Hugh Sloan Biography

Records show private contributions totaling about eighty-nine thousand dollars moving through Nixon reelection committee accounts later scrutinized during the Watergate investigation.

Campaign finance records bearing Sloan's authorization help investigators trace contributions and checks that later became associated with Watergate financing.

A $25,000 cashiers check earmarked for the Nixon re-election campaign was found in the bank account of one of the Watergate burglars.

Further investigation revealed that, in the months leading up to their arrests, more thousands had passed through their bank and credit card accounts, supporting the burglars' travel, living expenses, and purchase,.

However, through a complicated fiduciary set-up, the money actually went into an account owned by a Miami company run by Watergate burglar Bernard Barker.

On the backs of these checks was the official endorsement by the person who had the authority to do so, Committee Bookkeeper and Treasurer, Hugh Sloan

Several donations (totaling $89,000) were made by individuals who thought they were making private donations to the President's re-election committee.

The donations were made in the form of cashier's, certified, and personal checks, and all were made payable only to the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
