Folders include bank deposit slips, adding machine tape lists of deposit amounts, photocopies of contribution checks, response form letters, and name and address lists of contributors. A variety of completed returned response form letters, addressed back to Baker, are included; many these have check boxes for the contributor to mark thereby choosing among several liberal democrats (photo and brief description included) that they want to help defeat.

Arrangement: Folders are in numerical order by deposit number (except for "C053" which follows 4658 and "C054" which follows 4663); this is also chronological order.

BAKER'S POSSIBLE 1988 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

THE BAKER COMMITTEE FILE 1985-1987 (1.5 cu. ft.)

Description: The Baker Committee was established in 1985 as a "testing-the-waters" exploratory committee with the purpose of determining whether Baker should become a 1988 Republican Presidential Candidate. Most of the records in this file deal with the committee's finances, but also included are records concerning various aspects of setting up and running the committee. Some documents have "Baker for President Committee 1988" on them rather than the more common "The Baker Committee." Types of records found in this file include correspondence, memos, notes, photocopies of incoming and outgoing checks, bank records, address lists, reports, and completed contribution forms.

Arrangement: The file is in four groups: general, accounting records, deposits, and disbursements. The "general" group is in alphabetical order by folder title. The accounting and deposits folders are in chronological order. The disbursement records are in alphabetical order by name of recipient.
