Watergate - The Committee to Re-elect the President The Committee to Re-elect the President Nixon Forms the CRP The Committee to Re-elect the President, abbreviated as CRP, later nicknamed CREEP, was a fund-raising organization for President Nixon's 1972 election campaign. Many of its members were later indicted with criminal charges relating to their actions within the CRP. The members of the Committee to Re-elect the President were: Kenneth H. Dahlberg - Campaign Midwest Finance Chairman E. Howard Hunt - Campaign member Fred LaRue - Campaign Political Operative G. Gordon Liddy - Campaign member Jeb Stuart Magruder - Campaign Manager James W. McCord - Campaign Security Coordinator John N. Mitchell - Campaign Director Donald Segretti - Campaign Political Operative Hugh W. Sloan, Jr. - Campaign Treasurer Maurice Stans - Campaign Finance Chairman "Dirty Tricks" Donald Segretti was in charge of the many "dirty tricks" carried out by the CRP. These acts included the break-in to Nixon critic Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, the FBI investigation of CBS reporter Daniel Schorr, and plans by G. Gordon Liddy to have newspaper columnist Jack Anderson assassinated.

CRP funds amounting to $500,000 were used to pay lawyer's fees for the five Watergate burglars. When discovered, this linked the crime back to the White House, igniting a huge political scandal.

Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, Yorba Linda, California. National Archives and Records Administration. Top of Page Administrative History In late 1970, members of the Nixon administration's White House staff began planning for President Nixon's re-election campaign. Accordingly, in the spring of 1971, Attorney General John Mitchell, who had managed the 1968 Nixon campaign, was tapped to serve as campaign director and the nucleus of the campaign staff opened offices at 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. Originally called the Citizens Committee to Re-Elect the President, the organization, then headed by acting director Jeb Magruder (who became deputy campaign director when Mitchell resigned from the Justice Department to take up his political duties full-time in 1972), began planning to run a national campaign independently of the Republican National Committee. The White House and the Citizens Committee decided to keep the fundraising and financial operations of the re-election effort separate from the rest of the campaign apparatus. Francis Dale was named campaign chairman with a committee of eight co-chairmen, Maurice Stans became the finance chairman, and John Mitchell formally inhabited the campaign director position in April 1972.

Under Mitchell, the committee (renamed the Committee for the Re-Election of the President) was split into three divisions: Administration, Citizens and Political. The Administration division of the committee consisted of the advance/tour office, the attack division, the counsel for the committee, polling and scheduling. It also incorporated an in-house advertising agency called the November Group (as opposed to hiring an outside company as had been the practice of campaigns) and the convention planning office. The citizens groups focused on voter blocs such as Labor, Ethnic, Business, Veterans, and Spanish. Each group had a division leader. The political division was split into regions with each region assigned to one political leader. On June 17, 1972, five men, including James McCord, the committee's head of security, were arrested while breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Office Complex in Washington, D.C. Upon hearing of the break-in, members of the committee staff proceeded to destroy records relating to the burglars' activities from the committee offices. As a result of the break-in and subsequent publicity, Mitchell resigned as campaign director on June 31, 1972. Former Congressman Clark MacGregor replaced Mitchell.

Jeb Magruder retained the rank of deputy campaign director but White House personnel chief Fred Malek officially joined as a second deputy campaign director. Malek's ascension prompted a reorganization of the committee, with Magruder remaining in charge of Administration and Malek assuming command of the Citizens and Political divisions. Top of Page Provenance of Collection In February, April, and May 1973, the materials of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President were placed into courtesy storage with the National Archives and Records Service for eventual deposit into Richard Nixon's presidential library (the materials of the separate Finance Committee to Re-Elect the President were not placed into NARS' custody). Throughout the spring of 1973, subpoenas for civil and criminal investigations concerning the Committee were served on the General Services Administration (at the time the overseeing agency of the National Archives). NARS personnel reboxed the textual committee records and created draft descriptions of the materials in preparation for compliance of the subpoenas. Despite NARS' requests, the agency never received a deed of gift for the materials.

The collection remained in NARS' physical custody through 1986 until the decision of the 1972 Campaign Liquidation Trust to deed all of the remaining money and records from the Committee and Finance Committee to the Republican National Committee, which in turn gave the records of the Committee to Richard Nixon. In 1989, the Committee records were moved to California, where they were temporarily stored at the Reagan Presidential Materials Project in Culver City, California, and were subsequently placed by the Nixon Foundation in an offsite storage facility in Orange County, California. On July 10, 2007, Don Bendetti, the chairman of the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation, signed a deed of gift deeding the Committee materials to the newly formed Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum, part of the National Archives and Records Administration. In February 2008, due to space constraints in Yorba Linda, the materials were moved from the Foundation's offsite storage facility to the NARA facility in Laguna Niguel, California.

In November 2008, the Jeb Magruder papers were moved to the Nixon Library and in November 2009, the Frederic Malek papers were moved to the Nixon Library. Top of Page Scope and Content Summary The Frederic Malek papers from the Committee for the Re-Election of the President Collection (CRP) consists of memoranda, letters, reports, federal files and campaign related materials from Malek’s Deputy Campaign Director office and White House Personnel Operations (WHPO) office. These materials relate to the operation of the Committee, the formation and implementation of the Citizens and Political Divisions, and also include materials relating to personnel and communication in the government at large. The papers are arranged into four series: Correspondence, Campaign Administrative, Citizens Division and Political Division. The Correspondence series is arranged alphabetically and thereafter chronologically when applicable. There is one sub-series of WHPO materials relating to administration communication, management of non-career personnel and Malek’s article for the Harvard Business Review. Within this sub-series, the memorandums are arranged chronologically, the remaining subject files are arranged alphabetically. The second series of materials are Campaign Administrative Files.

These files consist of documents relating to the creation and day to day operations of the CRP at large. This series is arranged alphabetically. The third series consist of materials relating to the Citizens Division. The citizen groups or voters blocs were groups of people organized to assist in the re-election of the President Nixon. The groups are Agriculture (Farm), Blacks, Business & Industry, Catholic, Educators & Teachers, General Citizens, Heritage, Intellectuals, Jewish, Labor, Lawyers, Older Americans, Physicians & Dentists, Spanish-Speaking, Special Ballots (Transient), Urban Citizens (Ethnic), Veterans, Women and Youth. These files are arranged alphabetically by group/bloc, and then alphabetically within each group. The fourth series relates to materials regarding the Political Division. Regional directors were hired to serve as point people for the campaign in designated regions of the county. These materials include documents relating to the canvassing of voters and information relating to state committee activities and chairmen. The files are arranged alphabetically. There is one sub-series of state files, which are arranged alphabetically.

Following publication of Fred Maroon's book in 1971, Deputy Campaign Director Jeb Magruder invited Maroon to profile the Committee to Reelect the President (CRP). Maroon could not guess the significance of meetings he attended and persons he photographed  or why he was politely asked to leave so many "reelection strategy" meetings. He began shooting just days after the break-in at the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee. LIFE magazine published his photo essay, September 15, 1972. The Committee to Reelect the President was organized to win a second term for Richard Nixon in 1972. Headed by former Atty. Gen. John Mitchell, CRP included many former Nixon White House staffers.

As advertising and marketing plans for Nixon's campaign moved forward in the spring of 1972, so did covert plans  wiretaps and other forms of harassment directed against the president's opponents  that would eventually bring down the second Nixon administration.

In early April 1973, a TIME researcher called Maroon with an urgent request for a photograph of Dean. Maroon didn't even remember Dean. By the time he located the image in his files, the researcher had rung back several times. The photograph was published in the April 16 issue of TIME, for which Maroon received many times his normal picture rate.

When the Senate hearings began weeks later, Maroon realized he had the beginnings of an important historical record and decided to continue covering the Nixon administration and the Watergate proceedings. Nixon, CREEP and Watergate: They’re Baaacck! | BillMoyers.com Nixon, CREEP and Watergate: They’re Baaacck! April 13, 2012 Share The Watergate complex in Washington, April 20, 1973. (AP Photo) Those of us who cut our journalism teeth covering Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal(s) were caught up in a wave of nostalgia this week as our colleagues at ProPublica reported that a new super PAC has registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) — called CREEP, the Committee for the Re-Election of the President.

CREEP was what everyone called Nixon’s 1972 fundraising committee, despite their futile efforts to make us act like grown-ups and use its official acronym, CRP, or simply, ”the Committee to Re-Elect.” But CREEP was just too irresistible, especially given the perpetual, political cartoon stereotype of Nixon as a hunched-over, skulking stalker with five o’clock shadow, and the ever-mounting real evidence of break-ins, bag men and other assorted dirty tricks. The new CREEP is based out of a post office box at the Watergate office, apartment and shopping complex, “an inside joke with a serious punchline,” ProPublica’s Kim Barker writes. “The old CREEP… helped spur the creation of the FEC. The website for CREEP Super PAC says it’s committed ‘to raising voices not dollars’ and advocates disclosure. From the ProPublica article: “It’s an excellent chance for people to step back and say, “Are we happy with 40 years of campaign finance and the lack of disclosure?”’ said Robert Lucas, 22, founder of the new CREEP and a graduate student in public policy at Georgetown University.

‘There’s a lot of irony, with the 40th anniversary of Watergate and where we are now.” Where we are now, thanks to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United and other decisions, is 324 Super PACs registered with the FEC, of which only half or so actually have raised or spent money. But the ones that have are living large. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, so far, super PACs aligned with presidential candidates have spent a whopping $80,773,876 , and The New York Times notes , “The big money in presidential politics is about to get a whole lot bigger.” The Romney campaign is setting a goal of $600 million; President Obama’s campaign expects to reach or exceed the $750 million raised in 2008. And those figures don’t count the hundreds of millions expected from Super PACs and others. “This is going to be the most moneyed election in the history of the United States,” said Bob Edgar, the president of Common Cause, a group that favors greater restrictions on campaign spending. Mr.

Edgar, a former congressman who was among the Democratic ’Watergate babies’ elected in the wake of the scandal, added, ‘There is a sense of coming full circle, of forgetting our history — the reason we installed a system for financing campaigns that didn’t rely on corporate or wealthy money.” In the words of the notorious Deep Throat, the Watergate crisis supposedly taught us to “follow the money.” But in a post-Citizens United world, unlimited and anonymous contributions plus other fundraising dodges make tracing campaign cash harder than ever. Arizona Senator John McCain was co-sponsor of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act that was partly scuttled by the court decisions. Recently, he attacked Citizens United and warned “I promise you, there will be huge scandals because there’s too much money washing around, too much of it we don’t know who’s behind it and too much corruption associated with that kind of money. There will be major scandals .” Stay tuned. Share Are you aware of our Comment Policy?

Published on Nov 10, 2014 The Committee for the Re-Election of the President (also known as the Committee to Re-elect the President), abbreviated CRP, but often mocked by the acronym CREEP, was a fundraising organization of United States President Richard Nixon's administration. Besides its re-election activities, CRP employed money laundering and slush funds and was directly and actively involved in the Watergate scandal. The CRP used $500,000 in funds raised for the purpose to re-elect President Nixon to pay legal expenses for the five Watergate burglars after their indictment in September 1972, in exchange for their silence and perjury. This act helped turn the burglary into an explosive political scandal. The burglars, as well as G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, John N. Mitchell, and other Nixon administration figures, were imprisoned over the break-in and their efforts to cover it up. This video is targeted to blind users.

Gordon Liddy - Campaign Member and Finance Counsel Before April 7, 1972, there was no law requiring a campaign to disclose the names of individual donors to political campaigns. Therefore, the amount of money and individuals donating that money to CRP was a tightly held secret. In addition, corporations were secretly and illegally donating money to the campaign. Theodore Roosevelt had previously pushed through this prohibition of corporations donating money back in 1907. continue reading below our video Profile of Deep Throat President Nixon's secretary, Rose Mary Woods, kept the list of donors in a locked drawer. It actually became known as Rose Mary's Baby. This list was not revealed until Fred Wertheimer, a campaign finance reform supporter forced it into the open through a successful lawsuit. Visitors can see this secret list at the National Archives where it is held today with other Watergate papers. Dirty Tricks and CRP In the Watergate Scandal, political operative Donald Segretti was in charge of the many "dirty tricks" carried out by the CRP. These acts included the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office, the investigation of reporter Daniel Schorr, and plans by Liddy to have newspaper columnist Jack Anderson killed.

Daniel Ellsberg had been behind the leak of the Pentagon Papers that had been published by the New York Times. According to Egil Krogh in an op-ed piece in the New York Times printed in 2007, he was charged along with others to carry out a covert operation that would uncover the state of Ellsberg's mental health in order to discredit him by stealing notes about him from Dr. Lewis Fielding's office. According to Krogh, the break in which found nothing about Ellsberg was done in the name of national security. Anderson was also a target due to his exposing classified documents that showed that Nixon was secretly selling arms to Pakistan in their war against India in 1971. Anderson had long been a thorn in Nixon's side. The plot to discredit him was widely known after the Watergate scandal erupted. However, the plot to possibly assassinate him was not verified until Hunt confessed on his deathbed. One of the five men arrested and convicted of burglarizing the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate Hotel (James W. McCord, Jr.) was Chief of Security for CRP. It was later found out that McCord received payments from the committee.

Further, $500,000 of CRP funds were used for lawyer's fees to represent the five Watergate burglars. When this connection was discovered, the crime was definitively linked back to the White House, igniting the scandal that would eventually lead to the resignation of Richard Nixon.
