WASHINGTON (UPI) — The federal
government says it has spent nearly $2
million improving President Nixon’s
homes in'Florida and California, all of it
relating to ‘“‘security.”

The White House also disclosed that
businessman Robert H. Abplanalp, who
helped the President buy his San Clemen-
te, Calif., retreat, has been getting some
money back in the form of rent associated
with Nixon’s Key Biscayne, Fla., place.

A month ago the White House had
listed $39,000 in federal funds for im-
proving the Western White House at San
Clemente since Nixon bought it in 1969.

Last week, after a further search of
record, it raised this figure to $460,302.

On Thursday, General Services Ad-
 ministration (GSA), the government’s
housekeeping agency, said a still more ex-
tensive audit put the total federal expen-
diture at San Clemente at $703,367 over
four fiscal years beginning July 1, 1969.
This included only the residence there,
not the White House office space.

GSA listed for the first time the federal
expenditure for improvements, equip-
ment, operation and maintenance at the
White House complex at Key Biscayne,
including both residence and office
space— $1,180,522, spread over five fiscal
years beginning July 1, 1968.

Included in the Key Biscayne figure
was $161,463 for renting two houses in the
complex for the Secret Service and White
House communications staff.

The White House said one of these
 houses is owned by Abplanalp and the
other is owned in the name of Edwin H.
Underwood, trustee for the Indiana
National Bank, Indianapolis.

The White House said all of the tax-
payers’ money spent in San Clemente and
Key Biscayne was for security-related im-
provements and that all work was done at
the request of the Secret Service, not the
President.

The GSA data showed items such as
$53,644 in fiscal 1970 for interior security
and communications at San Clemente. It
also included $3,303 in fiscal 1970 for golf
carts for the Secret Service patrol at Key
Biscayne.

Two years later there appears another
item of $5,230 for three Secret Service golf
carts there.
