursuant to federal and state statutes. The information has been used as source material for a series of studies of political finance prepared by political scientists and published by the Foundation. The data on contributions, along with other information on campaign funding, have been available for examination by interested persons at the Foundation's headquarters ¡n Princeton, New Jersey. Until now, the CRF information on political donations has not been disseminated in the form presented here. ln pursuit of its aim to give as comprehensive a picture of American political finance as possible, and to encourage others to do likewise, the Foundation is now publishing a Iisting of contríbutions made by individuals to candidates for public office or their committees in 1969, as shown in public records. lt is hoped that this publ¡cation will be of use to students of politicat finance. Compilations of this kínd have appeared before from time to t¡me. Congressional Quarterly for many years regularly published lists of political contributors of sums above a certain amount, drawn from public reports. Newspapers, magazines, and individual scholars have published less complete listings. Committees of Congress have issued reports which have included listings of individual givers, the most notable being that by the Senate Subcommittee on Privileges and Elections in 1956.-57. The Citizens' Research Foundation acknowledges the generosity of the Ford Foundation for the grant' that has made this publication possible.

The Secretary of the Senate is the not included, if these receipts were not filed in Washington. This means that depository for reports of candidates for the office of Senator only, while the Congressional campaigns more fully reported at the state than at the federal Clerk of the House receives all national committee reports and statements of level-as many are-are not well represented in this compilation. Because of candidates for the House of Representatives in general or special elections, as these exclusions, many individuals who made contributions in small amounts well as all reports of receipts by incumbents both Senate and House in of in primaries or at state and local levels are not listed here, and some of those non-election years. ln addition, a few state and local politícal committees who are listed might well have contributed more than the compilation shows. voluntarily file with the Clerk of the House.
