Nixon accused of concealing donor identities in fundraising
Common Cause chair John Gardner condemned Nixon for a serious lapse in moral leadership over not disclosing donors who gave more than ten million dollars to his reelection. The report covers contributions through May 31 under a new campaign finance law and highlights large gifts from PepsiCo president Donald Kendall and Merrill Lynch, with many names still hidden from the public. Gardner urged disclosure, while McGovern and Mankiewicz pressed Nixon to reveal the donor list before the law took effect.
