Book excerpt: Excerpt from Presidential Campaign Activities of 1972, Senate Resolution 60, Vol. 1: Hearings Before the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities of the United States Senate, Ninety-Third Congress, First Session, Watergate and Related Activities, Phase I: Watergate Investigation, Washington, D. C., May 17, 18, 22, 23, and 24 If the allegations that have been made in the wake of the Watergate affair are substantiated, there has been a very serious subversion of the integrity of the electoral process, and the committee will be obliged to consider the manner in which such a subversion affects the continued existence of this Nation as a representative democracy, and how, if we are to survive, such subversions may be prevented in the future. It has been asserted that the 1972 campaign was influenced by a wide variety of illegal or unethical activities, including the widespread wiretapping Of the telephones, political headquarters, and even the residences Of candidates and their campaign staffs and of members Of the press; by the publication of forged documents designed to defame certain candidates or enhance others through fraudulent means; the infiltration and disruption of opponents' political organizations and gathering; the raising and handling of campaign contributions through means designed to circumvent, either in letter or in spirit, the provisions Of campaign disclosure acts; and even the acce tance Of campaign contributions based upon promises Of illegal inter erence in governmental processes on behalf of the contributors.
