The measure would tax checkoffs directing 1 dollar per individual to a candidate or nonpartisan fund, with Wallace potentially receiving 6.3 million and third party candidates reimbursed by vote share. Republicans oppose the plan, while Democrats push to use it as leverage against Nixon and to boost party coffers ahead of 1972.
