If a registrant made no such expenditures during the reporting periods herein described, he shall file and state therein that he had no such expenditures. Such reports need not include:
(a)     Reasonable and bona fide expenditures for internal expenses such as office expense, stenographic and clerical assistance, cost of mailings to members and ordinary mailing lists, and cost of regular and routine research.
