PART 3 LARGE PARTY CONTRIBUTORS NATURE AND EXTENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS With a view to possible legislative recommendations, the committee made a special study of contributions reported. During the campaign, as regular periodic reports were filed by senatorial candidates, the names of contributors of $50 or more listed on such reports were contacted by the committee, and such contributors were required to file a report with the committee listing any other contributions made to other candidates or organizations. In this manner the committee was able to obtain a rather extensive report on contributors, showing whether they contributed to more than one candidate, or party organization, in more than one State. Later the committee prepared a special list of all contributors to national party organizations, or to Presidential, Vice Presidential, and senatorial candidates, whose contributions represented sums of $500 To each of these contributors was mailed a questionnaire, or more. a copy of which is set forth as follows: AUGUSTINE LONERGAN, Connecticut, Chairman SHERMAN MINTON, Indiana WARREN R.
