Senator WEICKER. Was this in relation to any particular candidacy? Mrs. HARMONY. I think it runs in my mind we were making some inquiries about what might be necessary for Senator Wallace as to file. Senator WEICKER. I am sorry. Mrs. HARMONY. Governor Wallace. Senator WEICKER. You thought this might be an effort--- Mrs. HARMONY. Yes. Senator WEICKER. On behalf of Governor Wallace? Mrs. HARMONY. Not, on behalf of but, just trying to determine if he could file and in how many States he, might, be able to file, at, that time. Senator WEICKER. And this was activity being conducted out, of the general counsel's office, of the Committee To Re-Elect the President? Mrs. HARMONY. That, is right, but it also was to determine the primary dates and the filing dates for the different States for the. Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Senator WEICKER. SO that the work related both to the Committee To Re-Elect the President as to filing requirements, primary dates, and am I correct that you stated it also had a relationship to Governor Wallace?
