Herman E. Talmadge Collection, Subgroup C, Series IV: Watergate files document the United States Senate Select Committee on
Presidential Campaign Activities, known as the Ervin Committee. The committee was ordered to investigate the Watergate break-in
and cover-up as well as other matters relating to the 1972 presidential campaign. These files reflect Talmadge's involvement
on the Senate Select Committee and include committee and subject files, witness information, and proceeding reports. The files
also contain correspondence, legal documents, lists, memorandums, and reports relating to committee business, political espionage,
and the Bellino subcommittee. The Bellino subcommittee was composed of Senators Talmadge, Edward Gurnery and Daniel Inouye,
and was created to investigate allegations that Carmine Bellino had spied on Republican party campaign officials during the
1960 presidential campaign on behalf of the Democratic party. The subject files consist of witness summaries, statements,
exhibits, and correspondence. Materials pertain to illegal campaign contributions by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and
Braniff Airways, ITT anti-trust and milk pricing cases, and the Responsiveness Program, an attempt to make government departments
more "responsive" to the political needs of Nixon's re-election campaign.
