Dear Mr. Helms:

As you may be aware, the Senate is to conduct a full and
complete investigation of the allegations of illegal or improper
activities during the recently completed national elections. This
investigation is to include an examination of the events surrounding
the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in
the Watergate, the reports of political sabotage and espionage,
questions concerning the receipt and accounting of campaign funds,
and the practices and procedures of the various agencies and
officials in their investigation of such activities.
I am writing to request that you not destroy, remove from
your possession or control, or otherwise dispose or permit the
disposal of any records or documents which might have a bearing
on the subjects under investigation, including but not limited to
all records pertaining in any way to the financing and operations
of any activity related to or affecting the nomination or election
of any person during the recent Presidential campaign.
Sincerely yours,
Approved for Release: 2017/01/18 C01482451
