According to reports (Boston Sunday Globe, 11/4/84), conservative
organizations spent at least $18 million on Reagan's re-election
"in what are called independent expenditures that circumvent fed-
eral spending limits" dictated by campaign funding reform laws.

They also deliberately confuse the issue by giving themselves
officially-sounding titles to connect them in donors' minds
with the GOP & its campaign organization.  Title like the follow-
ing proliferate:

	Voters for Reagan
	Americans for Reagan
	Women for Reagan
	Americans to Reelect President Reagan
	Citizens for Reagan in '84
	American Heroes for Reagan
	Taxpayers for Reagan
	Americans for Reagan in '84
	Christians for Reagan
	etc.
